Free Bet Blackjack

The Free Bet BlackJack is played always between a dealer and a group of players. The object of the game is to beat the dealer (not the other players) with a hand of cards that does not go over 21. Free Bet BlackJack can be played with a single deck or multiple decks.

Introduction

How to Win

The object of the game is to score closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand without going over 21. This is very important, as any hands that surpass 21 will automatically be considered “Too many” (BUST).

You “beat” Dealer’s hand if he/she:

Gets 21 points on his/her first two cards (called a BlackJack), when the dealer’s hand is not a Blackjack.
Reaches a final score higher than the dealer without exceeding 21.

The initial point on a hand is calculated by summing the value of two initial cards.

Game Play:

In our Live Casino, the Free Bet Blackjack is played with 8 decks of 52 cards.
Aces count equals either 1 or 11, the player’s choice.
Face cards count as 10. All other cards count as their face value.
The same points result Push (except Blackjack with initial 2 cards and 21 points)
Once all bets have been placed, the Dealer deals from a card Shoe one card face up to every player and himself/herself. Then the dealer takes the second card, face up to every player and the second card face down (hole card) to himself/herself.
Once the initial deal has been completed, the dealer then is moving from box 1 to box 7 clockwise from the dealer. Each player decides whether to take a card from the dealer or not. The decisions players make are highlighted immediately.
While you are sitting at a particular Free Bet BlackJack table and placing a bet equal to or greater than a minimum required to bet, he/she can see a “Deal Now” button in front of him on the progress bar. You might wish to click this button so that to finalize the bet he/she has just placed. From this very moment, the player’s bet becomes visible to other players around the table. The round begins when all players have clicked on the Deal Now button, or betting time has expired itself.

Participation Instructions

Bets are placed, removed, changed only during the betting time. Once the betting time is over the Dealer announces “No more bets” and no bets can be placed since.
Once the dealer has completed with all the players’ hands as per they instructed and the last box with a placed bet on, they must uncover their face-down card and draw other cards due to the rule: “Dealer must draw to 16 and stand on all 17's”. It means that the Dealer has to draw cards if the total is less than 17. The Dealer must stay put if the total on their hand is 17 (including “Soft” 17) and higher. Then this will be the total the players have to beat to win the hand.
Once the Dealer has dealt with their own cards and the game is finished the Dealer then must collect all the cards on the table and open bets for the next game.
The player’s total win in the last played hand will be displayed in the window “Last win”. ● On the next Round, you can “Rebet” (place the same bet as in the previous game), “Double” (place your next bet doubled respect to the last game bet), or place any other amount by choosing different chips and clicking once or more time on the betting area. ● If you change your mind you can “Undo” your last step in placing bets or “Clear” your entire bet on the box.

The following are the choices available to the player:

Hit: The player draws another card (and more if he wishes). If this card causes the player's total points to exceed 21 (known as “Too many”) then he loses his stake.
Stand: The player stands pat with his cards. If the player does not choose an option, after the betting time is over then this is considered as he stands.
Double: Doubling is a one-off move that can be statistically favorable, based on your first two cards. It involves doubling your wagering return for being dealt with one single additional card. After doubling, the player must stand and the game either moves to the next player or the dealer takes its turn.
Free Double: Free double is offered only if the initial 2 cards have a total of 9,10,11 points (in all other cases a standard duplication is offered).
Split: If the player has a pair or any two 10-point cards, then he may double his bet and separate his cards into two individual hands. The dealer automatically adds the second card. Then, the player may hit, stand, or double normally (the player can also use free double according to the "Free Double" rule). However, when splitting Aces, each Ace gets only one card. If the player gets a Ten and Ace is after splitting, then it counts as 21 points, not a BlackJack!
Free Split: Free Split is provided on all pairs of the initial 2 playing cards, except for 10, J, Q, K playing cards. In the case of a free split, the initial bet remains on the left box of the split hand. On the second box, an amount equal to the initial bet is added by the Dealer.
If your first two cards are an Ace and a Ten, Jack, Queen, or King, your hand constitutes a BlackJack and only a BlackJack from the dealer may stop you from winning! You can’t choose another option.

