We offer six deck Online Blackjack Surrender. If you are not familiar with Blackjack Surrender, proceed straight to the Blackjack Surrender Rules below.
To Play The Online Blackjack Surrender Game:
- Click on chips to increase your bet. Every click on a chip increases your bet by the chip value, and every right-click decreases the bet.
- Click the Deal button.
- If the dealer shows an Ace, you are offered insurance. Click the Insurance button to insure against the dealer having Blackjack.
- Use the Hit, Stand, Surrender, Double and Split buttons as required.
- Please note that Insurance, Double and Split require additional bets. If your balance does not have enough money to cover these expenses, the buttons will be disabled.
- If you want to play another round, press New Game. Then place a bet as described above and click the Deal button, or click Rebet to place the same bet as in the previous round.
Multihand: You can also play this game in Multihand mode. Select "Multihand" in the casino lobby when starting the game. You can play with up to five hands simultaneously. Place bets by clicking on the different bet areas. You can play one hand only if you wish, or any number of hands up to five. Every hand may have a different bet amount.
Multiplayer and Private Group Modes: In Multiplayer and Private Group Modes, several players sit at the same table. To join a Private Group, you need to know its name.
Keep in mind that:
- After a period of inactivity the player will see a 15 second countdown. If the player has not made his decision when the countdown is over, he will automatically stand (or skip a deal).
- If a player is disconnected from the Internet during a game, he will be removed from the table. Once that player logs back in, he will be taken to a single-player version of the game with his last hand dealt to him, so he can finish his game.

Online Blackjack Surrender Rules
The object of Online Blackjack Surrender is for the total of your cards to be closer to 21 than the dealer's cards, without exceeding 21. In Blackjack, aces count as either 1 or 11, face cards as 10, and number cards at their face value.
If you receive an ace and a ten-value card as your first two cards, you have Blackjack and win 1.5 times your bet (if your bet was $10, you receive $25). If the total value of your cards is closer to 21 than the dealer's, you win your bet amount (if your bet was $10, you receive $20). If the total of your cards is more than 21, you "bust" and lose your bet. If you and the dealer have the same card total (17 and up) neither of you win and your bet is returned to you in a "push". Blackjack beats a score of 21.
Our Blackjack follows the standard "Las Vegas Strip" rules, with the following exceptions:
- After each round, used cards are returned to the deck and the deck is shuffled.
- The player may not split a split hand.
- Only one card is drawn to split aces.
- The player may double after splitting.
- The dealer will check for Blackjack if he is showing an ace or a ten-value card.
- The player can surrender on the first two cards, after dealer checks for Blackjack. If you surrender, you lose half your bet and the game round is over.
Split If your first two cards have the same value, you may split them into two separate hands by placing a second bet equal to the original bet. You will then draw additional cards to each hand. You may draw as many cards as you like on each split hand, but if you split two aces, you receive only one additional card for each ace. If you receive an ace and a ten-value card in a split hand, it is considered 21 and not Blackjack.
Double If, after you are dealt your first two cards, you think that the third card will allow you to beat the dealer’s hand, you can double your bet. The bet amount becomes twice the original (with the difference taken out of your balance), and you are dealt one more card.
Insurance If the dealer shows an Ace in his initial hand, you are given a chance to insure your bet against him having a Blackjack. If you get Insurance, an amount equal to half your original bet is placed separately on the table. If the dealer does have Blackjack, you are paid 2 to 1 on your insurance. This way you do not lose your original bet (because you get the 2x half your original bet, plus the insurance amount back). If the dealer does not have Blackjack, you lose the insurance amount, even if you end up losing.
7 Card Charlie It is theoretically possible for the player to draw 7 cards without going bust. In this case the player’s hand automatically wins, except when the dealer has Blackjack.
