Bet Stacker Blackjack 1 Slot Review

Game Rules

The goal of Classic Bet Stacker Blackjack 1 is to get a higher card value than the dealer without going over 21. The best hand in Blackjack is when the first two cards add up to exactly 21. You play only against the dealer, not other players, and have the opportunity to stack your bets and increase your winnings.

• The game is played with 8 decks.
• The dealer always stands on 17.
• The dealer checks for blackjack with an ace.
• The player is offered the option to cash out.
• Double the bet after the first 2 cards are dealt.
• No option to double the bet after a split.
• Splitting the first cards of equal value.
• Only one split per hand.
• One card is dealt for each ace in a split.
• The option to purchase insurance if the dealer has an open ace.
• Blackjack payouts are 3:2.
• Insurance payouts are 2:1.
• Tie in case of equal hands.

The game is played by a dealer, and up to 7 players can sit at the Blackjack table. It is also possible to place Bet Behind bets on players in any of these seats. This allows an unlimited number of players to participate in each game round, even if all seven seats are occupied.

The game is played with 8 standard decks of 52 cards each. In Blackjack, the cards have the following face values:

• cards from 2 to 10 are worth their face value;
• face cards (jack, queen, and king) are worth 10 points;
• the face value of an ace is either 1 or 11, whichever is more appropriate for the hand. Note that in a soft hand, an ace is worth 11.

After the betting time has expired, a bonus element is formed and the dealer deals each player one card face up. The deal begins with the first player to the left of the dealer, proceeds clockwise, and ends with the dealer. The dealer then deals each player a second card face up, but the dealer’s second card is dealt face down. The original hand’s point value is listed next to the cards.

If your initial two-card hand totals 21, you have blackjack!

Bonus Element

After the betting time has expired and before the first cards are dealt, the game generates a bonus element. It has a random rank, just like a regular playing card (A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q or K), and a monetary value based on your base bet. The monetary value is calculated by multiplying your base bet by a randomly generated multiplier (25%, 50%, 75% or 100%).

The dealer begins to deal cards to each player. If one or both of the player’s initial cards match the rank of the bonus element, the value of the bonus element is added to his main bet in an amount equal to the number of matches, and the bonus element changes its color to gold.

Players whose main bet has increased due to a Bonus Element match will have their chips highlighted in gold. This includes chips that have been placed as Bet Behind bets on other players who have matched.

Bet Booster Rules

You pay an additional Bet Booster fee of 10% for each main bet and Bet Behind bet. For example, if your bet is 10, the 10% fee applied is 1, increasing your total bet to 11. This allows you to increase your main bet if one of your starting cards matches the rank of the Bonus Element. The Bet Booster fee does not apply to doubles and splits.

Insurance

If the dealer’s up card is an Ace, you can purchase insurance to offset the risk that the dealer may have a blackjack, just like you. The insurance amount is equal to half of your main bet, and the insurance is calculated separately from your hand bet. The dealer then looks at his hole card to see if he has a blackjack. If the dealer does not have a blackjack, the round continues. If the dealer has a blackjack and you do not, the dealer’s hand wins. If both you and the dealer have a blackjack, the game ends in a tie and your bet is returned. Note that if the dealer’s up card is a 10, you cannot purchase insurance, and the dealer will not look at his hole card to see if he has a blackjack.

Double Up, More or Hold

If the dealer does not have a blackjack after checking the first two cards, players can take turns improving their hand totals. To do this, the dealer offers players additional cards in a clockwise order.

If your initial hand totals are not 21, you can choose to double down. In this case, you will double your main bet, which is the sum of your initial bet and the value of the bonus element received during the Bet Booster stage, and you will only be dealt one additional card. Alternatively, you can simply choose to have one more additional card, which will increase your hand total. You can request several additional cards until you are satisfied with your hand total and decide to hold. +

Split

If your initial hand contains a pair of cards of equal value, you can choose to split the pair into two different hands, each played for a stake equal to your main bet, which is made up of your initial bet plus the value of the bonus element you received during the Bet Booster stage. After the second card for each hand is dealt, you can increase the point total for each hand by choosing to deal an Extra Card. If you are satisfied with the point total for each hand, you can hold the cards. However, if you split a pair of Aces, you will only receive one extra card for each hand, with no chance of receiving additional cards.

