Rules
Blackjack – aim for 21 · Rules
Start with virtual chips, select your stake and deal two cards. One dealer card begins face down.
Objective
Beat the dealer's card total without exceeding 21, using virtual chips only.
Deal and setup
Start with virtual chips, select your stake and deal two cards. One dealer card begins face down.
How to play — step by step
- Select a stake in virtual chips and receive two cards; one of the dealer's cards is hidden.
- Choose Hit for another card, Stand to keep your total, Double to double your stake with one last card, or Split when permitted.
- A total over 21 busts. Otherwise the dealer reveals the hidden card and draws according to table rules.
- The total closest to 21 without busting wins; a tie is a push. A natural blackjack is an ace plus a ten-value card in the first two.
Important rules to remember
Play example
An ace and a king as your first two cards are a natural blackjack. Reaching 21 with three cards is not a natural blackjack.
