How to Play

  • Select the value of your chips. The currency will reflect the currency of your account. To select a chip value, simply click on the chip of the value you require on the edge of the table. The following chip values are available: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 25, 100 and 250. By default the red 5 chip is selected.
  • To make your selection, click on the area of the table of your choice. Every click will place on the table a chip of the value you selected. Different chip values may be used on different bets by selecting a different chip value after each bet. For details on all bet controls available, see 'Game Controls'.

    Each betting spot on the table is a separate bet.

  • Once you are happy with your selection, click on Deal and your bet will be placed.

The Banker (dealer) deals one card face down to each active betting spot, then one to himself.

  1. Player Hand Play
    For each of your hands, you may Hit and / or Stand.
    If your hand Bust's, it will be marked accordingly.
  2. Dealer Hand Play
    Once you have finished playing your hands, the Banker's unseen card is turned over.
    • If all your hands have Bust, the game ends.
      Otherwise the Banker may Hit and/or Stand.

Once the Banker's hand has been played, the result of each of your hands is determined and any winnings are shown on the table.
