At this point the dealer turns over his hole card.
If he hands totals a hard 17 (i.e..A,Q, is a hard 17) he must stand.

Online Blackjack players at Hera online casino have several betting and playing options:

Hit

This deals the player another card.
If your 2 cards total 10 or less, you have nothing to lose by requesting another card since your total could not exceed 21.

Stand

This means that the player is satisfied with his hand and does not want to risk another card.

Double Down

A player, after being dealt his first two cards, is always given the option to double the initial wager.
Once you have chosen to do this, click the "DOUBLE" button and you will be dealt a third card and no more.
Your hand will only consist of 3 cards.

Splitting

If you are dealt two cards with identical value you can then split them (i.e. 8,8 or 10,Q).
You would now be playing 2 separate hands, each starting with one of the two split cards.
You will now be dealt a second card to one of the hands.
After this hand is played out, the second hand will be dealt a second card and continued until that hand is played out.
All regular rules apply to each hand with the ability to double down.
You may only split your hand once and a new wager equal to the initial wager will be placed for each split hand.
A split hand Blackjack pays out at 1:1 rather the normal 3:2.

Insurance

If the dealer's first card is an Ace, there is a possibility that he may have a Blackjack.
The player can, if he believes the dealer's hidden card is a 10, insure himself against Blackjack.
If you choose to insure yourself you have to pay an amount of half of your stake.
If the dealer gets Blackjack, the insurance will pay 2:1 which corresponds to your original stake.
If you have insured yourself and the dealer does not get Blackjack then you lose your insurance.
Your ordinary stake is settled by whatever the dealer gets.
Therefore, insurance is to be considered a game of its own within Blackjack, and it gives the player a chance to protect himself, when he thinks that the dealer will get Blackjack.

Payoffs

Players win their wager if their total hand is higher than the dealer's without going over 21.
If the player busts, then the dealer wins the hand before turning over a card.
All hands that total less than the dealer's hand lose. Hands that are equal in value will be considered a tie, or a "push", and the player's original wager will leave the table.
If the player gets a Blackjack the payout will be at 3:2 rather than 1:1.
