Making Bet

Before the deal begins, each player places a bet, in chips, in front of the table. Minimum and maximum limits are established on the betting, and the general limits are from 25 to 500.

Card Values

The numeral cards 2 to 10 have their face values, Jacks, Queens, and Kings are valued at 10, and Aces can have a value of either 1 or 11. The Ace is always valued at 11 unless that would result in the hand going over 21, in which case it is valued as 1.

Soft / Hard Hand

Any hand with an Ace valued as 11 is called a ‘soft’ hand. All other hands are ‘hard’ hands.

Insurance

If the dealer's face-up card is an ace, the player may look at their face-down card to see if the two cards make a Blackjack.

Blackjack

A starting hand of a 10 valued card and an Ace is called a Blackjack or natural and beats all hands other than another Blackjack.

If any player has a Blackjack and the dealer does not, the dealer immediately pays that player one and a half times the amount of their bet. [Blackjack 3:2]
If the dealer has a Blackjack, they immediately collect the bets of all players who do not have Blackjack, (but no additional amount).
If the dealer and another player both have Blackjack, the bet of that player is a stand-off (a push or tie), and the player takes back the chips, no chips are given or taken away.
