Goal and card values
One to four players face the dealer. Get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. Cards 2–10 count their value, face cards count 10 and an ace counts 1 or 11, whichever helps your hand. Six decks are used. Chips measure the game's result.
Betting and decisions
Choose a stake in steps of 10, from 10 up to your available chips. You receive two cards and one dealer card stays hidden. Hit adds a card; Stand ends that hand's drawing. Going over 21 immediately loses the hand. At 21, the engine ends it automatically.
Double and split
With two cards and enough chips, double your stake to receive exactly one final card. Two equal-value cards can be split into separate hands by paying another stake, up to four hands. Tens and face cards have equal value for splitting. Split aces receive one card each and then stand. A split hand's 21 is ordinary 21, not a natural blackjack.
Insurance and dealer
When the dealer shows an ace, you may bet an extra half of the original stake on dealer blackjack. Insurance profits 2:1 if the dealer has blackjack and loses otherwise. After players act, the dealer draws to at least 17 and stands on soft 17, including an ace valued at 11.
Payouts and finish
An ordinary winning hand profits the stake. A natural two-card blackjack, without splitting, profits 3:2. A tie returns the stake; dealer blackjack ties only with a player's natural blackjack. After the selected rounds, the highest chip total wins. For one player, finishing above the starting stack wins, equality draws and a lower stack loses. No bet in time sits the round out — no cards and nothing lost. A later timeout declines insurance or stands, depending on the stage.
Leaving a match
A departing player forfeits. Remaining players keep their cards and chips. Even one remaining player can finish the scheduled rounds against the dealer; being the last player does not end the match.
