    • Understanding Basic Game Rules

    These fundamental settings determine how the game operates. The number of decks affects card counting difficulty and house edge. Dealer rules impact when they must hit or stand. Payout ratios directly affect your potential winnings - look for 3:2 blackjack payouts rather than 6:5 for better odds.

    Any 2 initial cards. No Double after Split.

  • Splitting Rules

    Only 1 split per hand. Single card on Split Aces.

  • Hitting Restrictions

    No decision on soft 21.

  • Insurance Offered

    Yes

  • Insurance Payout

    2:01

    • Understanding Player Actions & Rules

    These rules define what actions you can take during gameplay. Double down and splitting options provide strategic opportunities to increase bets when you have an advantage. Insurance is generally not recommended by basic strategy experts due to its high house edge.
