Tell me more about the Blackjack game?
Short Description:
In the Want a bet Blackjack
game you are competing against a dealer (the house) along with other
participating players (up to three). Our game is unique in that, just
like a real casino, you may choose to play with other live players. We
feature both private and public tables. On a public table there are up
to three players simultaneously. On a private table you may choose to
play alone or with players of your choice - up to three players! All
players wishing to play at the same table must enter the same
"group name" in the "group table" field.
The players and the dealer
are each dealt two cards with the goal of reaching 21 without going
over. The player may draw as many cards as he/she wants until reaching
21. If the player draws a card that puts him/her over 21 (which is
called a "bust"), he/she loses the hand. A winning hand adds
up to more than the dealer's hand without "busting".
Playing Blackjack &
Rules:
Our Blackjack game has a
dealer and one to three players (as described above). The dealer deals
from a shoe containing six decks of playing cards. Before the deal
begins, the players place their bets by double clicking on either the $1
chip, $10 chip or the $50 chip to reach the desired bet. After deciding
on the desired bet the player must click the "Continue" button
to proceed with the hand. The round must begin after all participating
players have laid their bets and have clicked the "Continue"
button.
Once the deal begins the
bets may not be changed. During the course of the hand players may add
to their bets through double downs, splits, and insurance. After the
cards are dealt, the dealer will ask each player, what action he/she
wishes to take. Buttons located on the lower left side of the screen
will appear in order to facilitate betting. For example, if it is
possible to split two cards a button will appear to allow the player to
split the cards. The player simply clicks on the "Split"
button to facilitate the splitting of the cards.
The minimum initial bet is
$1 and the maximum initial bet is $50. Each player receives two cards
face up and the dealer receives one card face up. The player may request
as many cards until he/she busts out. If a player is dealt Black Jack,
which is a 10 or face card along with an Ace, he/she immediately gets
paid 1.5 times the placed bet unless the dealer also has Blackjack in
which case it is a "push" (you neither win nor lose your bet).
After all the players' bets
are completed, the dealer completes his hand. If the dealer has sixteen
or less, he must draw a card (hit), until he reaches seventeen or more.
If the dealer's card total exceeds 21 (bust), he must pay all players
still in the game.
Notes:
· Should a player fail to
place a bet within the set default time, the hand will continue without
his/her participation.
· Should a player fail to
click the "continue" button within the set default time,
he/she will automatically be dealt two cards and the hand will continue.
· In case of failure to click
the "continue" button due to disconnection, the disconnection
rules shall apply.

amount of the payoff depends on how the bet was placed.

same table found in casinos around the world. Our Roulette table is
marked with the numbers "0" and "1-36" (we do not

black with "0" colored green. The player begins play by

What happens if I am suddenly disconnected from your casino?
Unfortunately, sudden
disconnection may occur on the Internet due to communication
problems. We have designed our software to cope with such incidents
in a manner that will protect our clients from unjustifiable loss,
while eliminating the possibility of intentional disconnection and
system abuse.
For the specific rules
of disconnection for each game click: Blackjack,
Slots, Roulette, Video
Poker.
Blackjack:
If you are dealt twelve or
more and the connection is terminated before the hand is finished,
the play will continue, including your hand, which will be
considered a "stand". After you re-connect you will see if
you had won or lost the bet.
If you are dealt eleven or
less and the connection is terminated before the hand is finished,
the bet will be returned. Should a disconnection occur after a
"Split", both hands will be treated according to the
higher hand. For example: if the higher hand totals 12 or more, play
will continue with both hands, and after you re-connect you will see
if you had won or lost the bet. If the higher hand totals 11 or
less, the bet on both hands will be returned.
Slot Machine:
Should a disconnection
occur before pulling the lever but after a bet was placed, your bet
will be returned. Should a disconnection occur after a bet was
placed and the lever has been pulled, the play will continue. After
you reconnect you will see if you had won or lost the bet.
Roulette:
If you have already placed
a bet and the connection was terminated before the ball lands, the
play will continue. After you reconnect you will see if you had won
or lost the bet.
In some extreme cases
during very slow communication, the roulette wheel may show the
previous result, while on the top of your screen there will appear a
different result. The correct result is the one appearing on the top
of your screen.
Video Poker:
Should a disconnection
occur after the player has placed money in his credit box, but
before selecting the amount of coins desired for the next round, the
money will be returned to the bankroll .
Should a disconnection
occur after the player placed a bet but before clicking the
"deal/draw" button, the bet will be returned to the
bankroll.
Should a disconnection
occur after the player clicked on the "deal/draw" button,
but before the player had a chance to select the cards to be held,
the round will be considered as if the player had selected to hold
all the cards. If that hand presented a winning combination, the
player's bankroll will be adjusted accordingly.
