PLAY ORIGINAL BLACKJACK AT BETFAIR CASINO  

 

Original Blackjack from Cayetano Gaming adds some extra twists to this classic casino game for you to try!  

 

ORIGINAL BLACKJACK SPECIAL FEATURES

 

  • Blackjack Insurance – if the dealer’s face-up card is an ace, you can accept the Insurance option with a side-bet of half the amount of your original stake. If the dealer does have Blackjack, you still win 2:1.
  • Splitting – if your first two cards have the same value, you can split them to play two separate hands and place an additional bet equal to your original. Splitting two aces means you can only draw one more card per hand.
  • Doubling down – If you have a strong hand with your first two cards, you’ll get the chance to double your bet on that hand but can only draw one more card. This works with split hands too and gives you the edge if the dealer starts with a low-value hand.

 

HOW TO PLAY ORIGINAL BLACKJACK

 

You’ll be dealt two cards face up for each hand you’re playing. Depending on their total value you choose whether to ‘hit’ for extra cards or ‘stand’ when you’ve got a high total. At this stage you’ll only see the dealer’s first card – the second remains face down until all your hands are played. If the dealer’s two cards total less than 17, they must take another card. With 17 or more, the dealer can’t add another card. 

 

HOW TO PLACE ORIGINAL BLACKJACK BETS

 

Pick one, two or all three betting fields on the table and select a chip value that will be applied to each pick in increased increments to make up your total bet on the game. 

 

ORIGINAL BLACKJACK ODDS

 

  • If your hand is higher than the dealer’s or the dealer goes bust (over 21) you win – payout evens
  • If the dealer’s hand is higher than yours or you go bust, the dealer wins – forfeits your stake
  • If your hand matches the dealer’s, it’s a ‘push’ – original stake returned
  • If your winning hand is from a split – payout evens (excluding blackjack on a split hand)
  • Payouts for Special Plays winning hands: Insurance - 2:1; Double - 2:1 on original stake; Split - evens; Double-after-split - 2:1 on original stake for each winning hand.
