Point Values

To Play

  2. Click Deal
  3. Click Hit, Stand, Double, or Split
  4. Continue to click Hit until you Stand, Double, bust, push, or until the dealer busts

Doubling – You can only Double once in European Blackjack with hard values of 9 – 11.

Splitting – You can split the first two cards dealt if they are of equal point value. When you split, you must place an additional bet that is equal to the ante. You will now have two hands. You can continue to hit for each hand, unless the split was made for a pair of Aces, in which case you can only hit once for each hand.
