Rules

In Face Up 21, the dealer always hits on soft 17. Interestingly, when the dealer is forced to stand (any Hard hand of 17 or more), the game takes over for you, and automatically hits for you until you win or bust. You can split any pair for a new bet equal to your ante, and can continue to hit on each hand, unless the cards split were aces, in which case each hand just gets one more card then you must stand. You can double down on Hard totals of 9, 10, and 11, and can double down after a split. Because you can see the dealer’s first two cards, insurance is not available, nor can you surrender in this game. Dealer wins all ties.

Payouts

Your Ante bet when playing Face Up 21 has to be at least 1, and can be no more than 250 USD/GBP/Euro. There are four different chips – 1, 5, 25, and 100 – that you can use to place your bet. Because this is a game of Face Up, where the Dealer’s hand is exposed, blackjack pays even money in this game, at 1:1. In fact, all winning hands pay at 1:1, so you can always know how much you will win when you place your bet!