Buy-back

After the cards are dealt, if the dealer does not have Blackjack, you will need to make a decision. One of the decisions you will be offered is a buyback: if you choose to buyback, the game for that hand will end and you will be paid back the amount shown on the Buyback decision button. The payout ratio for buyback varies depending on your point total for that hand and the dealer’s up card. The buyback rule only applies to your main bet. You can control the visibility of this option in the decisions panel in Settings.

Result

If your hand total exceeds 21, you bust and lose your bet for that hand. After all players have taken their turn, the dealer reveals his hole card. The dealer must stand if the hand value is 17 or more, and must choose “Stay” if the hand value is 16 or less. Note that in a soft hand, an ace is worth 11.

You win if the final value of your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand, or if the dealer busts. If your hand total is equal to the dealer’s hand, the round ends in a tie and your bet is returned.

If you choose to cash out, you will receive the amount listed on the “Cash Out” button when you receive this offer.

A blackjack is only possible after the first two cards have been dealt. A split pair hand that totals 21 is not considered a blackjack. Therefore, a blackjack beats any split pair hand that has a value of 21.

Side Bets

Blackjack also offers the option of placing Side Bets: Perfect Pairs and 21+3. Side bets can be made in combination with the main Blackjack bets. You can win on any side bet, regardless of whether you win on the Blackjack bet.

Perfect Pairs

The Perfect Pairs side bet gives you a chance to win if your first two cards form any pair, such as two queens, two aces, or two threes. There are three types of pairs, each with a specific payout:

• Perfect Pair of Spades – same suit, such as two aces
• Colored Pair – different suits of the same color, such as 2 diamonds + 2 hearts.
• Mixed Pair – different suits of different colors, such as 10 hearts + 10 clubs.

21+3

The 21+3 side bet gives you a chance to win if your first two cards and the dealer’s up card form one of the following winning combinations (similar to poker),
each of which provides a certain payout amount:

• A three of a kind – three identical cards, for example, three queens of hearts.
• Straight flush – in numerical sequence and in the same suit, for example, 10, jack and queen of diamonds.
• Three of a kind – the same value, but different suits, for example, any 3 kings.
• Straight – in numerical sequence, but with different suits, for example, 2 of spades + 3 of clubs + 4 of hearts.
• Flush – non-sequential cards of the same suit, for example, 2, 6 and 10 of clubs.

Bet Behind

The Bet Behind feature allows you to place a bet on another player’s hand. The outcome of the other player’s hand will apply to your bet as well. The Bet Booster fee is also charged on Bet Behind bets, and the payouts are the same as for regular bets.

You can use the Bet Behind feature whether or not you are sitting at a Blackjack table and are playing your own hand. However, you cannot place a bet on your own hand.

Place your bets in any activated Bet Behind betting spots near another player’s seat while the betting time is active.

If you place a bet using the Bet Behind feature and the player in your chosen seat decides not to participate in the round, your bet will be refunded to you immediately.

The nickname displayed next to each seat at the Blackjack table indicates the player who will make all decisions for that hand. However, you will be able to decide whether to take insurance if the dealer’s up card is an Ace. You can also decide in advance whether to double your bet if the player you bet on decides to double or split. If the player decides to Call, the same decision will be applied to your hand.

You can change these settings later by clicking the Settings button and selecting the BET BEHIND tab.

The Top Player icon helps you identify which of the people playing Blackjack with you has the longest winning streak to date.

The number shows how many rounds in a row the player has won. Note that once a “First Class Player” loses a round, he or she will also lose the “First Class Player” badge.

Payouts

• Blackjack pays out at a ratio of 3:2.
• Winning hand pays out at a ratio of 1:1.
• If the dealer has blackjack, insurance pays out at a ratio of 2:1.
• Cashout pays out 0.4-1.77x the bet.

Return to Player

The optimal theoretical return to player in percentage is:

• Blackjack – 99.29%*;
• Perfect Pairs bet – 95.90%;
• 21+3 bet – 96.30%.

The Return to Player (RTP) is calculated as a percentage of the initial bet and represents how much players can expect to get back over time based on their initial bet.

The theoretical return in percentage if you always accept the buyout offer is 96.80%.

A player’s chances of winning will depend on their skill and/or strategy.
