The good kind of game night.
Get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. You play against the house, with your friends around the same table.
Number cards count as shown; J, Q and K count as 10. Aces count as 1 or 11. The dealer stands on all 17s, including soft 17. A fresh six-deck shoe is shuffled every round.
You start with 500 virtual chips. Initial bets are whole numbers from 5–500, within your balance. Splits and doubles can take the total wager above 500.
A natural blackjack (an ace and a ten-value card in your original two cards) pays 3:2. Ordinary wins pay 1:1. Equal totals push and return your stake. Dealer blackjack beats everything except another natural blackjack.
Half chips are shown exactly: a 5-chip blackjack wins 7.5 chips.
Hit Take another card.
Stand Keep your hand.
Double Match your bet. One last card.
Split Turn a pair into two hands.
Insurance Half-bet cover against dealer blackjack.
Double: Available on your first two cards, including after a split. Match your wager, take exactly one card, then stand.
Split: Two cards of the same value (including different ten-value cards) can become two hands. Match the wager. Up to four hands. Split aces get one additional card each, with no doubling or re-splitting. A 21 after splitting pays 1:1.
Insurance: Offered only when the dealer shows an ace, before the dealer checks for blackjack. It costs half your original bet and pays 2:1 profit if the dealer has blackjack. The dealer also checks a ten-value upcard before player turns.
Around the table: Six seats include the host. Joining during a hand means waiting until the next betting phase. Turns last 60 seconds; insurance choices last 30 seconds. Timed-out hands stand and unanswered insurance is declined. Your seat survives a refresh. After 45 seconds away, host duties pass to a connected player. Lobbies expire after 24 hours of inactivity.
These chips have no monetary value. There are no deposits, purchases or cash-outs.
This starts a new session and resets every player to 500 virtual chips.
