Game rules European Blackjack
The goal of the game is to get as close as possible to 21 points, by taking additional cards if needed and without going over 21.
How to play the game
If the selected game is loaded, a money-slider will be shown. Drag the slider to the amount you want to play with and click on “PAY IN”. At the beginning of the game, each active hand is dealt two cards. The dealer receives only one card. Cards have the value of the number that is displayed on them. Face cards (Jack, Queen and King) are valued 10 points and the Ace card can be either 1 or 11 points. Try to beat the dealer with a set of higher cards. When your point total is closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand, you win. The payout is 1:1. If you have the same number of points as the dealer has, it is a draw (called “Push”) and your bet is returned to you. If your hand is over 21 (called “Bust”), or if the dealer’s point total is higher than yours, the dealer wins.
If the first two cards show 21 points (Ace + 10 valued card), the hand is called Blackjack. If your hand and the dealer’s hand are both Blackjack, it is a draw. Your winning Blackjack hand is paid 3:2. Blackjack beats 21.
Strategy
The following features are available, depending on the actual situation in the game, to enhance your game strategy:
- -Insurance: If the dealer’s first card is an Ace, you can insure your bet against the dealer having Blackjack.
- -Double-down: If your hand’s first 2 cards show a value of 9, 10 or 11, you can double your bet and just one more card is dealt to that hand.
- -Split: If the first 2 cards of your hand are of the same value, you can split your hand into two separate hands and draw additional cards per hand trying to reach 21. If you split 2 Aces, only one card per hand is drawn.
- -Even Money: If your hand is Blackjack and the dealer’s first card is an Ace, the option ‘even money’ is offered. If accepted, the bet is doubled to you and the hand is finished.
