Buster Blackjack

How to play Buster Blackjack

Before the game starts, the user needs to select the limits. There are three different ranges of bets in the game:

• 2 – 1000 credits.
• 1 – 100 credits.
• 0.5 – 10,000 credits.

In the lower left part of the screen, there is a menu where you can select your chips. Their denomination depends on the specified limits. The game uses five hands. You can bet on any of them to win. Additionally, the gameplay features the Buster side bet that allows receiving higher payouts for particular card combinations.

After placing the chips, whose sum meets the minimum limit required, the player can double the bet, clear the playing field, or proceed to the dealing by pressing the Deal button. The player is dealt two cards for each of the active hands. The total amount of points that these cards bring is highlighted automatically, which allows you to effectively plan your further steps within the game. The dealer receives two cards as well, one of them face-up. Then the following actions are available for each hand:

• Raise the bet.
• Split the combination into two if the cards on the hand are of the same value.
• Draw additional cards.
• Leave the combination unchanged.

After that, the hands of the dealer and the player are compared and the winner is declared. The winner is the one who gets 21 points or a lower number of points, which is as close as possible to 21. By getting 22 or more points, the game participant loses.

Numbered cards from two to ten are counted by their face value. The illustrated cards of Jack, Queen, and King are worth 10 points each. An ace can cost either 1 or 11 points, whichever benefits the player most. Once the points have been counted and the winner is declared, a new game round begins. The user can repeat their previous bets or place new ones.

Table layout and payments

When entering the Buster Blackjack game, the user feels like they are visiting a real-life respectable casino. The playing field imitates a blackjack table covered with green cloth. The limits are displayed in the upper left corner, while the upper right part of the screen shows a table with winning combinations and payments for the side bet.

How to win at Buster Blackjack

The Return-to-Player (RTP) rate in Buster Blackjack from Playtech is over 99%. By using the side bet, the player can boost his or her chances of hitting a big jackpot. If your hand is a card combination that gives you a total of 17 or more points, you should refrain from drawing any additional cards since it might increase the likelihood of busting.
