This is a variation on standard Blackjack that features the Perfect Pair side game. We offer six deck Blackjack. If you are not familiar with Blackjack, proceed straight to the Perfect Blackjack Rules. Return to this page after you have learned the rules.

To play the game:

• Click on a chip to select it. Click on the available hand positions (the circles arranged in a semicircle on the table). Every click increases your bet by the value of the selected chip. Bets can be placed on any of the hands to play on only one or up to five hands simultaneously. To decrease your bet, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and simulteneously click on the bet to decrease it by the value of the selected chip.
• Side bets can be placed on the Player's Pair betting area of any of the hands as well as on the Dealer's Pair betting area near the dealer's hand.
• You can click Clear Bets to remove all bets from the table.
• The minimum and maximum bet limits on each hand are dependent on your VIP level and are shown on the table. The limits apply to the initial bet only. Actions (such as Split, etc.) that require an additional bet can still be used even if you placed a bet equal to the maximum bet.
• Click the Deal button to deal the cards. Two cards are dealt to the player and the dealer hands. The cards are dealt one by one to each hand in turns, with the first card going to the player hand. The last card goes to the dealer hand and is dealt face down.
• If you are playing more than one hand, actions are taken for each hand separately, starting from the right-most hand
• If the dealer's face up card is an Ace, you are offered insurance. Click the Insurance button to insure against the dealer having Blackjack.
• Use the Hit, Stand, Double and Split buttons as required.
• Please note that Insurance, Double and Split require an additional bet. If your balance does not have enough money to cover these expenses, you will need to deposit more money to use these options.
• The dealer reveals the face down card and draws additional cards according to the rules.
• Your hand is compared to the dealer's hand.

The object of Blackjack is for the total of your cards to be closer to 21 than the dealer’s cards, without exceeding 21. In Blackjack, aces count as either 1 or 11, face cards as 10, and number cards at their face value.

If you receive an ace and a ten-value card as your first two cards, you have Blackjack and win 1.5 times your bet (if your bet was 10, you receive 25). If the total value of your cards is closer to 21 than the dealer’s, you win your bet amount (if your bet was 10, you receive 20). If the total of your cards is more than 21, you “bust” and automatically lose your bet. If you and the dealer have the same card total (17 to 21) neither of you win and your bet is returned to you in a “push”. Blackjack beats a score of 21.

Our Blackjack follows the standard “Las Vegas Strip” rules, with the following exceptions:

• After each round, used cards are returned to the deck and the deck is shuffled.
• The player may not split a split hand.
• Only one card is drawn to split aces.
• The player may double after splitting.
• The dealer will not check for Blackjack in any case.
• The dealer draws an additional card when the total of the dealer's cards is 16 or less and stands when the total is 17 or greater (including soft 17s). The dealer does not draw when the player is "bust".
• If the player doubles and the dealer's first card is of value 11 (ACE), and the dealer gets Blackjack, the player loses both his bets. If the dealer’s first card is of value 10, and the dealer gets Blackjack, the player gets the Double bet back.

Split

If your first two cards have the same value, you may split them into two separate hands by placing a second bet equal to the original bet. You will then draw additional cards to each hand. You may draw as many cards as you like on each split hand, but if you split two aces, you receive only one additional card for each ace. If you receive an ace and a ten-value card in a split hand, it is considered 21 and not Blackjack.

Double

If, after you are dealt your first two cards, you think that the third card will allow you to beat the dealer’s hand, you can double your bet. The bet amount becomes twice the original (with the difference taken out of your balance), and you are dealt one more card.

Insurance

If the dealer shows an Ace in his initial hand, you are given a chance to insure your bet against him having a Blackjack. If you get Insurance, an amount equal to half your original bet is placed separately on the table. If the dealer does have Blackjack, you are paid 2 to 1 on your insurance. This way you do not lose your original bet (because you get the 2x half your original bet, plus the insurance amount back). If the dealer does not have Blackjack, you lose the insurance amount.

10 Card Charlie

It is theoretically possible for the player to draw 10 cards without going bust. In this case the player’s hand automatically wins, except when the dealer has Blackjack. 10 Card Charlie is also applicable on a split hand.

Side bets

A side bet is a wager you can make beyond the regular game bet. You can bet that your own first two cards or the dealer's first two cards form a pair. The following is a description of the available side bets:

Player's Perfect Pair / Dealer's Perfect Pair

The side bet rules are the following:

• The Player's Perfect Pair side bet wins if the first two Player cards form a ‘Perfect Pair’, ‘Colored Pair’, or a ‘Red/Black Pair’.
• The Dealer's Perfect Pair side bet wins if the first two Dealer cards form a ‘Perfect Pair’, ‘Colored Pair’, or a ‘Red/Black Pair’.
  • The Perfect Pair side bet wins according to the payout table if the first two Player or Dealer cards form a pair of the same suit, for example a pair of 4 of Diamonds.
  • The Colored Pair side bet wins according to the payout table if the first two Player or Dealer cards form a pair of the same color but different suit, for example 4 of Diamonds and 4 of Hearts.
  • The Red/Black Pair side bet wins according to the payout table if the first two Player or Dealer cards form a pair, but with different colors and suits, for example 4 of Diamonds and 4 of Spades.
• Both Player's Perfect Pair and Dealer's Perfect Pair side bets can be placed at the same time.
• Side bets cannot be placed without placing a regular bet.
