Playing as the Dealer

In “Be The Casino” You are always welcome to enjoy the Casino in the traditional role of the Player. However, why not try something new to turn the tables in your favor and take advantage of our unique Dealer feature?

As the Dealer, you can try your luck against other real players in the Casino. You'll enjoy the favorable odds usually reserved for the House and increase your chances of winning

How it works:

Once you've gained enough Dealer Points and an adequate balance, you can click on Be the Dealer after you've chosen your game and table type in the Casino software.

On entry to the table, the software matches you with a Player(s). You'll notice that your view of the table changes so you can see the traditional Dealer perspective. Once you click the Approve button for the next round, the Player places his bets on the table. The Auto-Approve feature works so that you do not have to approve each round individually.

At the end of each round, the Casino takes a commission. The Dealer takes the remainder of the Player's loss or pays out the Player's win, whatever the case may be. The commission varies from game to game.

Dealer Points

For each dollar that you bet at the Casino, you'll be awarded one Dealer Point. These points can either be used to play as the Dealer in your favorite game or exchanged for cash. When you make your first deposit at the Casino, it gives you a 200% Dealer Points bonus.

Blackjack rules

• When your first two cards are an Ace and a ten (or picture card), you have Blackjack, which is also called a natural 21. Blackjack always beats a hand that totals 21 by adding the values of more than the first two cards.
• A picture card is counted as 10, a number card from 2-10 is counted at its face value, and an Ace can be counted as either 1 or 11. A hard hand is a hand that does not contain an Ace or contains an Ace that can only be counted as 1 so as not to bust.
• Payouts are as follows:
• Beat the dealer without busting: 1-1 payout
• Beat the dealer with Blackjack: 3-2 payout
• Tie the dealer with the same value: push (get your bet back)
• Blackjack is played with six decks, which are shuffled after each hand.

• The dealer must accept cards until he reaches a total value of at least 17.
• The dealer must hit on soft 17 (ace + 6)

• Each player receives two cards face up and the dealer receives one card face up and one card face down (the hole card). You may request as many cards as you like until you bust.

• If you are dealt a Blackjack, which is a 10 or face card along with an ace, you immediately are paid 1.5 times (3-2) the placed bet unless the dealer also has Blackjack in which case the hand is considered a push.

• If you are dealt a Blackjack, and the dealer's up card is an ace, you can take even money by buying insurance. Even money means that you will be paid at a ratio of 1-1 on your bet, instead of 3-2.

• After all the players' bets are completed, the dealer turns over his hole card and plays according to the rules of the game. If the dealer has sixteen or less, he must draw a card (hit), until he reaches seventeen or more. If the dealer's cards total exceeds 21 (bust), he must pay all players who are still in the game.

Blackjack Specifics

Hit:
You receive another card. For example, if your two cards equal 10, you have nothing to lose by requesting another card, as your total cannot exceed 21.

Stand:
You have decided that your hand is good enough and you don't want to be dealt another card.

Double Down:
After you have received your first two cards you have the option to double the initial wager. Once you have chosen to do this, click on the Double button and you will be dealt a third card. Your hand will only consist of these three cards (i.e. you cannot hit again).

Split:
If you are dealt two cards of identical value, you can then split them (i.e. 8, 8 or 10, J). You will now be playing two separate hands of one card each. You will be dealt a second card to one of the hands. After this hand is played out, you'll be dealt a second card to the second hand. The hand will continue until it's played out. When you split Aces, you will only receive one additional card for each hand. You may split your hand twice and a new wager equal to the initial wager will be placed for each split hand (the playing hand is marked by an arrow). A split hand resulting in Blackjack pays out at a ratio of 1-1 rather than the normal 3-2. To split your hand, simply click on the Split button on the game screen (if a split is permissible this button will be highlighted).

Insurance:
If the dealer's first card is an Ace, it's possible that he has Blackjack. If you believe the dealer has Blackjack, you can buy insurance to protect yourself. You will pay ½ your original wager and if the dealer gets Blackjack, your insurance will pay 2-1, which corresponds to your original stake. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, you will lose your insurance but retain your original wager.

Even Money:
If you have Blackjack and the dealer's up card is an Ace, you can buy insurance and receive even money. This means that you will be paid 1-1 instead of 3-2 regardless of what cards the dealer receives. You should take even money if you believe that the dealer's hole card is a 10 or a face card. If you choose not to take even money and the dealer has Blackjack, both hands push. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, you will be paid 3-2.

Push:
A push refers to when the sum of the dealer's hand is equal to the sum of the player's hand. In this event the play is a draw, and no one wins nor loses.
