How to Play Blackjack

Learn how to play Blackjack, a skill-based card game where you compete against the dealer to get closest to 21

Updated over a week ago

Overview

Blackjack is a classic card game where you compete against the dealer to get as close to 21 as possible without going over. Hit, stand, double down, or split your way to victory. Unlike live dealer blackjack, there’s no time pressure and no risk of disconnections - play at your own pace knowing every result is provably fair.

How It Works

The Goal

  • Beat the dealer’s hand without exceeding 21

  • Going over 21 = bust, you lose

  • If both you and the dealer have natural blackjack, it’s a push (tie)

Card Values

  • Number cards (2-10): Face value

  • Face cards (J, Q, K): 10

  • Ace: 1 or 11 (whichever benefits you)

How to Play

  1. Navigate to Originals from the sidebar

  2. Select Blackjack

  3. Set your bet amount - type it in, use the half/double buttons, or click the chips to add to your bet for a casino-style experience

  4. To place side bets (Perfect Pairs, 21+3), click the side bet text box and set your amount the same way

  5. Click Bet - cards are dealt one by one (player, dealer, player, dealer)

  6. Choose your action (Hit, Stand, Double, Split)

  7. Dealer plays after you finish

  8. Closest to 21 wins

You can also enable the max bet button in your settings.

Side Bets

You can place side bets alongside your main Blackjack bet. Side bets are settled on their own - you can win a side bet even if you lose your main hand, and the other way around.

Perfect Pairs - Pays out if your first two cards are any pair, like two Kings, two 7s, or two Aces. There are three types of pairs:

  • Perfect Pair (25:1) - Same value and same suit, e.g. two Aces of Spades

  • Colored Pair (12:1) - Same value, different suits but same color, e.g. 10 of Diamonds + 10 of Hearts

  • Mixed Pair (6:1) - Same value, different suits and different colors, e.g. 5 of Hearts + 5 of Clubs

21+3 - Pays out based on your first two cards combined with the dealer’s upcard. Works similar to poker hands:

  • Suited Trips (100:1) - Three identical cards, e.g. 3x Aces of Diamonds

  • Straight Flush (40:1) - Three in a row, same suit, e.g. 6, 7 and 8 of Spades

  • Three of a Kind (30:1) - Same value, different suits, e.g. any three non-matching Jacks

  • Straight (10:1) - Three in a row, different suits, e.g. 5 of Diamonds, 6 of Hearts and 7 of Spades

  • Flush (5:1) - Same suit but not in sequence, e.g. 6, 9 and King of Spades

Game Rules

Dealer Rules

  • Hits on 16 or less

  • Stands on soft 17

  • No decisions - plays automatically after you

  • If the dealer has natural blackjack, the game ends immediately and insurance is paid if taken

Doubling

  • You can double on any first two cards

  • You can double after a split

  • If you don’t have enough balance to double, you can deposit mid-hand - your bet will still be there when you come back

Splitting

  • You can only split once

  • You cannot hit on split aces

Other

  • Infinite deck in play - each draw is independent

  • If both you and the dealer have natural blackjack, the result is a push

Provably Fair

Every Blackjack hand is provably fair. Cards are determined before dealing using server seeds, client seeds, and nonces.

The game uses an infinite deck - each card is drawn independently. Learn more about Provably Fair Gaming.
