Atlantic City Blackjack
Atlantic City Blackjack is played with eight standard decks of 52 playing
cards that are shuffled before each game.
The aim is to beat the Dealer's hand by either getting
a higher value hand, without exceeding 21, or by the Dealer's hand going
bust. In Atlantic City Blackjack, you can only bet one hand at a time.
Blackjack is when your hand contains an Ace and a card with a value of
ten. It is the strongest hand in Atlantic City Blackjack, and automatically
Stands. It cannot be beaten, only matched.
To play a game of Atlantic City Blackjack, do the following:
1. Click the Chip Selector Increase (+) and Decrease (-) buttons to select
the chip size you want to bet.
Left-click the center betting circle in the play area to select the number
of chips you want to bet.
Note:

Left-click the betting circle. The chip pile increases by one.
To reduce or remove a bet, do the following:
Right-click the bet you want to reduce or remove. The chip pile decreases

2. Click the Deal button. A hand of two cards is dealt to you. The Dealer
is dealt two cards, one card face-up and one card face-down.
Depending on the cards you are dealt and the game Rules, different betting
options are available. You can perform more than one option, or repeat
one option, depending on the stage of the game. The betting options are:
Hit
Click the Hit button. You are dealt one card.
Example:
Use the Hit option if you want the Dealer to deal you another card from
the deck.
Stand
Click the Stand button. This ends the play of this hand.
Example:
Use the Stand option if you do not want to receive more cards and want
to end the game.
Split
Click the Split button. Your hand is divided into two separate hands and
a new card is dealt to each hand. You can Split a maximum number of 3
times per game, equaling 4 hands.
Note:
This rule excludes Aces. Aces are only Split once.
Example:
Use the Split option if you are dealt two cards with the same Denomination
or Value, such as a Queen and a Ten, or two Fours. You can Split them
into two separate hands.
Double Down
Click the Double button. A side bet equal to your original bet is placed
on the table. You are dealt one card and your hand automatically Stands.
Example:
Use the Double Down option on any two cards. You can place a side bet
that your hand will beat the Dealer’s hand. Only one more card is
dealt.
Take Insurance
Click the Insurance button. An Insurance bet, equal to half your original
bet, is placed on the table.
Example:
Use the Insurance option if the Dealer’s first card is an Ace. You
take Insurance against the Dealer getting a Blackjack.
Late Surrender
Clicking the Surrender button enables you to give up half your original
bet amount for the privilege of not playing out a hand.
Example:
Use the Surrender option if you think you are going to lose the hand.
Note:
If a button is gray, that option is not available according to the game
Rules.
3. Once you have completed your betting options, your hand and the Dealer’s
hand are compared. The hand with the highest value wins and any winnings
are paid out.
