Live Blackjack Rules

Experience Live Blackjack at Genting Casino

To play live blackjack you need to know how to play. Blackjack is a game of cards where the aim is to achieve a higher card value than the dealer without going over 21. Going over 21 is known as going ‘bust’. In the case of achieving an equal hand value to the dealer the prize will be ‘pushed’ which means no one wins or loses and instead the wager carries over to the next game. In live blackjack online card values are as follows:

  • Numbers 2 through 9: Have face value
  • Numbers 10, Jack, Queen, and King: Have a value of 10
  • Ace: Can be high or low with a value of either 1 or 11. These values are known as being hard or soft.

The dealer also has set rules they must adhere to. When all player hands have been dealt (initially 2 cards), the dealer will turn over their face down card and will draw additional cards according to the house rules.The most common house rules are as follows:

  • Dealer stands on all values of 17
  • Dealer stands on hard 17 but hits on soft 17

Achieving a value of 21 on your first two cards is known as a ‘Blackjack’, as long as the dealer hasn’t achieved this too the player most commonly will be given a payout of 3:2.

Live Blackjack Terms

Hit

When a player declares ‘hit’ they are asking for the dealer to draw them another card. Players can hit as many times as they like until they decide to stand or go bust.

Double Down

This can only occur after the initial 2-card deal. Players can choose to double down, which means their stake is doubled, and only one more card will be drawn.

Stand

The player sticks with what they’ve been dealt and no further cards are drawn.

Split

This most commonly occurs in blackjack games which use more than one deck of cards. If a player draws a pair of cards they can choose to split their hand and play two separate hands at once. Players will need to make an additional wager for the extra hand.

Insurance

Taking insurance can only occur when the dealer's face up card is an ace. This is a form of side bet which wagers 2:1 on the likelihood of the dealer achieving a blackjack. Whether or not you choose this option, the initial hand will still be played out.

Surrender

Surrendering isn’t featured in many live dealer blackjack games, but some variants do incorporate this feature. When a player surrenders they fold their cards and only pay a portion of their wager.
