Betfair Casino are proud to offer six deck Blackjack. If you are not familiar with Blackjack, you may want to look at the Blackjack Rules first.

To play the game:

  • Click on the chips to select them and then put them in the betting area to increase your bet. Every time you click on a chip increases your bet by the chip value, and every right-click decreases the bet.

  • Click the Deal button to deal the initial cards to both you and the dealer.

  • If the dealer shows an Ace and you have Blackjack then the casino will offer you insurance. Click the Insurance button to insure against the dealer also having Blackjack.

  • Use the Hit, Stand, Double and Split buttons as required.

  • Please note that Insurance, Double and Split require additional bets that'll mean you'll need the money in account to make them. If you do not then you will not be offered these options.

  • If you want to play another round then press New Game. Then place a bet as described above and click the Deal button. Clicking Rebet will place the same bet as you did previously.

Multihand:

You can also play this game in Multihand mode. Select "Multihand" in the casino lobby when starting the game. You can play with up to five hands simultaneously. To place bets for each of the hands you want to play then bet as explained above but in all the betting areas you want to. You can still play one hand only if you wish, or any number of hands up to five. Every hand may have a different bet amount.

Multiplayer and Private Group Modes:

In Multiplayer and Private Group Modes, several players sit at the same table. To join a Private Group, you need to know its name.

Keep in mind that:

  • After a period of inactivity the player will see a 15 second countdown. If the player has not made his decision when the countdown is over, he will automatically stand (or skip a deal).

  • If a player is disconnected from the Internet during a game, he will be removed from the table. Once that player logs back in, he will be taken to a single-player version of the game with his last hand dealt to him, so he can finish his game.
