Black Jack
Black Jack was originated in France and is one the most popular
casino games in the world. The main objective is to get as close
to 21 without going over while still beating the dealer's hand.
This is done by counting up the value of the cards in your hand.
There is a 6 deck shoe in our Black Jack game. All cards numbered
2 through 10 are at face value. All face cards are valued at 10
while an ace is valued at either 1 or 11 at the player's discretion.
Hands containing an ace valued at 11 are considered to be "soft"
hands (i.e. A, 6 is a soft 17), while hands containing an ace
valued at 1 are considered "hard" hands (i.e. A, 6,
Q is a hard 17). A Black Jack hand is an ace and card valued at
10 (10, J, Q, K). A two-card Black Jack always beats three or
more cards, which equal 21.
Before receiving any cards the player must place a wager. Once
the wager is made the player is dealt 2 cards face up. The dealer
is also dealt two cards, one face up and the other face down.
The dealer's "hole" card remains face down until the
players have completed their hands. At this point the dealer turns
over his hole card. If his hand totals a hard 17 through 21 he
must stand. If his hand is 16 or under, the dealer must continue
to take cards until either his hand is over 16 or "bust"
(which means over 21). The dealer must hit on a soft 16.
The player has many different betting and playing options...
BLACK JACK PLAYER OPTIONS
Hit:
This deals the player another card. If your 2 cards were to equal
10 you have nothing to lose by requesting another card since your
total could not exceed 21.
Stand:
This means that the player is satisfied with his hand and does
not want to risk another card.
Double Down:
A player, after being dealt his first two cards, is always given
the option to double the initial wager. Once you have chosen to
do this, click the "DOUBLE" button and you will be dealt
a third card and no more. Your hand will only consist of 3 cards.
Splitting:
If you are dealt two cards with identical value you can then split
them (i.e. 8,8 or 10,Q). You would now be playing 2 separate hands,
each starting with one of the two split cards. You will now be
dealt a second card to one of the hands. After this hand is played
out, the second hand will be dealt a second card and continued
until that hand is played out. All regular rules apply to each
hand with the ability to double down. You may only split your
hand once and a new wager equal to the initial wager will be placed
for each split hand. A split hand Black Jack pays out at 1:1 rather
the normal 3:2.
Insurance:
If the dealer's first card is an Ace, there is a possibility that
he may have a Black Jack. The player can, if he believes the dealer's
hidden card is a 10, insure himself against Black Jack. If you
choose to insure yourself you have to pay an amount of half of
your stake. If the dealer gets Black Jack, the insurance will
pay 2:1 which corresponds to your original stake. If you have
insured yourself and the dealer does not get Black Jack then you
lose your insurance. Your ordinary stake is settled by whatever
the dealer gets. Therefore, insurance is to be considered a game
of its own within Black Jack, and it gives the player a chance
to protect himself, when he thinks that the dealer will get Black
Jack.
Payoffs:
Players win their wager if their total hand is higher than the
dealer's without going over 21. If the player busts, then the
dealer wins the hand before turning over a card. All hands that
total less than the dealer's hand lose. Hands that are equal in
value will be considered a tie, or a "push", and the
player's original wager will leave the table. If the player gets
a Black Jack the payout will be at 3:2 rather than 1:1.
