Blackjack
Super 7's
Blackjack Super 7
is a variation of the most popular casino card game
in the world. The name Blackjack arose when an American
casino decided to popularise the game by paying a
bonus to any player holding the ace of spades and
either the jack of clubs or jack of spades. The object
of the game is simple – obtain a total card count
higher than that of the dealer without exceeding 21.

Rules
Blackjack Super 7's
uses a six deck shoe.
The face cards - jack,
queen and king, all have a value of 10, aces count
as either 1 or 11, and the remaining cards are worth
their face value.
If your hand exceeds
21, you bust
and automatically lose the hand. If you have the same
card total as the dealer, from 17 and up, no one wins
and you get your wager back in a push.
The dealer must stand
on 17 and above and draw on 16 and below.
If the dealer's face-up
card is an ace, you will be asked if you wish to buy
insurance.
The Super 7 bet lets
you shoot for the big win while playing up to three
hands of Blackjack at a time. The minimum Super 7
wager is $1 and the maximum is $10.

Definition |
| Bust |
A hand in blackjack that
goes over 21. If you bust you lose. |
| Double |
Allows you to double your
initial wager. The bet is placed after the first
two cards are dealt. Only double your bet when
you are reasonably sure you will only need one
more card to win. Your bet will be placed automatically
and you will be dealt one last card. Your hand
will always consist of only three cards when
doubling. Also known as doubling down. |
| Face-up card |
The card in the dealer's
hand that is face up for you to see before you
play your hand. Also known as open card or up
card. |
| Hard hand |
Any hand that does not contain
an ace or a hand that contains one or more aces
that count as only one point. |
| Hit |
To ask the dealer for another
card. |
| Insurance |
A side bet that equals
half of the original wager. Insurance gives
you a chance to protect yourself from the
dealer's Blackjack.
If the dealer's card is
an ace, there is the possibility of blackjack.
When this happens you will be asked whether
you would like to buy insurance. If you believe
the dealer has blackjack, you can buy insurance
to protect yourself. If the dealer gets blackjack,
the insurance will pay 2:1, which equals your
original bet. If you have insured yourself
and the dealer does not obtain blackjack,
then you lose your insurance but retain your
original wager. |
| Natural |
A two-card hand of 21 points,
sometimes referred to as blackjack. |
| Push |
A tie hand between you and
the dealer, occurs when you and the dealer have
unbusted hands with the same total points. |
| Soft
hand |
Any hand that contains an
ace that can be counted as 11. For example,
an ace and a 6 is called a soft 17. |
| Split |
If you are dealt two cards
of identical value you can split them into two
new hands of one card each. Each hand would
then be played out in turn. You may only split
a hand once. The wager placed on each new hand
will be equal to the original bet. You may double
down on one or both of the new hands. When aces
are split, only one card will be dealt to each
hand. A split hand resulting in blackjack pays
out a ratio of 1:1 rather than the normal 3:2.
|
| Stand |
Stand is to be satisfied
with your hand and refuse another card. |
