Play Face Up Blackjack Online

Online Blackjack as it is known, but with the benefit of dealing cards. Turn around! You see both of your cards as well as the dealer's cards when the cards are dealt. Face Up, as a result. The presence of the Dealer's entire hand makes for certain special regulations and difficulties.

For instance, the game will automatically hit your hand until you beat the Dealer or bust out if the Dealer is forced to stand on his/her/its first two cards. The Dealer will stand on any hard 17 or more and on any soft 18 or more, according to a different rule.

On a soft 17 or less as well as a hard 16 or less, the dealer will strike. Another is that Face Up Blackjack pays even money. Since the dealer is the devil, he or she always wins ties. Keep in mind that as this game is played under European Rules, you can only double down if the sum of your first two cards is 9, 10, or 11.

How to Play Face Up Blackjack

In the blackjack variant known as 'Face Up 21,' both the player and the dealer are given face-up cards. The player is given the option to decide after seeing both of the Dealer's cards, which are face up.

Objective

The player's goal in the game is to defeat the dealer's hand by either getting a hand better than the dealer's without going over 21 or by forcing the dealer's hand to go bust (i.e. going over 21).

You may wager on as many as two hands. To begin dealing the cards, click the DEAL button. The Dealer and you each receive two cards. You are each dealt a card, face up. You will be handed various cards if you play multiple hands. Two cards are dealt face up for each hand being played. Each hand will be handled differently in this situation.

When a player's hands do not contain blackjack and the dealer does, the dealer automatically wins. The player always prevails when they have blackjack while the dealer does not. In the event when neither the Dealer nor the Player possess blackjack, the following choices will become available:

Double - After the first two cards are dealt and before drawing a third (fourth) card, the player has the option to double. To double your initial wager and add one extra card to your hand, click DOUBLE. Then, the hand can contain no more cards.

Note: You can only double your initial wager if the total of your first two cards is nine, ten, or eleven. In this kind of blackjack, splits are not an option.

To add another card to your hand, press the HIT button. You may take as many card draws as necessary. Automatic card drawing halts when the total hits 21.

Stop drawing cards for your hand by clicking the STAND button. After clicking STAND, the Dealer will begin to play his hand if it is the only or last hand, or play will go on to the following hand if it is not.

Up to 82.38% is the theoretical maximum return to player (RTP). This RTP stands for the game's long-term anticipated return on investment, which was determined by a third-party testing business and assessed on a monthly basis.

Face Up 21 is a variation of Blackjack where both the player and the Dealer are dealt their cards face-up. Seeing both of the Dealer's cards -face up-, allows the player to make a decision.

Objective

For the Player, the objective of the game is to beat the Dealer's hand by either getting a better hand without exceeding 21 or by the Dealer's hand going bust (i.e. going over 21).

Cards

8 decks are used, 52 cards each. Cards are shuffled after each game.

The value of a hand is simply the sum of the point values of each card in the hand. In Blackjack, cards are valued in the following way:

The cards from 2 through 9 have their face values;
10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10;
An Ace can be counted as either 1 or 11. An Ace always has the value that makes the best hand. Suppose you have Ace and 7. The value of this hand can be either 8 or 18. If you stop here, it will be 18. But let's assume you've drawn one more card. The hand contains Ace, 7 and 8. Its total value is 16; and
Blackjack is an initial two-card combination consisting of an ace and a ten-value card.
Betting Limits - per hand

Minimum bet: 50p
Maximum bet: €100. The maximum single bet that can be placed on the hand is €100 however, you can double this if the option becomes available.

PLAY

You are allowed to bet on up to two hands. Click the DEAL button to start dealing the cards. Both you and the Dealer are dealt two cards. You all receive cards face up. If you play multiple hands, several cards will be dealt to you. For each hand played, two cards are dealt face up. In this case each hand will be treated separately.

Where the dealer has Blackjack and the player's hands do not, the Dealer automatically wins. Where the Player has Blackjack and the dealer does not, the player automatically wins. Where both the Dealer and Player do not have Blackjack, the following options will become available:

Double - The Player can double after the first two cards have been dealt and before drawing an additional (third) card. Click DOUBLE to double your original bet amount and get one more card added to your hand. After this, no more cards can be added to the hand.

Note: You are only allowed to double the initial bet if the sum of the first two cards dealt to you is 9, 10 or 11. No splits are available in this version of Blackjack.

Hit - click the HIT button to draw an additional card for your hand. You can draw as many cards as required. If the total reaches 21, drawing cards stops automatically. If your hand busts (its total exceeds 21), your hand loses and will clear from the screen.

Stand - click the STAND button to stop drawing cards for your hand. Once STAND is clicked, play either moves to the next hand or, if it is the only or the last hand, then the Dealer will start to play his hand.

Dealers Rule

Once all of the player's hands have completed, the Dealer starts playing his hand. The Dealer must hit if the sum of his cards is less than 17 or is a soft 17 (a hand that includes an Ace valued as '11' for example a hand consisting of Ace+6 or Ace+2+4). The Dealer must stand if his hand is a hard 17 or higher.

Game Outcomes

Once the Player and the Dealer have both completed their hands, then the Player's and the Dealer's hands are compared.

The winning hand is the one with the highest total without busting.

If both the Player and the Dealer have Blackjack, then the Player wins. Otherwise the Dealer wins all other tied hands.

Note: if your hand busts, you lose, even if the dealer's hand busts as well.
