Mini Blackjack Game Rule

Mini Blackjack is a 1vs1 table game which aims to beat the Dealer by building a Player's Hand with total points equal to or as close as possible to 21 (without busting) which is better than Dealer's Hand, or to have Dealer Bust. The player can choose one seat out of three to place a bet. Once the Player's Hand and Dealer's Hand have been dealt, the player can choose their actions based on the values of the cards. If the Player's Hand has more points than the Dealer's Hand, the player wins the game.

Gameplay

Points per card

• If the first two cards of a hand consist of an Ace and a 10-valued card, the hand is a Blackjack and it is the highest combination, which is more valuable than other 21 point-combinations. If the player has Blackjack and the dealer does not, the main bet pays 3:2.
• If the total points of Player’s Hand is closer to 21 than that of the dealer, the main bet pays 1:1.
• If the total points of Player’s Hand is over 21, the hand Busts and the player Loses the bet.
• If the total points of both Player's Hand and Dealer's Hand are the same (≥ 17 points), the result is a Push and the player will have the refund of the bet.

Insurance is an optional side bet, which is equal to half of the player's bet that has been placed in the same round. It is available immediately after a deal of Dealer’s face up card is an Ace. If the dealer has Blackjack, the player will be paid 2:1 on his insurance bet.
