What is the objective of Blackjack?
The objective of Blackjack is to come as close to 21 without going over, while still having a higher total than the Dealer. Prior to receiving any cards, you must place a bet. Once your bet is made, you'll be dealt two cards face up. The Dealer is also dealt two cards with one of the cards facing up.
A total of 21 points with three or more cards is not considered Blackjack.

Point Values
Cards 2 through 10 = face value
Face Cards = 10 points
Aces = 1 point or 11 points, whichever makes a better hand
Example: 6 Ace = 7 points or 17 points

To Play
1. Click chips to place a bet within table limits or click Rebet
2. Click Deal
3. If the Dealer's face-up card is an Ace, click Insure if you would like to buy insurance
4. Click Hit, Stand, Double, or Split
5.Continue to click Hit until you Stand, Double, bust, push, or until the dealer busts
Doubling - You can only Double once in Blackjack.
Splitting - You can split the first two cards dealt if they are of equal point value. When you split, you must place an additional bet that is equal to the ante. You will now have two hands. You can continue to hit for each hand, unless the split was made for a pair of Aces, in which case you can only hit once for each hand.

Insurance is an additional bet that the dealer has Blackjack. You can purchase insurance when the dealer's face-up card is an Ace. Insurance cost half the amount of the ante and pays 2:1 if the dealer has Blackjack. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the insurance is collected by the house.
