Essence of the game Blackjack
Blackjack is a gambling game in which the player plays against the croupier of a casino. To win, it is necessary for a player to get more points, than the dealer has, but it must not exceed 21, or it is beneficial for a player if the dealer himself “has overtaken”, having provided the player with an automatic victory.

In game of Blackjack 6 packs containing 52 cards from 2 to an ace in each of four leads are involved. Before the beginning of game the dealer reshuffles all cards, forming one pack from 312 cards. Afterwards the pack is placed into a distributing boot and the dealer cuts a pack with a separatory card on 2/3 packs. A separatory card is a limit up to which the pack in a boot will not vary. The cards which have left game develop into a release and will get back to the pack, only after there is a separatory card and a new pack in a boot will be placed.

Value of cards in Blackjack
Value of cards from 2 to 10 coincides with their rating value.
Value of cards the Jack, the Lady and the King is equaled to 10.
Value of the Ace is equal to 11 or 1. As the value of this card can vary from 11 to 1 and from 1 to 11 depending on a total sum of points, the player whom the Ace has dropped out, has the advantage. Combinations in which the Ace is considered to be equal to 11, are called “soft” ones. “Soft 18″ are an Ace and the Seven. Combinations in which the Ace is considered to be equal to 1, are called “rigid” ones. “Rigid 18″ is an Ace, Seven and Ten.

Stakes in Blackjack
To start game, the player should stake on one or more boxes. The player has possibility to buy up to five boxes. To stake, it is necessary to click a mouse on corresponding chip and on box, on which the player wants to put the stake. For stake cancellation, click a mouse by button “X”, and then by the field with the stake. For repetition of stakes of the previous game it is possible to press button “Rebet”.

Start of the game
To start the game, the player needs to stake and to press the button “Deal”. Further, the croupier distributes two cards to each bought box of the player and 2 cards to himself. All cards are distributed overtly, but the second card of the croupier remains closed. The combination of two cards with the sum of 21, is called Blackjack. Blackjack it is considered just after initial flop.

The insurance and dealer’s Blackjack
Right after initial flop the dealer checks the first card. If it is the Ace or a card with the face value of 10 points the player gets the possibility to use the insurance of his stakes from possible Blackjack at the croupier. The insurance is a rate that the croupier will catch Blackjack. Each bought box can be insured. Insurance cost is equal to half of the rate sum in the box. After the player makes the decision on the insurance of each of the boxes, the croupier checks (but does not open) the second card. If the croupier has caught Blackjack he opens the second card, then declares the result and pays all insurance rates 2 to 1. Further the dealer checks combinations of the player, – if the player has Blackjack the dealer returns cost of the rate from this box to the player. All the entire rates of the player lose. Thus the game comes to an end.
