Blackjack Plus Perfect Pairs

Blackjack Perfect Pairs is a version of blackjack that adds a side betting feature. The main game is a straight forward "21" blackjack game, but in Blackjack Perfect Pairs you may place a side bet at the start of the round that your first two cards will be the same rank, and if they are, you win a huge additional bonus.

How to Play Blackjack Perfect Pairs

The object of the Blackjack Perfect Pairs game is to achieve a hand value that is closer to 21 than that of the dealer's without going over, and of course a hand that is a Perfect Pairs bonus winner.

Point Values

• 2 through 10 are worth their face value.
• Jacks, Queens and Kings are worth 10 points each.
• Aces are worth 1 point or 11 points, whichever makes a better hand.

Player’s Turn

In Blackjack Perfect Pairs, start by selecting the amount you want to bet for this round and decide if you want to play the side bet. To do this, click in the Perfect Pairs betting circle, and make your wager. Clicking Deal will start the round. You are dealt two cards face up and the dealer is dealt two cards, one face down and one face up.

Click Hit to be dealt another card to increase your hand total, or Click Stand to stick with cards in your hand and end your turn. Click Double if you want to double your bet and receive one additional card in your hand. If you haven’t already won by placing the side bet and were dealt a Pair, clicking Split will double your bet and turn your hand into two individual hands. You play each hand separately.

Dealer’s Turn

• The Dealer must hit on any hard or soft total of 16 or less.
• The Dealer must hit on a soft total of 17 or less.
• The Dealer must stand on a hard total of 17 or more.
• The Dealer must stand on any total of 18 or more.

You Win When

• You get Blackjack.
• Your hand is closer to 21 than the Dealer's hand and doesn’t go over 21.
• The Dealer's hand busts, while your hand stays within 21 points.
