PS: We’ve got the best seat in the house waiting for you. Let’s get started!
Our blackjack games are played with 8 decks of cards, and the dealer draws to 16 and stands on all 17s. You can double on any 2 cards up front and split on cards of equal value. If the dealer’s upcard is an Ace, you can take insurance. Blackjack pays 3:2, and insurance pays 2:1. If your hand ties with the dealer’s hand, a push game ensues. You will always know what the minimum and maximum bets are per table, and per spot. Click your preferred chip size and place it on the table to get the action started. You may see a fraction displayed on the table. This indicates how many seats are currently occupied, and how many are vacant. If you see 4/7, that means 4 seats are occupied and 3 seats are vacant. Simply pick a live blackjack table to get started!
The rules are easy to learn. Each game can accommodate up to 7 players. You will see the number of vacant seats listed at each table. Our blackjack games are played with 8 decks of cards featuring 52 cards per deck. Aces count as 1 or 11, and cards 2-10 have their nominal value. Cards with paint on them (Jacks, Queens, and Kings) are valued at 10. You will be allocated time to place your bets, and once those bets have been placed, the blackjack croupier will deal 1 card to each player in turn. The player immediately to the left of the dealer will receive cards first. Once all players have received their first card, a second face up card will be dealt to each player. One of the dealer’s cards is face up, the other is face down. Remember, it doesn’t matter what other players are holding – it’s you versus the dealer.
