Gameplay
Payout
Blackjack in Vegas Infinite uses a 6-deck shoe, shuffled in the middle of the shoe.
Betting
During the Betting Phase, each player bets a value between the Minimum and maximum allowed at the tables.
Gameplay
Each player is dealt two cards face up, while the dealer receives one card face up and one card face down.
Each card is assigned a point value: 2 through 10 are worth their face value, face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth 10 points, and Aces can be worth 1 or 11 points, depending on the player's choice.
Players can choose to "Hit" (take another card) or "Stand" (keep their current hand) in an effort to get as close to 21 as possible without going over.
If a player's hand exceeds 21, they "Bust" and lose their bet.
After all players have finished their turns, the dealer reveals their face-down card and must hit until their hand totals at least 17.
If the dealer busts, all remaining players win.
If the dealer's hand is higher than a player's hand without exceeding 21, the dealer wins.
If a player's hand has the same value as the dealer's hand, it's a "Push" and the player neither wins nor loses.
If a player has a two-card hand that totals 21 (an Ace and a 10-point card), this is called a "Blackjack" and the player wins 1.2x their original bet
If the dealer also has Blackjack, it is a Push.
Payout
Payout occurs after each round of gameplay.
