RULES:

• The objective of Blackjack Fortune Spinner is to get a hand that totals 21 or is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand without exceeding 21.
• The value of a hand is the sum of the individual card’s value. Blackjack is the highest hand and consists of two cards: an Ace and any 10-point card. Blackjack beats a score of 21.
• You can choose 1 to 3 hands to play on in a game round. The chosen hands are played clockwise, starting from your rightmost hand. The dealer's hand is played last. You may Split, Double and take Insurance, just like in standard Blackjack.

Blackjack Fortune Spinner is a variant of Blackjack with the following rules:

• 8 decks of cards are used. After each round, used cards are returned to the deck and the deck is shuffled.
• Aces count as either 1 or 11, face cards count as 10 and number cards count at their face values.
• The player may not split a Split hand.
• Only one card is drawn to each Ace in a Split hand.
• The player may double after splitting.
• The Dealer will not automatically check for Blackjack, regardless of the value of the Dealer's first face-up card.
• Ace and a 10-point card after a split are considered 21, and not Blackjack.
• Blackjack pays 1.5 times the bet amount (3 to 2).
• If the total value of the Player’s cards is closer to 21 than the Dealer's after the dealer has stopped taking cards, the player wins the bet amount (1 to 1).
• If the total of the Player's cards is more than 21, the player's hand is “Bust” and the player automatically loses the bet for that hand.
• If the Player and the Dealer have the same point total (17 to 21), neither of them wins and the player's bet is returned to the player in a “Push”.
• The Dealer always draws to 16. The Dealer stands when the dealer's hand has a value of 17 or greater (including soft 17). The Dealer does not draw when the player is “Bust”.
• Blackjack beats a score of 21.

SPLIT:

If you have two cards of the same value (i.e. paired, for example two 7s, two 10 valued cards, two face cards, etc.), you can choose to SPLIT them into two separate hands with additional bet same as the initial hand bet. Dealer will now deal one card for each of these two hands. You may draw as many cards as you like on each split hand, unless you split 2 Aces (in which case, you receive only 1 additional card for each Ace). If you receive an Ace and a 10-value card in a split hand, it is considered 21 and not Blackjack. You are only allowed to split once, even if a split hand is paired. 

DOUBLE:

You can double your bet on a hand before you take a third card. You cannot double the bet on a hand after taking a third card. After doubling a bet, a final card will be dealt to you automatically. You can double on all your hands, if you wish. You can also double your bet on a split hand.

INSURANCE:

If the Dealer's first face up card is an Ace, you will be given a chance to insure each of your regular bets against the dealer having Blackjack. If you take Insurance, then an amount equal to half your original bet will be deducted from your balance and placed separately on the table. If the dealer has blackjack, the insurance bet pays 2:1, and you will lose the initial hand bet. If the dealer does not have blackjack, you will lose the insurance bet and the game will continue for the initial hand bet. Insurance does not affect any side bets.

EVEN MONEY:

If the dealer has an Ace, and the player has a BLACKJACK, the player has the option of “EVEN MONEY?”. Click on ACCEPT for this hand, the player will receive the same amount (1:1) for the Blackjack, without the Dealer’s face-down card even being exposed, thus protecting the player from a possible Dealer’s Blackjack. The player may also click on DECLINE for this hand. If the Dealer does not have a blackjack, the player will be paid at a normal relation of 3:2 for the Blackjack.

• If the first two cards dealt to the player are an Ace and a 10-valued card combination, the hand is BLACKJACK and pays 3:2 if it beats the dealer. But if the dealer has BLACKJACK too the result is PUSH.
• If you have an Ace and a 10-valued card after splitting, the hand value is 21 only and not BLACKJACK. If the 21-valued hand wins, it is paid at odds of 1:1.
• When the dealer hand is complete the results are displayed on both the Dealer's and the player's cards.
• APPLY TO ALL toggle button will not be shown if any of the hand(s) has a BLACKJACK.
