Atlantic City Blackjack

About the Atlantic City Blackjack Game

You receive two cards – these form your initial hand. 

If they add up to 21, you’ve got a blackjack. 

If they add up to less than 21, you can choose whether to receive another card to get closer to it. 

Select Stand and you’ll not receive any more cards. 

If the dealer’s hand is 16 or less, they must draw another card. 

If it’s 17 or greater, they must stand. 

If you and the dealer end up with the same hand, it’s considered a push and you’ll get your stake back. 

Split 

If your first two cards are equal in value, you can split them to create two separate hands. 

If you choose to split two Aces, you won’t get a blackjack on either hand. 

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

Double Down 

Double your original stake with Double Down. You’ll receive one extra card. 

This card may be dealt facing up or facing down. 

Insurance 

Buy insurance if you think there’s a chance that the dealer will have a blackjack. This may happen when their first card is an Ace. 

It costs half your original stake to buy insurance. 

If the dealer does end up getting a blackjack, you’ll lose your original wager. If they don’t, you’ll lose your insurance bet before the hand carries on as usual. 

Surrender 

Abandon a hand once you receive it by choosing to surrender. This will cost half your original wager.
