Blackjack

How to Play

---

• Each player places a bet in the betting areas marked on the layout. All Players receive two cards and the Dealer one.
• The Players are asked in turn whether they wish to ‘draw’ another card or ‘stay’ with the total they have.
• Once all Players have finished the Dealer draws cards to their hand.
• The Dealer must draw a card if they have 16 or less. When the Dealer’s hand reaches a total of 17 or more they cannot draw another card.
• All winning bets are paid even money with the exception of any Blackjacks.

Splitting

When the first two cards dealt to your hand are a pair you may split them to create two separate hands, by placing an additional stake equal to the original bet.

Perfect Pair

---

Perfect pairs is an exciting new feature on Blackjack giving you the option to place an extra bet that your first two cards will be either a Perfect Pair (30-1), a Coloured Pair (10-1) or a Mixed Pair (5-1).

PERFECT PAIRS PROGRESSIVE

---

Perfect Pairs Progressive Blackjack is an addition to the standard Blackjack game. The layout will include a table chip sensor located the dealers side of each playing position available on the table.

To play the progressive side of the game the player must place the relevant stake (either £1 or £5) on the light sensor. This must be accompanied by a standard wager on the corresponding Blackjack box.

Only the player controlling the box can take part in the progressive game.

All players that decide to participate in the progressive game are eligible to win prizes from the jackpot meter.

Event Based Prizes

Event based prizes are concerned with the first two cards dealt to the player and for three of a kind hands this will include the dealer’s initial up card. If a qualifying hand is made, then the player will win the prize associated with that hand.
