Atlantic City Blackjack - Game Information

Form your opening hand with the two cards you receive.

Do they add up to 21? If they do, you've got a blackjack.

If they add up to a number less than 21, you can opt for an extra card that gets you closer to it.

If you don't want another card, hit Stand.

The dealer must draw another card if their opening hand is 16 or less.

If it's 17 or greater, they have to stand.

Should you and the dealer's hands end up with the same value, the game is a push and you get back your stake.

Split 

You can split your opening hand if the two cards you receive are the same value. 

This will create two separate hands.

If your cards are two Aces, it's not possible to get a blackjack with either hand.

You may split hands up to three times, but you may only split a pair of Aces once. 

Double Down 

With the Double Down option, you can double your original stake.

If you choose this option, you'll receive one additional card.

This card may be dealt facing up or facing down.

Insurance 

You have the option to buy insurance if you think the dealer has a blackjack.

This can happen when their first card is an Ace.

To buy insurance, it will cost half your original stake.

You lose your wager if the dealer does have a blackjack, but if not, you lose your insurance bet before the hand continues. 

Surrender 

Choose the Surrender option to give up a hand once you receive it.

This costs half your original stake.
