Learn to play Blackjack

Blackjack is an exciting and classic game, which is actually quite simple to play. The object is to have a hand with a total value higher than the dealer’s without going over 21. Kings, Queens, Jacks and Tens are worth a value of 10. An Ace has the value of 1 or 11. The remaining cards are counted at face value.

How to play

• Place a bet in the betting areas marked on the table
• You and fellow players are dealt two cards each whilst the dealer is dealt one face-up
• Decide whether you wish to ‘draw’ or ‘stay’ based on the total of your cards. You can continue to draw cards until your cards total 21
• Once all players have taken their turn the dealer draws another card for their hand
• If the dealer’s cards total 16 or less, they must draw until they reach 17 or more
• All bets are paid even money with the exception of a BlackJack which is paid at 3 to 2

Rules

• If the dealer’s hand is higher than your hand without going over 21, you lose
• If your hand is higher than the dealer’s hand without going over 21, you win
• If the two hands have equal value, it’s a tie
• All winning bets are paid 1 to 1 but when you get Blackjack you get paid out at 3 to 2

Side bets

21 + 3
Put a stake on the 21 + 3 box and if your first two cards and the Dealer’s first card make either a Flush (all 3 cards the same suit), a Straight (all 3 cards in sequence) or 3 of a Kind (all 3 cards the same rank) you win 9 times your stake.

Super pairs

Put a stake on the Super pairs box. If your first two cards are a pair, you win. Pairs will either be a Mixed Pair (5:1, 1 red & 1 black), a Coloured Pair (10:1, both red or black but different suits), a Perfect Pair (30:1, both of the same suit) or Suited Trips (50:1, a pair of the same colour that also matches the dealer’s first card).

Put a stake on the Top 3 box and if your first two cards and the Dealer’s first card make either a Straight Flush (180:1, all 3 cards the same suit and consecutive rank), 3 of a Kind (90:1, all 3 cards same rank) or 3 of a Kind Suited (270:1, all 3 cards same rank & suit) you win.
