Atlantic City Blackjack

Atlantic City Blackjack Game Overview

In order to place a bet, select a chip at the bottom of the table and then place it on the section of the casino table where you want to place your bet.

If you'd like to delete a placed bet, hold the spacebar down and click on the specific chips that you want removed.

Click 'clear' and all of your bets will be erased.

You start the game by clicking on 'deal'.

Betting Options

Repeat and Deal - your bet from the last round is repeated.

Let 'em Ride - all of your winnings from the most recent hand are staked.

Double - Click 'double' and the size of your previous bet will be doubled (the bet must remain under the table limit of £1000).

How to Win Blackjack

The best possible hand in blackjack equals 21.

You can create a hand worth 21 with a combination of cards.

The hand called 'blackjack' is formed of an Ace plus a picture card or a '10'.

All picture cards are worth 10, and all other cards except ace are valued at the number displayed on them.

Aces are worth 1 or 11 (whichever is better for your hand).

If your hand is worth the same as the dealer's hand, then your stake will be returned in a 'push'.

Splitting

If your first two cards are equal in value, then you can choose to split the hand.

Each hand will have independent bets, that are worth the same as your initial bet.

Doubling Down

Once you've been given your initial two cards, you can double down on your wager.

If you choose to double down, then you will need to place another wager that is equal to your existing one.

If you win, the payout will be worth twice the initial wager.

You will receive just one more card if you choose to double down.

A unique feature of this game is that you may choose to double down on any two cards, plus you can double down after deciding to split your first hand.

Insurance

If the dealer's first card is an Ace then you are offered insurance, which can cover you against the risk of the dealer having blackjack.

This costs half of your original bet, and if the dealer fails to complete blackjack then your insurance bet is forfeited, and the hand will proceed as normal.

Surrender

Choosing to surrender lets you leave your hand following the deal.

If you select this option, half of your original bet is lost.
