Classic Blackjack

Explanation of European Classic Blackjack

Game rules

European Blackjack is played with two standard 52-card games that are shuffled before each game. You win when you have more points than the dealer (but no more than 21) or when the dealer has more than 21 points. In European Blackjack you can only bet on one hand at a time.
Note: You have Blackjack on a hand consisting of an ace and a card with the value 10. This is the strongest hand in blackjack that you automatically fit into. Defeat is not possible, only equivalent.

Play European Blackjack

1. Click the Increase (+) and Decrease (-) file selection buttons to select the file value that you want to bet.
2. Click on the central betting circle in the play area to select the number of chips that you want to bet.

Note:
– Increase the bet: Click on the bet that you want to raise. The stack of chips is increased by one chip.
– Decrease or delete a bet: Right-click the bet that you want to decrease or delete. The stack of chips is reduced by one.

3. Click the Share button. You get a hand with two cards. The dealer receives two cards, an open card and a closed card.
4. Depending on the dealt cards and the game rules, different game options are available. You can execute more than one option or repeat one option, depending on the phase of the game. The game options are:

Draw card : Click the Buy button. You will receive one card.

Example: Use the Draw card option if you have fewer than 21 points and want another card. The dealer gives you another card from the deck.

Pass : Click the Pass button. You will not continue to play with this.
Example: Use the Fit option if you think your hand is good enough. You will no longer receive a card.

Split : Click the Split button. Your hand is split into two separate hands and you receive a new card for each hand. You can split a maximum of once per hand. This is equivalent to two hands.

Example: If you get two cards with the same rank, for example two women or two, you can use the Split option. You split the cards into two separate hands.

Duplicate: Click the Duplicate button. A second bet equal to your original bet is placed on the table. You receive one card, after which you automatically fit.

Example: If you have a hand with which you think you can beat the dealer, you can double your bet with the Double option. You can double when your hand has a value of 9, 10 or 11. A second bet is placed that will beat your hand to the dealer’s hand. You will only receive one card.

Insure: Click the Insurance button. An insurance bet equal to half of your original bet is placed on the table.

Example: If the dealer’s open card is an ace, you will be given the option to take out insurance. You take out insurance against the possibility that the dealer achieves Blackjack. An insurance bet is placed on the table.
Note: If a button is gray, the relevant option is not available according to the rules. Go to the Terms section for more information about these options and other terms for European Blackjack.

5. After you complete your game options, your hand and the dealer’s hand are compared. The hand with the highest value wins and any scores are paid out.

Terms

21: This is when the value of the cards is 21, but not blackjack. For example: a spade nine, a diamond four and a club eight are equal to 21.
Note: Blackjack is always higher than a hand with a value of 21.

Blackjack: This is when your hand consists of an ace and a card with the value 10. This is the strongest hand that you automatically fit into. Defeat is not possible, only equivalent.

Too much: If your hand exceeds 21, you have too many points. Your hand is over and you lose your bet.

Rank: The value of the cards: Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 2 to 10.
Note: A farmer, wife or gentleman has the value 10 and the ace has the value 1 or 11.

Duplicate:
This is a second bet where you think you can beat the dealer’s hand by drawing only one card. You can double when your hand has a value of 9, 10 or 11. You get one card. Duplication costs the same as your original bet. If you win, your total bet will be paid out twice. This is equal to four times your original bet.

Draw card:
This is when you ask for another card because your hand is not strong enough to beat the dealer’s hand. You will receive one card.

Insurance:
This is a second bet against the possibility that the dealer achieves Blackjack. You can take out insurance if the dealer’s first card is an ace. Insurance costs half of your
