Casino Blackjack Atlantic City
Blackjack is a popular Casino
Game
played with eight standard decks of 52 playing
cards that are shuffled before each
game. Most decent
Online
Casinos
feature this game. The aim is to
beat the Dealer's hand by either getting a higher
value hand, without exceeding 21, or by the
Dealer's hand going bust. In Atlantic
City Blackjack,
you can only bet one hand at a time. Atlantic City
Blackjack Rules The rules of
Atlantic City Blackjack are actually very
similar to that of the original Online
Casino Blackjack
game. But there are slight differences. There should be 8
decks of fifty-two playing cards for this type of
Blackjack. The eight decks of playing cards
need to be shuffled to for the start of every
Blackjack game. Players should be
able to defeat the hand of the dealer by getting a
Blackjack. The dealer may also be defeated if
his/her hand goes bust or over 21. Blackjack happens
if the player's hand has any card valued at ten and
an Ace. A player can't be beaten if he/she gets a
hand of Blackjack. Although, other players may try
to match the Blackjack Dealers will look
at the cards if an Ace or any 10-value card is
dealt to him. The game will end if and when the
Dealer does have a Blackjack. Aces can either
be valued at 11 or 1. Face cards all get values of
10. Players can get 9
additional playing cards for his hand. All in all,
players may have a hand with eleven playing cards.
The hand will automatically Stand if the value is
still less than 21 even if there are 11 cards for
the hand already. The player loses if his/her hand
exceeds 21. The dealer will
have to Stand if he/she gets a soft 17. Payout
Schedule Winning hands in
Atlantic City Blackjack pay out as
follows: If you win with a
Blackjack you are paid out at odds of 3:2 on your
original bet. Example: You bet
20 credits and win with a Blackjack. You win 30
credits plus your original bet amount. So, your
total win amount is 30 credits + 20 credits = 50
credits. If you have a
winning hand but not a Blackjack, you are paid out
at odds of 1 to 1 on your original bet. Example: You bet
10 credits and win a hand. You win 10 credits plus
your original bet amount. So, your total win amount
is 10 credits + 10 credits = 20 credits. If you lose
against a Dealer’s Blackjack and have taken
Insurance, you are paid out at odds of 2 to 1 on
your Insurance bet. Example: You bet
10 credits and take Insurance. Your Insurance bet
costs half your original bet, so is 5 credits. The
Dealer wins with a Blackjack. You receive 10
credits off your Insurance bet plus your original
insurance bet amount. You loose your original bet
amount. General
Rules Atlantic City
Blackjack is played with eight standard decks of 52
playing cards that are shuffled after the
completion of every game. Atlantic City
Blackjack is an American Hole card game. The Dealer
checks for a Blackjack when he is dealt a 10 or an
Ace. If the Dealer has a Blackjack, the game is
over. Blackjack always
beats any other hand with a value of 21. All face cards -
Jacks, Kings and Queens, have a value of
10. Aces can have a
value of either 1 or 11. You may draw up
to nine additional cards to make a hand of eleven
cards, provided the value of your hand does not
exceed 21. If your hand does not exceeded 21 after
receiving eleven cards, your hand automatically
Stands, and the Dealer plays his hand. The Dealer Stands
on a soft 17. Betting and
Payout Rules If the Dealer's
hand exceeds 21, it is bust, and you automatically
win. If you are dealt
an Ace and a card with a value of 10, you have
Blackjack. Your hand automatically Stands. Your
hand cannot be beaten, only matched. If you beat
the Dealer with Blackjack you are paid out at odds
of 3:2. When your hand
and the Dealer's hand tie, it is called a Push.
Your original bet amount is returned to
you. If both the
Dealer and your hand have Blackjack, this is
considered a Push. Your original bet amount is
returned to you. If the Dealer
gets Blackjack after you have Split or Doubled
Down, your entire bet - both the original and
Double Down or Split amounts, are lost. Splitting
Rules You can Split two
cards that have the same Denomination or Value,
such as a Queen and a Ten, or two Fours. Your hand
is divided into two separate hands and a bet equal
to your original bet is placed on the second
hand. If you Split a
pair of Aces and then draw a card with a value of
10, this is not Blackjack, although it has a value
of 21. This rule also
applies to splitting pairs of cards with a value of
10. You can Split a
maximum number of 3 times per game, equaling 4
hands. This rule
excludes Aces. Aces are only Split once. If you Split a
pair of Aces, each Ace is dealt one card, and the
hand automatically Stands. Double Down
Rules You can Double
Down after receiving your first two
cards. The Double Down
bet is equal to your original bet
amount. You can Double
Down after a Split. You cannot Double
Down if you have a Blackjack. Insurance
Rules You can take
Insurance if the Dealer's first card is an
Ace. The Insurance bet
is equal to half your original bet
amount. Insurance bet
wins or losses are independent from your original
bet. Insurance only
covers your original hand. It does not cover any
second hands on a Split, or a Double Down
bet. If the Dealer
does not have a Blackjack, the Insurance bet is
removed from the table, and the cost of the
Insurance bet is deducted from your credit balance.
The game continues. If the dealer has
Blackjack, the Insurance bet is paid out at odds of
2:1. |
