Blackjack, also popular as Twenty-one, is one of the most famous casinogames worldwide. Blackjack is played against the Dealer only, not against other players.This is not a poker game – points are important, not the poker hands.
Offered only when the dealer's upcard is an ace, it acts as a safety net against an opposing blackjack. An insurance bet is usually half your original wager and pays 2 to 1. The side bet is completed when the dealer's second card is revealed. If it's a ten, jack, queen or king, the dealer will make a blackjack and you will win the insurance bet.
Objectives
The Blackjack goal is to beat the Dealer by gathering the more points possible, withoutexceeding 21. If your hand gains more points than the Dealer’s does or the Dealer’s handhas more than 21 points, you win. If your hand counts more than 21 points, you go bankruptand lose your bet.
Cards
- Blackjack is played with a standard 52-card deck and is a very simple game that requires a certain amount of skill based on a certain amount of luck. The luck part has to do with the cards you are dealt and the skill has to do with learning some basic strategies—mainly knowing when to hit, stand, split or double-down.
- Kings Bounty blackjack is a special Side bet on first cards dealt to player and the dealer. Played with 6 decks of cards. For a hand of unsuited total 20 player is paid 4 to 1; 2 Kings pay 6 to 1; Suited 20 pays 9 to 1; 2 suited 10’s, Jacks or Queens pay 20 to 1; 2 suited Kings pay 30 to 1; 2 Kings of Spades pay 100 to 1 and 2 Kings of Spades against a dealer blackjack pay 1000 to 1.
Blackjack is played with a standard 52-card deck, mixed after each game. The suitdoes not count, only the card points. Different cards gain different number of points.
- Cards with numbers – from 2 to 10 – gain respective points (have their face value).
- Jack (J), Queen (Q) and King (K) gain 10 points.
- Ace (A) might be counted as 11 or 1 point, depending on the value needed for a best hand.
If you have 7 and Ace (A) – this makes the sum of 7 + 11 = 18 points. But, if you get 9afterwards, this will make the sum of 26 points, meaning higher than 21. In this second case,the Ace (A) would be counted as 1 point and the sum would become 7 + 1 + 9 = 17 points.When you have 7 and Ace (A) you have 18 soft points, because the points may vary.If you have 8 and 10 you have regular points.
Blackjack is a combination of two cards with 21 points value that consists of an Ace anda 10-point card (10, Jack, Queen, and King). You might have a Blackjack only in the beginningof the game, when you receive your first two cards. If you reach 21 points on a later stage,it would not be counted as Blackjack.
Game
Blackjack starts with a bet. You enter the game with this bet. After determining your bet,push the Deal button to deal cards. Two face-up cards are dealt to you and two cards – to the Dealer.One of the Dealer’s cards is faced-up and one is hidden.
- Hit – click the Hit button to receive a next card and add its points to your score.
- Stand – click the Stand button to show that you need no extra cards and stop playing.It is next player’s or Dealer’s turn.
- Double – click the Double button to double the bet; you receive only one more card andfinish the game. It is next player’s or Dealer’s turn.
Dealer checking for Blackjack
Internet Blackjack
If the Dealer’s faced-up card is Jack (J), Queen (Q), King (K) or Ace (A), he/she might check for Blackjackby viewing his/hers second card. In case of a Blackjack the second Dealer’s card is turned over and his/herhand is compared to yours.
If Dealer’s faced-up card is Ace (A), you have the right to secure yourself in case of a second 10-point card.This happens by clicking Yes or No buttons, related to the question Insurance?The insurance costs money and is equal to half of your entrance bet. If you choose to insure yourself and theDealer has a Blackjack (the second card is a 10-point card), your insurance returns 2 to 1.
Dealer’s game
The Dealer starts his/her game after all players have completed their hands. He/she gets additional cards untilreaching 17 points. At 17 or more points the Dealer stops, no matter if the points are soft or regular, andthe hand comparison begins.
Hands comparison
- If your hand holds more than 21 points (bankruptcy), you lose your bet, no matter of Dealer’s hand.
- If Dealer is bankrupt, but you are not, you win the bet.
- Blackjack is paid off 3 to 2 – if you have betted 10 points and you have a Blackjack, your bet is returnedand you win extra 15 points or the sum of 10 + 15 = 25 points in total.
- Regular hand is paid off 1 to 1.
- In case of equal hands only the bet is returned.
- Insurance is paid off 2 to 1 – if you have betted 10 points and you need insurance, you have to betadditional 5 points. If the Dealer has a Blackjack, the 5-point insurance would be returned and 10 more pointswould be won or the total sum would be 5 + 10 = 15 points. If you don’t have a Blackjack, and the Dealer has,you are going to lose your primary bet, but the insurance will return money to you. This way you neither win,nor lose.

It is weird some of them Game Kings have no splits or doubles and BJ pays even money but most people dont even check or pay attention

Most Game Kings have even money blackjack to my knowledge. I have yet to see one that wasn't anyway. It's the price you pay to play cheap blackjack usually...lol The game you described is the best I ever heard of for a Game King.
so wheres this machine at? with a bet of $1-10 only, sounds perfect for my tiny roll. as long as i can still grind out comps, and play up to 5 hands when no one else is on it, still a $1-50 spread. if it dont shuffle every hand its countable.
It do shuffle after every hand and you can only spread 1-10
I was wondering if anyone knows what the HE on this set of rules on the Game King 6.0 BJ machines I have run across in a casino I frequent, the rules are very liberal and only a few machines are setup with this set of rules and you have to be betting a $1 min to get these rules any less and the rules are different and really only bad thing I find is max bet is $10.00

Have you played it enough to know whether it is allowing you to double after split even though doubling after the split is not listed in the rules?
Have you split Aces, caught a ten and automatically got payed for blackjack even though it is not listed in the rules?

If the game is allowing you to do these two things you have a much stronger play. These were the two glitches in the old full pay IGT blackjack. And the rules you have listed here were the same for that game.

I just seen where you have Split One Time Only and Double After Split both listed here. Can you clarify? I think you have probably stumbled onto the IGT full pay video blackjack which I put at 100.03%. You can glean the compositional strategy to this game from the Wizard of Odds site. That's what I did. The only part of the strategy you can't get at WoO is the 6 Card Charlie strategy (maybe the Wiz could put it up for us).
There are a lot of things that can be done with this extremely low variance game (very low compared to video poker). Running comp is one. Cashback is huge, it spits money out like an ATM machine. Freeplay. Drawings based on action is another big one.

How Much Is A King In Blackjack
I don't think 100.03% is correct.
According to the calculator on WoO, without 6-card charlie, this would have a 0.3% house edge (with perfect composition-dependent play and shuffling after each hand), and 6-card charlie adds 0.16% for the player, so we are down to a 0.14% house edge.
It's a very good game, but there is no player edge off the top, I don't think. It might be +EV after factoring freeplay into account, depending on where you can find it.
If the dealer stands on soft 17, it would be around 100.03% or so (is that what you were calculating?) but the rules say H17.
