Live Blackjack - How to Play

A maximum of seven players can play at a Live Blackjack table simultaneously.

Eight standard 52-card decks are used in Live Blackjack.

Each player receives one card face-up at the end of the betting time.

Card Values 

• Two to ten - face value
• Face cards - worth 10 
• Aces - worth one or 11 (whichever benefits your hand more)

Blackjack

The aim of the game is to get closer to Blackjack than the dealer, without going bust.

Blackjack is achieved when your first two cards equal 21 exactly.

Achieving Blackjack pays 1.5x your total bet.

Insurance Bet

Insurance can be bought if the dealer's up-card is an Ace.

Purchasing Insurance will cost half of your initial bet value.

The entire bet is returned if the dealer has Blackjack.

However, if the dealer does not have Blackjack, the Insurance Bet is lost.

Game Options

There are three options available to take after you have been dealt the first two cards.

• Hit - another card is added to your hand. This can be done multiple times until you reach 21, go bust or decide to Stand.
• Stand - signals that you do not want to receive any more cards. 
• Double Down - adds just one more card to your hand and doubles your original bet.

Split

It is possible to 'split' a pair of cards into two separate cards.

Doing so will add another bet, which is the same value as your initial bet, to the second hand.

A second card is dealt to each hand so that both hands contain two cards.

Unless the split pair were Aces, you can choose to hit multiple times as normal.

However, if the pair were Aces, you can only hit once.

Side Bets

There are side bets available in Live Blackjack: Perfect Pairs and 21+3.

Perfect Pairs

There are three kinds of Perfect Pairs available, each with a different payout:

• Perfect Pair - same suit
• Coloured Pair - different suits of the same colour
• Mixed Pair - different suits