Bet Options and Payouts

a) Bet Behind Bet: Bet Behind bet allows players to make a bet on another players’ hand win whether they are waiting for a seat or playing at the table. If you place the Bet Behind bet in favor of another player’s hand and he/she wins this round then you automatically win your Bet Behind bet on behalf of yourself. The payouts for Bet Behind wagers are the same as for ordinary bets.
You can place the Bet Behind bet even if you have no seat at the Free Bet BlackJack table, or do not intend to play your own hand. However, you cannot place a Bet Behind bet on your own hand. Place a bet in any activated Bet Behind box at another player’s hand while betting time is still open.
If you place a Bet Behind bet, and the player at that seat quits the game (that is, declined all bets or left the table), your bet is refunded at once.
In spite, you have made Bet Behind all the moves on that box are still made by the player that box owner.
However, when you see the dealer’s open card is an Ace, you may decide whether to place or not an insurance bet. You can also choose in advance from settings whether to double or not or split your bet when the player you have placed Bet Behind on selects Double or Split functions. If you activate these features from the settings section beforehand, the Double and Split will occur automatically during the round (the Double function will work if you have enough balance on your account. If you do not have enough balance but you have activated this function, anyway your Bet Behind bet will not be doubled: the function will be considered as inactive).

b) Side Bets
In our Free Bet BlackJack, we have created 3 main Side Bets: Perfect Pair, Honey Bonus, Lucky 7 and Lucky Bet.
To vivify the Free Bet BlackJack game, we have created four Side Bets additionally: Perfect Pair,3 Card Bonus, 4 Card Bonus, and 21+3. These bets can be placed only during the betting time and if the main bet was already placed.
The Perfect Pair, Honey side bet, and 21+3 win are shown as soon as the player accepts the two initial cards.
The Lucky 7 side bet is calculated based on a result of the game.

The Perfect Pair side bet allows the player to win bonus money if their two first cards make a pair.

A winning Perfect Pair hand is not affected by the dealer’s hand.

Hand:	Combination:	Payout:
Perfect Pair	an identical pair	25:1
Mixed Pair	2 cards of different suits 2 cards of different suits 1 red suited card and 1 black suited card	12:1, 5:1

Honey Bonus

Honey Bonus is a side-bet, which is based on a 3-card hand using the dealer’s one (1) up-card and the player’s two (2) initial upcards to form a 3-card poker hand. Also, two player`s initial cards can be used to form a Suited BlackJack combination. This game sees two of the most popular casino card games merged into one (BlackJack and Poker)! It allows players a chance to win if their first cards plus the dealer’s open card comprise any of the following winning combinations (like in poker), each with a different payout (odds):

Hand:	Combination:	Payout:
Three of a kind	Three cards of the same rank	20:1

Lucky 7

Lucky 7 is a side-bet, which is winning if the first player card is a seven, and up from there, depending on how many more sevens the player gets in a row, up to three, and whether they are suited. This side-bet can be placed also within the betting time and in case the player has got 7 sevens, it would be calculated only after the player takes the third card. If the player
has two sevens, and the dealer gets a BlackJack, then the player loses a chance to take the third card. A winning Perfect Pairs hand is not affected by the dealer’s hand.
The pay table below shows the odds for this side bet.

Hand:	Payout:
Three suited sevens	500:1
Three unsuited sevens	100:1
Two suited sevens	50:1
Two unsuited sevens	25:1
One seven	3:1

Lucky Bet

The new extra bet allows the player to win a certain amount of money if
1. The player has 19, 20, or 21 points and the Dealer has Blackjack.
2. The player has 19, or 20 and the Dealer has about 21(not Blackjack). In this case, the payout depends on the number of playing cards with which the dealer's hand has scored 21

Hand:	Payout:
21 Player points	2 playing cards
21 Player points	3 playing cards
21 Player points	4 playing cards
21 Player points	5 playing cards
21 Player points	6 playing cards
21 Player points	7 and more playing cards

Additionally, we have created Dealer Hand side bets, which are affected by the dealer’s hand. Players’ win depends on which combination of dealer’s cards appears.
21+3 side bet

We offer you a new side bet which calls "21+3". According to this side bet, you can win with an additional bet if your first two initial cards and the dealer's open card form one of these winning combinations (as in "Honey Bonus"). Each of these combinations has a different payout.

Suited Trips- Ex. The combination of three Queens of Heart
Straight Flush- is a combination of consecutive playing cards with the same suit. Ex. 10, Jack and Queen of Diamonds
Three of a Kind-It is considered to be a combination of playing cards with the same value but not the same suit. Ex. A combination of three Kings with different suits

Flush- non-consecutive playing cards of the same suit. Ex. 2,6, 10 of Clubs These new side bets are Perfect Pair, 3 Card Bonus, 4 Card Bonus.

