Free Bet Blackjack
Free Bet Blackjack lets you double down and split for free. When you choose a free bet option, the Dealer will place a special lammer next to your original wager. If you win the hand, you’ll be paid as if you had made a traditional split or double even though you didn’t place an additional bet.
GETTING STARTED
Make a bet to play against the Dealer. You and the Dealer will each get two starting cards as in standard Blackjack.
FREE SPLIT
You may free split any pairs, except for 10-value cards. Free re-splitting is also allowed.
FREE DOUBLE
You may free double any two-card hard count of 9, 10 or 11. Free doubling after splitting is allowed when the above doubling rule is followed.
PUSH 22
If the Dealer busts with a point total of 22, any bets left in action are pushes and the Push 22 side bet wins. If the Dealer’s final point total is anything other than 22, the Push 22 side bet loses.
Note: Player blackjacks are paid before the Dealer hits out his or her hand and are exempt from the Push 22 rule.
BLACKJACK TERMS
DOUBLING DOWN
If on the first two cards, the Player feels they can win with only one more card, they may double their bet. Remember, they get only one more card.
SPLITTING PAIRS
An option the Player has with two original cards of the same numeric value (4s, 8s, etc). They can split the two cards and play each hand individually. They must bet the same amount as their original wager on the split hand. They may also ?double down? on the first two cards of each hand after the split, except when splitting aces. The Player can split up to three times to make four hands.
INSURANCE
If the Dealer's "up card" is an Ace, the Player can take insurance. They're betting that the Dealer has a ten-value card in the "hole," making Blackjack. The Player can bet one half of their original wager. A winning insurance bet pays 2 to 1.
PUSH
A tie between the Player and the Dealer. Neither hand wins.
HAND SIGNALS
Non-verbal communication between the Player and the Dealer to indicate "hit" or "stand." Ask the Dealer for the proper signals.
These simple key rules will help you play:
1. If your total is closer to 21 than the Dealer's, you win.
2. If you "hit" and your total is more than 21, you lose.
3. If you and the Dealer have the same total, it is a tie.
Don't hesitate to ask your friendly Dealer if you have questions.
