Playing a Hand of Blackjack 21

Face cards contain value 10 and Aces contain value either 1 or 11 as per player’s choice. All other cards contain value as their face value. When the hand's first two cards equal 21, such as an Ace plus a face card, it is called Blackjack.

Player wins the blackjack if the player's first tow cards equal a blackjack. You will win 3 to 2 on your bet if the Dealer does not have a blackjack. If the Dealer also has Blackjack, it is called a tie and you get your bet back.

If you have not blackjack, you are given the opportunity to improve your hand. You may choose one of options depending on the cards as follows:

HIT - Player requests an additional card. Player can request Additional cards until he either stand, his card total value reaches 21, or he bust. When Player bust, he has received a card that puts the total value of all his cards to go over 21. Here, that hand loses and bet is forfeited.

STAND - Here, Player decides to request no additional cards and play that hand against the Dealer's hand.

SPLIT - If the values of first two cards in a hand are same, you may split them into two separate hands by clicking SPLIT button. So that, an extra bet that is same as the original bet will be placed. (A split hand leading to a two card value total of 21 is not a Blackjack.) In 21+3 Blackjack each split hand may be re-split once. You may do this simply by clicking the SPLIT button again. As before, another bet that is equal to the original bet will automatically be placed. 21+3 Blackjack differs from most other Blackjack games in that Aces are split like any other card and there is no restriction on split Aces.

DOUBLE DOWN - If player click DOUBLE DOWN, it automatically double the original bet and receive one additional card, only on the first two cards of the hand. The DOUBLE DOWN may also be used on the first two cards of any split or re-split hands.

In 21+3 blackjack game, the total card value is displayed on circular plaques adjacent to each hand. As cards are dealt, the plaque will display the updated total card value. When your hand holds an Ace and the plaque flashes the total card value along with the work 'Soft', the value displayed is counting the Ace as an 11 instead of 1 (for example, a 5 plus an Ace equals a 'Soft 16').

When your hand is compared against the Dealer's, Aces are given the highest possible value not to exceed 21.

Once you have played out your hand without exceeding 21, then the Dealer's hand will be played out.

If the Dealer's hand is a Blackjack then the game ends and all main bets are forfeited. Here, if player also have a Blackjack then he got main bet back.

In 21 + 3 blackjack game, when the Dealer's total card value is 16 or lower, additional cards will be dealt until the total card value is 17 or higher. The Dealer will bust if the total card value exceeds 21, in which case any of your standing hands wins. Otherwise, the Dealer's total card value will be compared to each of your hands. In the event of a tie, this is a push and your bet for that hand will be returned.

If the Player's hand busts (total value exceeds 21) then the 21+3 Blackjack Dealer will only receive a second card in the case where the Dealer's first card is an Ace and you placed an Insurance Bet.
