FAQ

How do I play Black Jack?

Black Jack is a card game where the goal is to beat the dealer's hand without exceeding a total of 21. Players are dealt two cards initially and can choose to either hit (draw a new card) or stand (not draw any more cards). The dealer then reveals their hand and draws cards based on specific rules. The player with a hand closer to 21 wins.

What are the card values in Black Jack?

In Blackjack, all numbered cards from 2 to 10 retain their face value. Face cards (Jack, Queen, and King) are valued at 10, while the Ace can be counted as either 1 or 11 depending on the player's preference.

What is a natural Blackjack?

A natural Blackjack is achieved when a player or the dealer is dealt an Ace and a 10-value card (10, Jack, Queen, or King) as their initial two cards. It is the strongest hand that automatically wins unless both the player and dealer have a natural Blackjack, resulting in a push (tie).

Can I split my hand in Blackjack?

Yes, if your initial two cards have the same value, you have the option to split them into two separate hands. Each hand will receive an additional card, and you continue playing each hand independently.

What happens if my hand exceeds 21?

If your hand exceeds a total of 21, it results in a bust, and you automatically lose the round. The dealer doesn't need to draw any more cards if a player busts.

Can the dealer bust in Blackjack?

Yes, the dealer can also bust in Blackjack. If the dealer's hand exceeds 21, all remaining players who haven't busted automatically win the round.

When should I hit or stand in Blackjack?

The decision to hit (draw a new card) or stand (not draw any more cards) in Blackjack depends on several factors such as the value of your hand and the dealer's visible card. Basic strategy suggests that you should hit if your hand is around 11 or less and possibly hit until your hand reaches around 17 or more. However, it's best to consult a Blackjack strategy chart for precise decisions based on your hand value and the dealer's upcard.

Can I double down in Blackjack?

Yes, you have the option to double down in Blackjack after receiving your initial two cards. This involves doubling your bet and receiving one additional card. The ability to double down may vary based on specific rules implemented by WorkHorse Games' version of Blackjack.

Is card counting allowed in WorkHorse Games' Blackjack?

Card counting is generally not allowed in online or virtual versions of Blackjack, including WorkHorse Games' edition. The game is designed to use random number generators for card distribution, making card counting ineffective.

Is there insurance available in WorkHorse Games' Blackjack?

Insurance is an optional side bet offered in some versions of Blackjack. However, its availability may depend on the specific rules implemented by WorkHorse Games. Check the game interface or rules section for details regarding insurance.
