How it works
- Get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. Picture cards count 10, an ace 1 or 11.
- Hit to take a card, stand to keep what you have. Double down doubles the bet for exactly 1 more card.
- Split a pair of the same rank into 2 hands, up to 4, each with a bet the same as the first. Split aces get 1 card each.
- The dealer checks for blackjack under an ace or a 10, draws to 16 and stands on every 17. Blackjack pays 3 to 2, a win 1 to 1, and a tie gives the bet back.
- The chips are pretend and shared by every casino game here. A fresh 1,000 is free when you run out.

The table rules
6 decks go in the shoe, and it is reshuffled once fewer than 78 cards are left, the way a cut card works. The dealer checks for blackjack under an ace or a 10 before you act, so a double or a split is never lost to a blackjack that was already there. Doubling is allowed on any first 2 cards, after a split too. Split aces take 1 card each and stop, and 21 on a split hand pays 1 to 1 rather than 3 to 2.
Insurance is a side bet
When the dealer shows an ace you are offered insurance for half your bet. It pays 2 to 1 if the hole card is a 10, and a 10 is under that ace a little less than 1 time in 3. Over time it loses, whatever your own hand is. The option is here because the real table has it; basic strategy says no.
