Blackjack Professional Series High Limit

Black Jack Professional Series Game Rules

Cards

• Black Jack Professional Series is played with 4 standard decks of 52 cards (Jokers not included).
• Number cards, 2-10, count as face value. Face cards, kings, queens and jacks, are equal in value to 10 and aces are valued at either 1 or 11.
• No particular significance is given to any of the 4 suits.
• Play takes place against a computerized dealer. The dealer is dealt two cards, and the player is dealt two cards in each box.
• The player's cards are dealt face up, while only the dealer's first card is shown.
• A player can choose an additional card by clicking Hit.
• A player may repeat this as many times as he likes so long as the total of his cards does not exceed 21.
• If the total surpasses 21, it is considered a "bust" and the player automatically loses.
• Once a player is satisfied with the cards he is holding, he should click Stand.
• This is repeated for all the boxes the player is playing.
• After the player is finished, it is the dealer's turn to reveal his face down card and decide whether he would like to take another card.
• The dealer must have cards totaling 17 or more.
• Once the dealer is satisfied with the cards he is holding, the winner is decided.
• If the value of the player's card is greater than the dealer's, or if the dealer busts then the player is the winner.
• If the player's card total is the same as the dealer it is considered a "push" and the player gets to keep his bet.
• The cards are re-shuffled for each game round.

Note: To view the Paytable, move the pointer over the Min/Max sign.

Double Jack™ side bet

Note: Some Casinos operate Black Jack Professional Series without the Double Jack™ side bet.

In this case you will be unable to place a Double Jack™ bet and the following instructions do not apply.

• Players can place a Double Jack™ side bet as part of the regular backjack game.
• Double Jack™ bets must be placed after a regular blackjack bet and before any cards have been dealt.
• It cannot be changed or withdrawn after the first card has been dealt.
• The maximum side bet that can be placed is equal to the regular blackjack bet.
• A Double Jack™ bet wins if the first card in the regular blackjack hand is a jack, or if the first two cards in the regular Blackjack hand is a pair of jacks.
• A Double Jack™ bet is lost if the first card in the regular blackjack hand is not a jack.
• The Double Jack™ side bet is settled before the regular blackjack game continues.

Blackjack

• If a 10-value card, i.e. the number 10 card of any suit or a king, queen or jack, plus an ace is initially dealt in any hand, it is considered Blackjack.
• The player wins 1.5 times his bet when he is dealt a Blackjack.
• The player automatically loses if the dealer is dealt a Blackjack.
• If both are dealt a Blackjack it is considered a push and the player gets his bet back.

Note: The player does not lose the Double Jack™ side bet if the dealer is dealt a Blackjack.

Insurance

• If the visible card of the dealer is an ace, the player may buy "insurance" by betting and additional 0.5 times his initial bet.
• If the dealer then gets Blackjack, the player will win 2 times his insurance bet.
• If the dealer does not get Blackjack, then the player loses his insurance bet and the outcome of his initial bet is determined by the total of the cards he is holding vs. the dealer's cards.

Even Money

• If the visible card of the dealer is an ace and the player has Blackjack, the player is offered even money and wins 1 times his bet.

Splitting

• If a player is dealt two cards of the same value (including two of the same face cards), he is entitled to "split" the cards and double his initial bet.
• Only one split is allowed
• He will now be playing two hands of Blackjack, one at a time.
• The first hand is dealt a second card.
• The player must decide whether he would like to Stand or take another card by clicking Hit.
• Once the player has finished the first hand, he must move onto the second, repeating the same process.
• After the player is satisfied with both hands it is the dealer's turn.
• The dealer will now reveal his other card and take additional cards until he has a total of 17 or more.

Note: The player cannot hit on split Aces. The dealer deals a second card only for each hand.

Double

• The player may double his bet after viewing his initial two cards.
