Tropicana Casino And Resort - BlackjackDealer must draw to 16, and stand on ALL 17's. In this game, everyone plays against the dealer's "hand". The dealer starts the game by dealing each player two cards from the dealing show, face up. The dealer's hand is dealt one card up and one card down. (The down card is called the "hole" card.) The dealer is not to look at the face of the "hole" card until all additional cards have been dealt and all players' hands have been acted upon.The object is to draw cards that add up to 21 or as close to it as possible. You are responsible for computing the point count of your own hand. The Jack, Queen and King count 10. The Ace counts as 11, unless that would give you or the dealer a count in excess of 21, in which it case, the Ace counts as one. All other cards are counted at their face value. Exceeding 21 is a "Break" and you automatically lose. Depending on the total of your original cards, you can "stand" (draw no more cards) or take a "hit" (draw one or more cards - one at a time until you are satisfied with your count)*. If your total count is 21 or less and the point count of the dealer is in excess of 21, you win. If your hand and the dealer's hand both total under 21 but your total count is higher, you win. If you "break" (over 21), you lose, even if the dealer breaks. If your count is the same as the dealer's it is a standoff. Should the dealer draw a 3 or more card 21, this does not beat your 2 cards 21 (Blackjack). If you have a 3 or more card 21 and the dealer has a 2 card 21 (Blackjack), you lose. If you achieve a score of 21 in two cards and the dealer achieves a score of 21 in more than two cards, you win. If the first two cards dealt to a player or dealer are an Ace and any 10, Jack or King, the hand is considered a Blackjack. Blackjack: If the first face up card dealt to the dealer is 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9 and you have a Blackjack, the dealer shall announce and pay the Blackjack odds and shall remove your cards before any player receives a third card. If the first face up card dealt to the dealer is an Ace, King, Queen, Jack or Ten, and you have a Blackjack, the dealer shall announce the Blackjack but shall make no payment nor remove any cards until all other cards are dealt to the players and the dealer receives his second card. If, in such circumstances, the dealer's second card does not give him Blackjack, your Blackjack shall be paid odds. If, however, the dealer's second card gives him Blackjack, the wager of the player having Blackjack shall be voided and constitute a standoff. Insurance Wagers: Whenever the first card dealt to the dealer is an Ace, you have the right to make an "insurance wager" which wins if the dealer's second card is a King, Queen, Jack or Ten and loses if the dealer's second card is an Ace, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9. Up to half of the initial wager may be bet as insurance after the second card is dealt and prior to any additional cards being dealt. Winning "insurance wagers" shall be paid at odds. Doubling Down: You may "double down" on any two cards, or the first two of any split pair except for Blackjack or a count of 21 in two cards. You must make an additional wager not in excess of the amount wagered in "doubling down". Splitting Pairs: You may split two cards of identical value by making a wager on the second hand so formed in an amount equal to the original wager. You may not split again if the second card is identical in value to a card of the split pair. Only one card shall be dealt to each Ace of a split pair. If the dealer obtains Blackjack after you split pairs, the dealer shall only collect the amount of your original wager and shall not collect the additional amount wagered in "splitting pairs".
