How to play Blackjack
Beat the dealer by getting closer to 21 without going over. Cards 2–10 count their number, J/Q/K count 10 and an Ace counts 1 or 11. Free play chips only — if you run out you get a free refill.
Rules at this table
- 6-deck shoe, reshuffled when the cut card comes out.
- Dealer stands on all 17s (including soft 17) and checks for blackjack when showing an Ace or a ten.
- Blackjack (Ace + ten-value card on the first two cards) pays 3:2. Other wins pay 1:1; ties push.
- Double on any first two cards (also after a split): double your bet and take exactly one more card.
- Split two cards of the same value into two hands (up to 4 hands). Split Aces get one card each; 21 after a split is not a blackjack.
- Insurance is offered when the dealer shows an Ace: pay half your bet; it pays 2:1 if the dealer has blackjack.