Free Bet BlackJack ODDS

A “BlackJack” itself is a combination of an Ace and a court card or Ace and Ten with the first two cards. A BlackJack beats all other card combinations.
In the case of the BlackJack combination, the winner is paid 3:2.
In other cases, the player`s win is paid 1:1
Push – the player gets his money back.
If You have used the "Free Double" or "Free Split" opportunity, then:

In case of a your victory, the bet will be returned to you and you will be paid by 2:1 payout ● If the player loses, his initial bet is lost
If the dealer gets 22 points it will be a push for all the active players, except when the player has Blackjack.

Auto Stand Setting

Auto Stand is a setting, with the help of which you will have the opportunity to automatically stand when you have 17, 18, 19, or 20. You will be offered to choose the points. That is, if you choose 17, and get 17 or higher, the system will automatically select the Stand option, except for the soft hand and Split version.

“6 CARD CHARLIE” RULE

The 6-card Charlie is an extra rule, according to which a 6 card hand without busting is a winner. According to the "Six Card Charlie " rule, you automatically win if your "Hand" consists of six playing cards with a total value of 21 or not more than 21 points, even if the dealer has "Blackjack". In the case of a split "hand", each "hand" is calculated separately. In case the dealer gets Blackjack after you insure your hand against the dealer’s blackjack hand, "Six Card Charlie" will not be available, regardless of the player's result.

INSURANCE BET

An insurance bet is a special bet that you can place if the Dealer's first card is an Ace. This must be exactly half of the initial stake on the Player’s box and wins at odds 2 to 1 if the Dealer’s second card counts as Ten.
An additional betting time (15 sec.) is offered to all players(both for the player who places a bet on the additional markets and for the ones who place the main bet) to buy Insurance in case the Dealer has a Blackjack on his hand. On the screen of all the Players, a special box appears and every player either has to click YES if he/she wants to buy insurance for all his/her hands or choose NO if he/she does not.
After the additional betting time is over, the Dealer announces whether it is BlackJack or not. If it is BlackJack, the game is over. Insured hands are granted WIN status. If there is no BlackJack, the game continues normally and the Players lose their Insurance bets but still can win with their cards on the hand.
The feature only applies to the Players who have placed bets on additional markets. If the function is enabled and the Player who made the main bet decides to insure the hand, then the Player who bets on the additional market "insures" his hand too (if he has enough money at his balance). If the feature is not enabled, the Player who has placed a bet on the additional market is offered a Yes / No option, which allows you to ensure the best with all the other bets.

Free Bet BlackJack TERMS

Although the Free Bet BlackJack is not a quite complex game to play, there are dozens of different terms that are used in Free Bet BlackJack that you may not be familiar with. These Free Bet BlackJack terms appear again and again in writings about Blackjack, and you’ll also hear many of them when you are at the playcard table.

The following list features some of the most common (and most important) BlackJack terms that you will want to know before playing.

Bet: To place a bet, you must click on the chip value they wish to wager.
Bust: Occurs when the total value of cards for either the Dealer or the Player exceeds 21. If the Player busts the wager is lost. If the Dealer busts the Player automatically wins the wager. If both the Player and the
Dealer bust, the Player loses his stake.
Double: When the casino allows you the option to double down, it means you can double the amount of your initial bet in return for receiving one, and only one, draw a card; i.e., when you double down you give up the option of drawing more than one card. Doubling is possible in any case except the one when you are out of balance. Doubling is not suggested when you have hit once thus for the second step you already cannot double. The two variables that determine whether or not you should double down are the total of the cards in your hand and the dealer’s up-card. Generally, the hands you are most likely to double are 9 and 10.
Hit: Hitting means to ask for another card (sometimes referred to as “drawing another card”).
Insurance: You may be able to use the insurance option, if the Dealer’s shown card is an Ace. You pay an amount equal to half of your original bet and if the Dealer’s hand is a BlackJack, you win the Insurance bet and do not lose your original wager.
No more bets: Time for bets is over. The Dealer will start to deal cards to every hand with a stake on it.
Push: Occurs when the value of the Dealer's cards (from 17 to 21) and the Player's cards are equal resulting in neither winning. It also results in the return of the Player's wager.
Stand: Standing means you are satisfied with your hand and you do not want any more cards.
Soft hand: If a player holds an Ace valued as 11, the hand is called "soft", meaning that the player cannot go bust by taking an additional card.
