Hit or Stand? Winning at the 21 Card Game (Blackjack)

Game Rules:

The game is hosted by a dealer and played by players competing to get to play in each game round.

The game is played with eight standard 52-card decks. Card values are as follows:

• Cards from 2 to 10 are worth their face value.
• Face cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are each worth 10.
• AAces are worth 1 or 11, whichever is more favorable to the hand. Note that a soft 17 (e.g. Ace-6) is worth 17.

After the allotted betting time has expired, the dealer deals one card face up to the player, and one card face up to the dealer. The dealer then deals a second card face up to the player but the dealer's second card is dealt face down. The value of your initial hand is displayed next to your cards.

Blackjack:

If the value of your initial two card hand is exactly 21, you have Blackjack.

Lightning Rules:

You place an additional mandatory 100% Lightning fee off every initial bet. This means that if your initial bet is ₹100, you are paying ₹200. The Lightning fee is not applicable to splits and spins.

Multipliers:

If you win a round, the next round's payout will be super sized.

After bets are closed in every round after bets are closed, Multipliers apply to bets. The numbers which are from -17 and between 18, 19, 20, 21 or blackjack with a 5, 6, or 7 card or hands will generate a random. Lightning will give numbers you have won a multiplier and the dealer will give you your next game round for up to 180 days.

If a player has a multiplier of 5 and wins and has a total of 18 or 19 and has a total of 20 or 21 and gets a 3:2 payout. A multiplier will be applied, this will be in your favor.

If a player has won a multiplier but does not play a bet on the next round and instead decides to leave the game or is disconnected for a specific time within 180 days, the multiplier will be lost on the betting spot.

The example shows that by multiplying the amount of the Lightning initial bet you have placed, the multiplier was acquired. If you place a wager, the player will be given the amount which was placed.

All payouts with a multiplier are displayed as a multiplied amount. If you have a blackjack with a multiplier, your payout will be even higher.

In the case of a push, you will get your initial bet back, but you will lose your Lightning fee and multiplier.

In the case of insurance, the Lightning fee is not applicable.

Insurance:

If the dealer's upcard is an Ace, you are given the option to take an insurance to offset the risk that the dealer's hole card will give him you have Blackjack yourself. The amount of the insurance bet is typically half your main bet, and the insurance bet is decided regardless of the outcome of your hand. The dealer then peeks at your hand if he has a Blackjack.

• Blackjack pays: 3:2 – 25:1
• Winning hand pays: 1 – 25:1
• Insurance pays: 2:1 if the dealer has Blackjack

Your payout depends on the type of bet placed.

Multipliers that can be won:

• Winning Hand — 2x to 15x
• Blackjack — 6x to 25x

The optimal strategy is based on you placing the same initial bet amount. If you increase your bet in a round where you have qualified, the multiplier will only apply up to the bet amount of the qualifying round. If you lower your bet in a round where you have qualified, the multiplier will only apply up to the new bet amount. You may therefore not fully utilise the multiplier.

Please note that any malfunction voids the game round and all eventual payouts for the round. However, any multiplier you have won in your previous round will still be available for up to 180 days.

The optimal theoretical payout percentage is 99.56%*

Gameplay continues until the cut card is dealt. Subsequently, the cards are shuffled by a dealer or a shuffler.

If a shuffle table is available, then two shoes with two sets of playing cards are used at the table. In this case, the dealer swaps the shoes, and the shuffle is performed by a shuffler at the shuffling table while the dealer continues to host the game round.

Each game round is identified by a unique GAME NUMBER. 21:10:10 This number reflects when the game round began in terms of GMT by hour: minute: second.

If there is an error in the game, system or game procedure, the game round will be temporarily paused while the game host notifies the service manager. You and other players will be notified via Chat, or by an on-screen pop-up message, that the issue is being investigated. If the manager can immediately resolve the error, the game round will continue as normal. If immediate resolution is not possible, the game round will be cancelled, and the initial bets will be refunded to all the players who participated in the game round.

If you are disconnected from a game round while betting time remains, any bets placed will be void and the bets returned to you. If you are disconnected after betting is closed, placed bets remain valid and are settled in your absence. Upon reconnecting, you can view bet outcomes in the History window.
