How to play Blackjack

Your goal is a hand total closer to 21 than the dealer’s, without going over 21. Number cards count at face value, face cards count as 10, and aces count as 1 or 11—whichever helps your hand.

Play money and limits

Each hand is bet from 10 to 5,000 play credits (Ʉ) in steps of 10. You may play one, two, or three hands, with a different bet on each. Blackjack pays 3:2. Insurance costs half of each hand’s bet and pays 2:1 if the dealer has blackjack.

More than one hand

Tap a hand, then tap chips. That chip adds to the selected hand only. Tap Add hand for a second or third hand. Tap an empty last hand again to drop it. Deal starts once every open hand has a bet. Hands are played from left to right.

The shoe

Two standard 52-card decks (104 cards) are shuffled together. A cut card is placed at a random point; when it is reached, the current round finishes and a fresh shoe is dealt next hand. Cards are dealt face-up so you can track what has been played.

Your turn

• Hit — take another card.
• Stand — keep your total and end your turn.
• Double — double that hand’s bet, take exactly one more card, then stand.
• Split — with a pair, split into two hands (each needs another bet equal to the first). Split aces receive one card each and cannot be hit again. The table holds at most four hands, splits included.
• Insurance — when the dealer shows an ace, you may bet half of every hand’s wager that the dealer has blackjack. One decision covers every hand.

Dealer rules

The dealer peeks for blackjack when showing an ace or ten-value card. The dealer hits until reaching 17 or higher and stands on every 17, including soft 17.

Winning

Each hand is settled on its own. You win a hand if its total beats the dealer’s without busting, or if the dealer busts. A natural blackjack (ace and ten-value card) beats 21 made with three or more cards. Ties push and return that hand’s bet.

Tips

• Treat credits as a practice bankroll—decide seat count before raising bets.
• Doubling strong elevens and splitting Aces/eights are standard study drills on a stand-on-soft-17 table.
• Insurance is a separate side bet; skip it while learning basic strategy.
• Multi-seat deals consume the shoe faster—watch for the fresh-shoe notice.

Playing on a phone or tablet

Tap a hand, then tap chips to set that hand’s bet. Add up to three hands, then Deal. Use the action buttons for hit, stand, double and split. Nothing on the table moves between steps, so the buttons stay where you left them.
