Megaways Casino offers several Blackjack game versions that you can enjoy. Here, we will provide a brief overview of the different versions available and Blackjack rules that highlights ways on how to play Blackjack.
1. Classic Blackjack: This is the most popular version of Blackjack, also known as 21. The objective is to have a hand value closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand without exceeding that number. At Megaways Casino, you will find Classic Blackjack with various betting ranges to suit your preferences.
2. European Blackjack: This variant is similar to Classic Blackjack. The main difference is that the dealer only receives one face-up card initially. This gives players a slight advantage as they can make more informed decisions based on the dealer’s revealed card.
3. Atlantic City Blackjack: In this version, eight decks of cards are used, and the dealer must stand on a soft 17. Players have the option to surrender their hand, doubling down on any first two cards, and splitting up to three times.
4. Vegas Strip Blackjack: This variant is commonly found in Las Vegas casinos. It is played with four decks of cards, and the dealer must stand on a soft 17. Players can split their hand up to three times and can also double down on any two cards.
5. Live Blackjack: Megaways Casino also offers Live Blackjack, where you can play against real dealers in a live streaming environment. This version provides an immersive and interactive casino experience from the comfort of your own home.
Now, let’s look at how to play Blackjack:
1. Place Your Bet: Choose the amount you want to wager by selecting the chips with the desired value and placing them in the designated betting area.
2. Receive Cards: You and the dealer will be dealt two cards each. In Classic Blackjack, both of your cards are face-up, while the dealer’s second card remains hidden (face-down).
3. Calculate Hand Value: Add up the values of your cards. Number cards have their face value, face cards (J, Q, K) are worth 10, and an Ace can be counted as either 1 or 11, depending on what benefits your hand more.
4. Make Your Move: You have a few options to choose from:
– Hit: Request an additional card to increase your hand value.
– Stand: Decide not to take any more cards and keep your current hand.
– Double Down: Double your initial bet and receive one more card before standing.
– Split: If you have a pair, you can choose to split the cards into two separate hands and double your initial bet. Each hand will be played individually.
– Surrender: In some versions, you may have the option to surrender and forfeit half of your bet before the dealer checks for Blackjack.
5. Dealer’s Turn: After all players have made their moves, the dealer reveals their second card. If their hand value is 16 or less, they must hit again. If their hand value is 17 or more, they must stand.
6. Compare Hands: If the dealer busts (i.e., their hand value exceeds 21), all players who haven’t bust win. If neither the player nor the dealer busts, the hand with a value closer to 21 wins. If the player and dealer have the same hand value, it is a push, and the player gets their bet back.
Remember, the objective of Blackjack is to have fun, so make sure to gamble responsibly and enjoy your time at Megaways Casino!
