Blackjack, also known as “21,” is perhaps Hollywood Casino Tunica’s most popular game. You have Blackjack when your first two cards are an Ace and a 10-value card. This pays 3 to 2. Otherwise, the object of the game is to reach a point total as close to 21 as possible without going over. Hands closer to 21 than the dealer’s win. Hands not closer to 21 than the dealer’s or hands that accumulate a point total exceeding 21 lose. Jacks, Queens and Kings have a face value of 10. Aces have a value of either 1 or 11.

If the dealer’s total is 16 or less, he or she must take “hits” until his or her cards total at least 17. If you and the dealer tie, it’s called a “push,” and you don’t win or lose. Dealer hits soft 17 (Ace + 6).

• You may double down on any two cards except for 21. This is done by placing an additional wager (up to the total amount of your initial bet) next to your original bet. You will receive only one additional card.
• If your first two cards are a pair, you may split them into two hands by placing an equal amount next to your original bet. If the next card makes a pair, you may split again, for a total of four hands. Split Aces get only a one-card draw. A 10-value card on a split Ace counts as 21, but not Blackjack.
• If the dealer’s face-up card is an Ace, you may make an additional wager that the dealer has Blackjack. Insurance bets are made by placing up to half your original bet on the insurance line, prior to the dealer checking his or her face-down card. If the dealer has Blackjack, your insurance bet pays 2 to 1. If you choose not to get insurance and the dealer has Blackjack, you lose.
