New York Jets Infinite Blackjack

Game Objective

The objective of New York Jets Infinite Blackjack is to achieve a higher card count than the dealer, but without going over 21. The best hand is Blackjack — when the sum of the values of the first two cards dealt is exactly 21. You compete only against the dealer, not against other players.

• Played with eight decks.
• The dealer always stands on hard 17 and hits on soft 17.
• The dealer checks for Blackjack on 10-J-Q-K.
• Double on any two initial cards
• Double after Split.
• Split initial cards of equal value.
• Only one Split per hand.
• Single card dealt to each Split Ace.
• Insurance is offered when the dealer shows an Ace.
• Blackjack pays 3 to 2.
• Insurance pays 2 to 1.
• Push game when hands are tied.

Game Rules

The game is hosted by a dealer and an unlimited number of players is allowed to play in each game round.

The game is played with eight standard 52-card decks. Card values in Blackjack are as follows:

• Cards from 2 to 10 are worth their face values.
• Face cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are each worth 10.
• Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever is more favorable to the hand. Note that a soft hand includes an Ace worth 11.

After the allotted betting time has expired, the dealer deals one card face up to all players, ending with the dealer. The dealer then deals a second card face up to all the players, but the dealer’s second card is dealt face down. The value of your initial hand is displayed next to your cards.

Blackjack

If the value of your initial two-card hand is exactly 21, you have Blackjack!

Insurance

If the dealer’s up card is an Ace, you are given the option to purchase insurance to offset the risk that the dealer has Blackjack — even when you have Blackjack yourself. The amount of the insurance is equal to one half of your main bet, and the insurance bet is settled separately from the bet on your hand. The dealer then peeks at the value of their down card to check for Blackjack. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the round continues. If the dealer has Blackjack, but you do not, the game is over and the dealer’s hand wins.

If you and the dealer both have Blackjack, the game ends in a push and your bet is returned.

Dealer checks for Blackjack on 10

If the dealer's upcard is a 10 or a face card, he/she will check if the downcard is an Ace and the dealer has Blackjack. If the dealer has Blackjack, the dealer's hand wins. If you and the dealer both have Blackjack, the game ends in a push and your bet is returned. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the round continues.

Double, Hit, or Stand

If the dealer does not have Blackjack upon checking their two initial cards, the players are given the chance to improve the values of their hands in turn, by the dealer offering to deal further cards to players’ hands.

If the value of your initial hand is not 21, you can decide to Double. In this case, you will double your bet and be dealt only one additional card to add to your hand. Alternatively, you can decide to Hit to be dealt an additional card to add to the value of your hand. You can Hit more than once to receive additional cards before you decide to Stand once you are satisfied with the value of your hand.

Please note that the player will not be offered a decision option when their soft hand score equals 21.

Split

If your initial hand is a pair of cards of equal value, you can decide to Split the pair to make two separate hands, each with a separate bet equal to your main bet. After a second card is dealt to both your hands, you can improve the value of these two hands by deciding to Hit or Double. Again, you can choose to Stand once you are satisfied with the value of your two hands. However, if you Split an initial pair of Aces, you will receive only one additional card per hand with no option to Hit or Double.

Outcome

If the sum of your hand exceeds 21, you bust and lose your bet on that hand.

When all players have taken their turns, the dealer reveals the value of their down card. The dealer must Stand on a hand of hard 17 and hit on soft 17. Remember that a “soft hand” includes an Ace worth 11.

You win if the value of your final hand is closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand, or when the dealer busts. If the value of your hand is the same as the dealer’s, the game round ends in a push and your bet is returned.

Blackjack is only possible using the two cards in the initial two-card deal. A hand of 21 resulting from a split pair is not considered a Blackjack. Therefore, Blackjack beats any hand of 21 resulting from a split pair.

Side Bets

This Blackjack game also includes optional side bets — Perfect Pairs, 21+3, Hot 3, Bust-O-Rama. You may place side bets in combination with your main Blackjack bet. You have the chance to win on any side bet, whether you subsequently win or lose on your Blackjack bet.

Perfect Pairs

The Perfect Pairs side bet gives you the chance to win if your first two cards comprise any pair — for example, two Queens, two Aces or two 3s. There are three types of pairs, each with a different payout:

• Perfect Pair — same suit, e.g., two Aces of Spades.
• Colored Pair — different suits of the same color, e.g. 2 of Diamonds + 2 of Hearts.
• Mixed Pair — different suits of a different color, e.g. 10 of Hearts + 10 of Clubs.

21+3

The 21+3 side bet gives you the chance to win if your first two cards plus the dealer’s up card comprise any of the following winning combinations (similar to those in poker), each with a different payout:

• Suited Trips — an identical triplet, e.g. 3x Queens of Hearts.
• Straight Flush — in numerical sequence and same suit, e.g. 10, Jack, and Queen of Diamonds.
• Three of a Kind— same value but of different suits, e.g. any 3 non-matching Kings.
• Straight — in numerical sequence but of different suits, e.g. 2 of Spades + 3 of Clubs + 4 of Hearts.
• Flush — non-sequential cards of the same suit, e.g. 2, 6 and 10 of Clubs.

Hot 3

The Hot 3 side bet allows you to bet on the combination of three cards, comprising your two first cards and the one open card on the dealer’s hand. There are several combinations for the Hot 3 side bet, each with a different payout:

• Total 19, for example: 8 of Hearts, 2 of Diamonds and 9 of Spades.
• Total 20, for example: 8 of Hearts, 2 of Diamonds and 10 of Spades.
• Total 21, suited, for example: 9 of Diamonds, 2 of Diamonds, and 10 of Diamonds.
• Total 21, unsuited, for example: 9 of Hearts, 2 of Diamonds and 10 of Spades.
• 7-7-7, for example: 7 of Hearts, 7 of Clubs, and 7 of Diamonds.

Bust-O-Rama

The Bust-O-Rama side bet allows you to bet that the total value of the dealer’s cards will exceed 21, i.e. the dealer will bust.

The Bust-O-Rama side bet is pushed if the player has Blackjack.

There are several combinations for the Bust-O-Rama side bet, each with a different payout:

• Bust with 3 cards.
• Bust with 4 cards.
• Bust with 5 cards.
• Bust with 6 cards.
• Bust with 7 cards.
• Bust with 8 cards or more.

The decision options are represented as follows:

• HIT: an additional card is drawn.
• STAND: no additional cards are drawn.
• DOUBLE: your bet is doubled and only one additional card is drawn.
• SPLIT: your bet is doubled, and your cards are split into two individual hands.

If you do not make a decision before the time expires, the following auto-decision will be applied:

• If the total card value of your hand is 11 or less, then — HIT.
• If the total card value of your hand is more than 11, then — STAND.

If your balance is insufficient for Double and Split, the corresponding buttons for those decisions will be disabled.

If your balance becomes insufficient before Double or Split decisions are accepted, then your preferred decisions will be rejected and the following auto-decision applied instead:

• If your decision was to Double, then — HIT.
• If your decision was to Split and the total card value of your hand is 11 or less, then — HIT.
• If your decision was to Split and the total card value of your hand is more than 11, then — STAND.
