Atlantic City Blackjack is an American Hole card game.
Atlantic City Blackjack is played with eight standard decks of 52 playing cards that are shuffled after the completion of every game.
The Dealer checks for a Blackjack when he is dealt a 10 or an Ace.
If the Dealer has a Blackjack, the game is over.
Blackjack always beats any other hand with a value of 21.
All face cards - Jacks, Kings and Queens, have a value of 10. Aces can have a value of either 1 or 11.
You may draw up to nine additional cards to make a hand of eleven cards, provided the value of your hand does not exceed 21.
If your hand does not exceeded 21 after receiving eleven cards, your hand automatically Stands, and the Dealer plays his hand. The
Dealer Stands on a soft 17.
Splitting:
You can Split two cards that have the same Denomination or Value, such as a Queen and a Ten, or two Fours.
Your hand is divided into two separate hands and a bet equal to your original bet is placed on the second hand.
If you Split a pair of Aces and then draw a card with a value of 10, this is not Blackjack, although it has a value of 21.
Note: This rule also applies to splitting pairs of cards with a value of 10.
You can Split a maximum number of 3 times per game, equaling 4 hands.
Note: This rule excludes Aces. Aces are only Split once.
If you Split a pair of Aces, each Ace is dealt one card, and the hand automatically Stands.
