Black Jack is played with 5 decks of 52 cards each.
The cards are shuffled after every hand played.
The cards are valued as follows:
If a player's hand consists of an Ace and one of either a 10, Jack, Queen or King, it will be considered a BlackJack hand and you will receive a 3 to 2 payment immediately.
If the Black Jack hand is dealt in a Split hand it will NOT be considered genuine BlackJack, and will pay even money. You can only win a hand if you have not exceeded 21 and:
the dealer's hand exceeds 21.
your hand total is greater than that of the dealer.
If your hand equals 21 you will not be dealt any more cards.
Split: If your first two cards have the same value it can be split into two new hands. You can then play normally starting with one card instead of two. Your initial bet will be doubled automatically. If a BlackJack hand is received as a result of a split hand it will be considered as 21.
Double: If your hand equals a total of 9, 10 or 11 when the first two cards are dealt you may choose to Double your bet. On choosing this option you will only be dealt a single card.
Insurance: The insurance option gives you the chance to protect yourself when you believe that the dealer has a BlackJack hand.
If the dealer's open card is an Ace, and you believe that the dealer's other card is either a 10 or a Royal, you may buy insurance against the dealer's Black Jack at the total price of half of your initial bet. If the dealer does have BlackJack, the insurance will pay 2 to 1. If the dealer does not have BlackJack you will lose that insurance amount and play normally.
