Rules

  1. Dealer must draw to 16
  2. Dealer stands on soft 17
  3. Blackjack pays 3:2
  4. Insurance pays 2:1
  5. Even Money pays 1:1
  6. Double Down on any first two cards 
  7. Double Down on Splits
  8. No re-splits 

Split:
Split (player hands only) - if you are dealt two cards of the same value (such as two eights or a Jack and Queen), the hand can be split into two separate hands.
When a hand is split, each card forms a new hand and is then played separately. The original bet amount is applied to the second hand automatically by doubling the chip amount in the bet circle.

NOTE: If you split two Aces, only one more card will be dealt to each hand.

A hand can only be split once meaning, if your third card was the same as the first two, it could not be used to create a third hand.

A two card 21 total on a split is not a natural blackjack. If the hand does not push it will pay even money.

Doubling Down:
Double downs cannot be applied to a blackjack hand. A player may only double down on their first two cards. When a player doubles down, the original bet is automatically doubled (a second chip appears) and the player receives one more card.

 Insurance:
When the dealer's up card is an ace, and the player does not have blackjack, the player is offered insurance. Taking insurance means the player makes a second bet (the value of which is half the original bet) that the dealer has blackjack. If the dealer has blackjack, the player loses their initial bet but is paid 2 to 1 on the insurance bet. If the dealer does not have blackjack, the insurance bet is lost and the hand is played out as normal.

Even Money
If the dealer's up card is an Ace and the player has a blackjack, the player is offered 'even money'. Taking even money means the player believes the dealer also has blackjack.

When taking even money, the player is instantly paid 1:1 by doubling the player's chip amount in the bet circle, and play on the hand ends.

When taking even money, the player gives up the normal 3:2 payoff, whether the dealer has blackjack or not.
