Multi-Hand Blackjack Classic is a variation of regular Blackjack. It is a game of skill and chance, and the player has a good opportunity of emerging the overall winner if he/she plays with the right strategy. The game is played with five decks of 52 cards each, and the player can choose to play one, two, three, four or five hands at the same time.
Depending on the number of hands that are being played, one card in each hand is dealt to both the player and the dealer. The player then receives an additional card, while the dealer only receives the additional card once the gamer’s hands have all been played.
The object of the game is to make the highest possible card total without exceeding 21 on any hand. If the total of the initial two cards is under 21, the player can then request a “Hit” or an additional card. The player can continue to request for hits until he/she goes “bust” (total exceeds 21) or the total reaches 21.
If the player is dealt a Blackjack, which is an ace and another card of value 10, then the dealer automatically loses. Once the player has played all hands, the dealer then draws the second card, and continues to draw cards until he goes bust. If the dealer’s total exceeds 17, and he does not go bust, the player’s cards are compared with that of the dealer and the higher total wins.
