“Blackjack” is a well known card game. However, over time the game was seriously modified. The scientific theory was developed, the use of which considerably increases the chances for winning. The popularity of the game due to the theory of probability is very high – for the casino you are not always guaranteed to win. This distinguishes the online blackjack from most other games in the gambling houses. Many gamblers are unaware of this, so interest in the game continues to be unabated. Those or other cards in the blackjack bring a certain number of points, but the main task – to score 21 points or at least as close to that amount. It is noteworthy that indulge in this pastime can easily even the color blind – color of the suit does not matter.
For the game in online casino dealer uses 52 cards. The purpose of the player is to receive a combination of cards total score of which is greater than the dealer’s without exceeding 21.
When calculating, the amount of points is based on the value of the cards. All cards with pictures (Kings, Queens, Jacks) have the advantage 10. Aces can be counted as either 1 or 11 depending on the amount of points, if the calculations with aces as 11 gives total over 21 points, aces are counted as 1. The player bets on one or more marked on the table positions (boxes). At the beginning of the game player is dealt two cards for each box, and one card the dealer deals himself. The player can ask for additional cards. If the amount in one box more than 21 points then the wager is lost. A player can not take another card if the total amount of cards is already 21 points. Once a player decides not to take more cards, the dealer starts to deal the cards to himself, while the sum of his points does not reach at least 17. If the total amount of points of a player exceeds the amount of the dealer points, he wins, and vice versa. If the player and the dealer the same amount of points, then no one wins or loses.
Blackjack combination – a combination of Ace and a card worth 10 points – paid in the ratio 3:2.
Suited Blackjack – a combination of an Ace and a card worth 10 points in the same suit is paid at a ratio of 2:1. All other winning hands are paid 1:1. Blackjack wins in all cases, except combinations blackjack dealer.
DOUBLING DOWN: the player can double down on any of the boxes (apart from having a combination of blackjack), and receive only one card. Double after split allowed.
SURRENDER: If after the deal’s first two cards the player thinks he’s coming back a losing combination of cards, he has the opportunity, by paying the cost of half your bet, quit the game, but only so long as his headquarters surrendered no more than two cards. Split SURRENDER not played.
SPLITTING: if the first two player’s cards are of equal importance, he can play split by placing one card and a bet equal to the original in a new box, and continue to play as two different rates. After that, both separated bet wins or loses independently. If a player has split a pair of aces, he will receive for each ace only one additional card, except when it comes another one – then we can once again play at the Split aces. The number of splits is limited only by the fact that the number of bids should not exceed seven.
INSURANCE: If the dealer’s first card is an ace, players may want to put insurance in the amount equivalent to half of the amount bid. If there really was a combination of blackjack, all bets, except combinations blackjack players, lose, and insurance is paid at a ratio of 2:1. If the dealer has not provided a combination of blackjack, the insurance loses and loses a player.
If a player came to a combination of blackjack and the dealer’s first card – the ace, the player can immediately get even money for a combination of blackjack (1:1 instead of 3:2), without waiting for the showdown croupier.
