To learn the basic rules of blackjack go here.

In this version we use 2 decks, the dealer hits soft 17 and neither insurance nor surrender is supported. This version allows you to split 3 times (except for aces) and does allow doubling down after splitting.

When you want to start a hand use the up and own arrows if you want to change the amount of the bet and then click 'DEAL'. Click the tokens that appear above the player's hand (bottom of screen) to play the hand - 'H' to hit, 'S' to stand, 'D' to double down and 'P' to split a pair.

This version of the game has a built-in understanding of the Basic Strategy. It will sound a beep whenever you make a choice that violates the strategy. You can use this feature to learn or practice the strategy or you can turn it off by clicking the volume control in the lower-right corner.

Good Luck!
