How To Play MULTIBET BLACKJACK
We are introducing a new Blackjack game that will enable the player to place one
or two initial wagers on the table if this has been enabled. Multibet blackjack
is a game where the player controlling up to six hands at a time competes
against the dealer. The game follows the standard rules of our regular BlackJack
game.
If multibet has been enabled, the right ring is highlighted when the player
starts playing. This ring is active and is ready to accept the wager. When the
player has placed the first bet they could activate the left ring by clicking on
it. The “Place another bet” arrow points to the empty and unmarked betting
ring provided that the other ring has already received the wager. This is to
remind the player that they can place another wager.
Note: The right betting ring is a default ring. When the player starts
playing this ring is highlighted and ready to accept the wager. In subsequent
games we highlight the ring that took the last wager.
MULTIBET BLACKJACK -
The objective of Blackjack is for a player to come as close to 21 without
going over, while still having a higher number than the dealer. Prior to
receiving any cards, the player must place a wager. Once the wager is made, the
player is dealt two cards face up for each Blackjack game. The dealer is also
dealt two cards. If the total value of the player’s cards is closer to 21 than
the dealer, the player wins as much as he wagered. The player wins if the dealer
goes over 21.
The following terminology is used in the play of the game:
Bet - the Player may make any wager(s) desired
within the posted table limits.
Deal - the Player gets two cards face up for
each Blackjack game and the Dealer gets two cards.
Blackjack – is achieved when first two cards
total 21. Blackjack beats a score of 21 consisting of 3 or more cards.
Bust – is achieved when total value of cards
for either the Dealer or the Player exceeds 21 resulting in a loss of the wager.
Push – is achieved when the value of the
Dealer’s cards (from 17 to 21) and the Player’s cards are equal resulting in
neither winning except in Face Up 21(please see specific Face Up 21 rules). It
also results in the return of the Player’s wager.
Hit – Player desires another card to be
dealt.
Stand – Player desires to keep hand dealt
Split – Player desires hand to be split two
cards into separate hands.
Double – Player desires to double bet and
receive another card.
Card Values
• Suits of the cards have no meaning in the game.
• Cards 2 through 10 are the face value.
• Jacks, Queens and Kings are all valued at 10.
• Aces can count as either 1 or 11 (except in the game of “Caribbean
21”where the Ace has a value of 1 only).
If the player has a hand that consists of a 6 and an Ace, he may either consider
it at 17 or drop its value to 7. The Ace may count as 1 or 11. You may change
the value of the Ace as the hand progresses.
MULTIBET BLACKJACK -
Deal
Clicking on the deal button after placing a bet starts a new game.
Hit
Clicking on the hit button will deal the player an additional card.
Stand
Clicking on the stand button will keep the player’s hand at its current value.
Split
If the player’s first two cards are of the same value (i.e. 7, 7, or Q, K) he
may split them into 2 separate hands, placing a second wager of equal value. The
player then proceeds to draw cards as usual, with these exceptions:
If a player splits two aces, he receives only one additional card for each hand.
A hand totaling 21 after splitting aces is considered 21, not Blackjack.
Double
When a player has been dealt two cards and believes that a third card will give
him a position to beat the dealer’s hand, he can “double.” His wager is
doubled, and he is allowed to hit and receive just one additional card.
Insurance
Insurance gives the player a chance to protect himself when he believes the
dealer might have Blackjack. If the dealer’s first card is an ace, he is
considered to have a fair chance of getting Blackjack. If the player believes
the dealer’s hole card (face down) value is 10, the player may purchase
insurance against dealer Blackjack at the price of half their initial bet. If
the dealer does have Blackjack, the insurance pays 2 to 1, which corresponds to
the amount of the initial bet. If the player has bought insurance and the dealer
does not have Blackjack, the player loses his insurance. The player’s initial
bet is then settled by comparing his cards with the dealer’s. If the dealer
and the player both have Blackjack, the game results in a push.
In the multibet situation, we made it possible for the player to start
playing immediately if they do not want to insure their hands. If the player
placed two bets and dealer hand shows an Ace, we will show two “Insure”
buttons. Buttons are located next to each bet. Insure button is placed into the
blinking ring with arrow pointed to the respective bet. Yellow arrow denotes the
active hand that can receive Split/Double/Hit/Stand command if the player
chooses so. If the player hits Insure button, money will be taken from his
account, placed to the insurance area and the respective Insure button will
disappear. The game starts when either both insurances have been taken or the
player clicks on one of play buttons.
Rebet
Multibet Blackjack is introducing the new re-bet functionality that will be
adopted by other games. Re-bet button will combine two actions: place the last
bet(s) and deal. In this way the player will be able to start a new game just by
clicking on this button. When the first game has been finished (re-bet feature
is applicable), the player will see the new Rebet button that shows the re-bet
amount(s). This button has replaced the Deal button. If the player decides to
place a new bet (clicks on a chip), the Rebet button will be replaced by the
Deal button.
