How to Play

5 Hand Blackjack

In 5 Hand Blackjack, the goal is to beat the Dealer's hand. Player's hand has a value that is determined by combining the values of its cards. All face cards are worth 10, Aces are worth 1 or 11, and all other cards are worth their face value. If the value of a hand exceeds 21, that hand is a "bust" and automatically loses. Aces are worth 11 unless that would cause the hand to bust.

Getting a Blackjack

Initial cards are dealt to the player (on any bet spot where bets were placed) and the Dealer. The Dealer receives one face-up card and one face-down card. If the two initial cards equal a sum of 21, that hand is a "Blackjack".

Blackjack Insurance

The game offers Blackjack insurance when the Dealer's face-up card is an Ace. If the Player accepts the Insurance bet offer, another bet equal to half the main bet is placed before the Dealer's hand is checked for Blackjack.
If the Dealer's face-up card is a 10-value card, the Dealer's face-down card is checked without any Insurance bet offer.

Playing a Hand

If neither the Player nor the Dealer have Blackjack, attempt to improve the outcome by playing out the hand. Depending on the cards that were dealt, choose from the following commands:

HIT - Press to draw another card for this hand. Choose to continue drawing cards until the hand value becomes 21 or more. Or, choose to stand and receive no more cards. If the hand value

becomes 21, the hand automatically stands. If the hand busts, all bets placed on that hand are forfeited.

STAND - Press to take no more cards for this hand.

SPLIT - This command is available if the first two cards in the hand are the same value. Press to split the cards into two separate hands and place an additional bet equal to the main bet. Split Aces

receive only one card per split hand.

DOUBLE DOWN - This command is available if the sum of first two cards of any hand is 10 or 11. Press to double the main bet and draw exactly one more card. Double Down on the first two cards

of a split hand, except for split Aces.

SURRENDER - This command is available only when the first two cards are dealt and the Dealer does not have Blackjack. Press to surrender half the bet and end the hand.

When play is finished on the player’s hand, the Dealer reveals the face-down card and draws until the value of the hand is 17 or higher. If the Dealer's hand value exceeds 21, the Dealer busts and

all non-busted hands win. Otherwise, the Dealer's hand is compared to each non-busted hand. When comparing hands, only the highest values that are less than 21 are used for each hand. All

winning hands pay 1 to 1. In the case of a tie, the bet for that hand "pushes" and is returned.

Side bets - Straight 2 Flush & Upcard Luck

This variant of Blackjack uses the standard rules, but with two exciting side bets. The first bet is mandatory, meaning the player must place bets on the Blackjack spot to be able to place the bets on the side bets.

Side bet - Straight 2 Flush

Straight 2 Flush is an optional bet based on the player's first two cards, plus the dealer's up card.

Side bet - Upcard Luck

Upcard Luck is an optional bet based on the player's first two cards, plus the dealer's up card. To win, the dealer must have an up- card of 2 to 7.
