Why Play Microgaming Classic Blackjack GOLD

Microgaming Classic Blackjack GOLD is the basic version of the popular casino card game. As such, it is the most widely known form and also the easiest to play. This game is played with one standard deck of 52 playing cards, which are shuffled before each round. The dealer is required to stand on 17. The object of the game for the player is to beat the dealer by achieving a hand totaling 21 points or less when the dealer either has a lower valued hand or busts (that is, goes over 21). When this happens, the player wins the game and receives a payout according to the value of his hand.

Rules of the Game

Players are allowed to split pairs once. If a pair of aces is split and the next card dealt is a 10, the hand will not be considered a Blackjack for payout purposes. Players may double if their hand's point value totals 9, 10 or 11, or after splitting a hand.
