How to play Premium BlackJack
In Premium BlackJack, that hand wins, the sum of points on which will be as close as possible to 21. After loading the game, a popup box will be displayed on the screen where you should select personal limits. You can choose from the following ranges:
- 10 — 10,000 credits
- 0.5 — 500 credits
- 0.1 — 100 credits
- 0.01 — 100 credits
After choosing one of the options, you go straight to gameplay.
In Premium BlackJack, you can use virtual chips with values from 0.01 to 10,000 in credits. For each game, the available face values depend on the limits that you have chosen. Your main task is to place such bets that will be successfully played. You can place the bet on both your own combinations and on the dealer`s hand.
It is very easy to place the bet. To do this, just place the chips of the selected value on the appropriate tabs. After finishing the first bets, a menu with the following buttons will be displayed on the right side of the screen:
- x2 — double down
- deal — deal cards
- clear bets — delete all chips
- undo — undo the last action
If a player presses the Deal button, 2 cards are dealt for each of the active hands. One of the dealer`s cards is placed face up. Now it is time to analyze the combinations that you’ve gotten and decide what you should do next. If the sum of points is as close as possible to 21, it is not recommended to take additional cards. If your cards give you a small sum, you should draw another card.
The points in Premium BlackJack are calculated as follows:
- cards from 2 to 10 — by its face value
- cards from 10 to a king — 10 points each
- ace — 1 or 11, depending on which situation is more beneficial for you
If blackjack appears on any of the hands (the combination of cards that gives 21 points), you have instant payouts. The following actions are available for the remaining hands:
- x2 — double down
- stand — leave the current combination unchanged
- hit — take an additional card
If two cards with the same number of points appear on your hand, you can use the Split function, after which the combination will be divided into two hands. If a virtual opponent has an ace on his hand, the dealer will offer you insurance. At the end of the game, it becomes evident which of the hands have won, and prize payments are credited to the corresponding balances. After that, you can use the following options:
- double & deal — double past bets and deal
- rebet & deal — repeat past bets and deal
- rebet — repeat past bets
Your current balance is displayed in the lower left part of the interface.
