The Game
Multi-Hand Blackjack is a game where the player, controlling up to three hands at a time, competes against the dealer. This game follows the standard rules of the Nevada Gaming Commission. Your goal is to draw cards ("Hit") until your hand adds up to, or is close to 21, without exceeding 21. You may draw up to a total of 7 cards and must then stand. If your first two cards total 21, you have Blackjack.

How to Play
You may wager in any or all of the three betting locations on the table. A hand will be dealt to each betting spot containing a wager. When the total value of the cards in a hand is closer to (but not exceeding) 21 than the dealer's, you win an amount equal to your bet. If you have Blackjack, you win 3-to-2 times your bet (assuming the dealer does not also have Blackjack). All cards have the value that they display, all face cards have a value of 10, and Aces have a value of either 1 or 11. If the total of your cards exceeds 21, you "bust" and lose your bet. If you have the same total as the dealer, no one wins and your stake is returned ("push"). A Blackjack beats a score of 21. To clear the table to play a new game, press the "New Game" button. When a subsequent game is started, the player's previous bets are displayed under the three betting locations. To repeat your last bet, press the "Repeat Bet" button.

Splitting
When the first two cards of a hand are of equal value, you may split them into two separate hands. To create the second hand, click the Split button. A bet of equal value will be placed on the second hand. You then draw cards as usual. When you split two Aces, you get only one additional card for each hand. When you split two Aces and one of your hands totals 21, it is not considered Blackjack, but "21". You may not split an already split hand.

Doubling Down
After you have been dealt two cards, you will be given the option to double down. By clicking Double Down your bet is doubled and you receive only one additional card, placed sideways on the previous two. You may double down after splitting your hand.

Insurance
Insurance is made available only when the dealer's up card is an Ace. The insurance is against the dealer having a Blackjack. The cost of insurance is half your initial bet. If the dealer has a Blackjack, the insurance pays 2-to-1 of your insurance bet. If you bought insurance, and the dealer does not have Blackjack, you lose your insurance. The bet is then settled by comparing your cards with the dealer's. Should you and the dealer both have Blackjack, the game results in a push. Insurance must be wagered on a per hand basis.

Dealer Rules
The dealer must draw until a minimum total of 17 is obtained, and must stand at 17 or higher.

Betting
To place a bet, left-click the desired chip then click with the left mouse button in the desired betting area. The selected chip will appear in the betting box on the Blackjack table. You can reclaim a wagered chip before the game begins by right-clicking on the chip. After placing a bet, you can add or subtract from it by left or right-clicking in the betting box on the Blackjack table. If you initially click in the betting area instead of clicking on a chip, you will bet an amount equal to your last bet or $5 in the initial game.

Betting Limits Per Hand
The minimum wager for each hand in Multi-Hand Blackjack is $5, and the maximum wager per seat is $500.

Progressive Jackpot
By left-clicking on the chip-slot mechanism (black with red lights) above the betting area you place a $1 wager that makes you eligible for progressive jackpot payouts (listed below). You may right-click on the coin-slot to remove the progressive bet before the deal. If you have wagered on the progressive and are dealt one of the listed card combinations then you win the prescribed amount if you do not bust, whether you beat the dealer's hand or not. The progressive payout is based on cards dealt consecutively from the first card dealt to a table seat regardless of splitting. A portion of all progressive wagers are fed into the progressive jackpot amount and raise the value of payouts that are a percentage of the total displayed at the top of the screen.

Only the highest of these combinations is paid out per table seat. For example: if a single seat receives two aces of spades you may choose to split. When you do so, should you then be dealt an ace of clubs and a king on the first split hand followed by three black aces on the second split hand, you would be paid the $250 bonus for three unsuited aces. You would not additionally receive the $100 bonus for the two aces of spades that make up the start of the three unsuited aces. Neither would you be paid a jackpot for the four black aces that make up the second split hand because the king interrupted the consecutive sequence from the start of the deal.
