Blackjack Switch
- Select a chip by clicking on it. Now click on a bet area to
increase your bet by the chip amount. Every click on the bet area
increases your bet, every right-click decreases your bet.
- There are two kinds of bet areas – normal and ‘Super
Match’ bet. Normal bet area is any of the two larger areas,
‘Super Match’ bet area is the small area. Remember
that by clicking on the normal bet area, you actually place two
identical bets – one for each of your hands.
- After you have placed your bets, click the Deal button.
- Use the Hit, Stand, Double, Split, Insurance and Switch buttons
as required.
- Please note that if you want to Switch, you need to do so before
starting to play your first hand. After using Hit, Split, Double
or Insurance buttons, you cannot Switch. Also please note that
Insurance, Double and Split buttons require an additional wager,
as described in the rules. You are not able to use these buttons,
if you do not have sufficient balance.
- If you want to play another round, press New Game. Then place
a bet as described above and click the Deal button, or click Rebet
to place the same bet as in the previous round.
Super Match
This is an optional bet, you do not need to place a super bet to
play the game. To place a super bet, place the chip(s) in the small
circle between the normal bet areas. Super bet wins if your 4 initial
cards contain 2 or more cards of the same kind (pair of Jacks, three
Aces etc.) The win ratios are written on the table.

The object of Blackjack Switch is for the total of your cards in
either hand to be closer to 21 than the dealer’ s cards, without
exceeding 21. Card values are the same as in standard Blackjack
– aces count as either 1 or 11, face cards as 10, and number
cards as their face value.
The rules are the same as in standard Blackjack (see here). Except
you have two hands, which you play in turn – first the right
and then the left one, then the dealer plays his hand. You may split,
double, take insurance etc. just like in standard Blackjack. An
exception from the standard Blackjack is that the dealer always
hits soft 17 – meaning he always draws one more card when
he has 17 with an ace counted as 11. Also, ‘'Blackjacks' pay
1/1 instead of 3/2 although more ‘'Blackjacks' are created
due to the ‘'switching' option. (See below). Another exception
is that Blackjack rule no. 5 (“If the player doubles and the
dealer’s first card is of value 10, and the dealer gets blackjack,
the player loses only the initial bet.”) does not apply in
Blackjack Switch.
Switch
Prior to any hits, you may switch the top cards of your two hands.
Push 22
Dealer will 'push' on a total of 22 (except 'Blackjacks' will still
win). This means that whenever the dealer's total reaches 22
then all bets are 'pushed', regardless of their total except if
a player has a ‘'Blackjacks', which will still win.
Super Match
The small circle between the standard bet areas is the super bet
area. The super bet wins if your initial 4 cards contain 2 or more
matching cards. For example, if your right hand is a Queen and a
Six, and your left hand a Queen and a King, you have a pair and
your super bet wins. The win ratios are written on the table.
