Vegas Blackjack with 20+ Bonus – How to Play
This game is very easy to play as it has many of the same rules as other games of Blackjack. You need to try to beat the dealer by holding cards in your hand which total to higher than the dealers, without going over 21 points.
You can start by placing bets which is very easy to do. All you need to do is choose the value of the bet increments by clicking the chip at the bottom of the screen. You can see which betting chip is selected because the selected chip will be highlighted and raised slightly. Different values of chip can be selected easily to change the value of bets placed.
When you’re ready to place a bet you can then click in the center of the table in the betting circle. You can continue placing extra chips on the table by clicking multiple times. An extra chip will be placed on the table every time you click on the table.
There are limits for the minimum and maximum bets available. You must bet more than the minimum bet, and less than the maximum bet.
If you have made a mistake with the amount that you want to bet then you can clear all bets by clicking on the Clear button. This will remove all the chips from the table. If you want to remove individual chips then hold down the shift key and click the chips you want to remove.
When you are happy with your bets then you can start play by clicking the Deal button.
There are also rebet buttons which can be used at the end of a game. The Rebet button allows you to place the same bet again for another game. This speeds up play and makes it very simple to continually place the same bet. This option will only be available if you have enough credits in your account.
After clicking the rebet button you also get the option of adding to the bet if you wish. You will then need to click deal again to start the game a second time.
There is also a double bet button which can double your original bet. The bet is doubled each and every time you click the double bet button. However, if you do not have enough credits to double the bet then the option will not be available.
When the deal button is clicked, two cards will be dealt out to you and the dealer.
Playing a Hand of Blackjack
Aces can be worth either 1 or 11 and this will be shown when calculating the total value. All of the face cards (king, queen, and jack) are worth 10 points each. All of the other cards in the game are the value shown on the card.
Blackjack pays out 3 to 1 and is when the first two cards in your hand total 21. This is done by getting a card with a value of 10 and an ace.
If the dealer’s visible card is an Ace then you will be able to choose to place insurance bets against the dealer. By default this will be available, but if you have turned off insurance bets in the options then it won’t be displayed. You can then choose to accept the insurance bet, if you do then another bet which is the same value as half of your main stake will be placed. If the dealer does have blackjack then the payout on your insurance bet will be 2:1. However, if the dealer doesn’t have blackjack then you will lose the bet staked as insurance.
If the dealer does have blackjack then you will lose the main bet and the game will end automatically. This will happen unless you also have blackjack, in this case it will be a push and your original stake will be returned to you.
If the dealer does not have blackjack then you can continue to play your hand. If you are dealt a blackjack and the dealer does not have one then you will automatically win and will pay out 3:2. If neither the dealer nor the player have blackjack then you will have the option of improving your hand by choosing to hit or stand.
If you click the hit button then this means that you will receive an extra card. You can continue clicking the hit button until you want to stand, or the total value comes to 21, or you are bust. If you reach 21 then you will not be able to click the hit button anymore as you have already reached the maximum score of the game. If you bust then you will also be unable to click the button. If you bust by going over 21 then you will lose your original bet.
Clicking the stand button will mean that you do not receive any further cards and that you stick at the current value. This will cause the dealer to try and match or beat your hand.
The split button is only visible if the first two cards in your hand are the same value. You can only split once in the game and this will separate the two cards into two separate hands. However, if you get a two card total of 21 using split cards then this is not a blackjack.
You may also click the double down button on any two or more cards in your hand. This will automatically double the bet, but also limit you to only being able to receive one extra card. This is a good way to increase your winnings if you are confident about your hand.
The total of the cards values will automatically be calculated and shown next to the cards in circles. The total will be updated every time a new card is added to your hand. If your hand holds an ace then the score will show two different alternative scores.
Aces will be automatically chosen to be either 1 or 11 depending on the value of the other cards in your hand. The highest value will be chosen as long as the total value does not exceed 21.
After you have finished your hand and either stand, or reach 21 then the dealer will play their hand out.
If the dealer receives blackjack then you will lose all of your original bet and the game will end. If you have blackjack then you will receive the original stake.
If the value of the dealer’s cards are under 16 then the dealer must accept additional cards. If the total is 17 or higher then the dealer cannot accept more cards. If the value of the cards goes over 21 then the dealer will be bust, this means that if you did not go bust then you will win. If both the dealer and the player are still in play then the scores will be compared. If both are the same value then the original stakes will be returned.
