Game Rules

• The game is played with two regular decks
  
  
• The dealer must stand on all 17's
  
  
• The player can take multiple cards to split aces, certainly different from "standard" blackjack rules.
  
  
• When the upcard is an Ace or ten-value card, the dealer does not have to peek at the hole card to determine whether he has a blackjack or not.
  
  
• The player can split a hand to make two hands, but there is no re-splitting beyond that.
  
  
• Doubling down is only possible on a 9, 10 or 11. The player is not allowed to double on soft hands.
  
  
• Two ten-value cards that are not the same rank can not be split.

Payout Schedule

• Blackjacks (two-card 21's) pay off at 3-to-2 odds
  
  
• A "Standard Win" is paid off at even money, or 1-to-1 odds. This applies to all winning hands that are not blackjacks or insurance bets.
  
  
• Winning an insurance bet pays off at odds of 2-to-1. If you take insurance and the dealer indeed has a blackjack you are paid off at odds of 2-to-1.
  
  
• A "standard win" pays even money, or 1-to-1 odds. A standard win is anything that is not a blackjack or insurance bet, or High Streak bet.
  
  
• The High Streak Bonus payouts operate along the following lines: the 2nd Streak Win is paid at even money (1-to-1); the 3rd Streak Win is 2-to-1, the 4th Streak Win is 5-to-1, and the 5th Streak Win is 10-to-1. As one can see, it is quite lucrative to go on a streak.
