 This game is a modification of Blackjack, so if you are familiar
with Blackjack, you will have no trouble mastering this game.
There are some important differences from the standard Blackjack
however, so please first read the Blackjack Switch Rules , return
to this page after you have learned the rules.
To play the game:
- Select a chip by clicking on it. Now click on a bet area
to increase your bet by the chip amount. Every click on the
bet area increases your bet, every right-click decreases your
bet.
- There are two kinds of bet areas - normal and 'Super Match'
bet. Normal bet area is any of the two larger areas, 'Super
Match' bet area is the small area. Remember that by clicking
on the normal bet area, you actually place two identical bets - one
for each of your hands.
- After you have placed your bets, click the Deal button.
- Use the Hit, Stand, Double, Split,Insurance and Switch buttons
as required.
- Please note that if you want to Switch, you need to do so
before starting to play your first hand. After using Hit, Split,
Double or Insurance buttons, you cannot Switch. Also please
note that Insurance, Double and Split buttons require an additional
wager, as described in the rules. You are not able to use these
buttons, if you do not have sufficient balance.
- 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.
Super Match
This is an optional bet, you do not need to place a super bet
to play the game. To place a super bet, place the chip(s) in

(pair of Jacks, three Aces etc.) The win ratios are written on

Blackjack Switch Rules
The object of Blackjack Switch is for the total of your cards
in either hand to be closer to 21 than the dealer's cards, without
exceeding 21. Card values are the same as in standard Blackjack - aces
count as either 1 or 11, face cards as 10, and number cards as
their face value.
The rules are the same as in standard Blackjack (see here).
Except you have two hands, which you play in turn - first the
right and then the left one, then the dealer plays his hand.
You may split, double, take insurance etc. just like in standard
Blackjack. An exception from the standard Blackjack is that the
dealer always hits soft 17 - meaning he always draws one more
card when he has 17 with an ace counted as 11. Also, 'Blackjacks'
pay 1/1 instead of 3/2 although more 'Blackjacks' are created
due to the 'switching' option. (See below). Another exception
is that Blackjack rule no. 5 ("If the player doubles and the
dealer's first card is of value 10, and the dealer gets blackjack,
the player loses only the initial bet.") does not apply in Blackjack
Switch.
Switch
Prior to any hits, you may switch the top cards of your two
hands.
Push 22
Dealer will "push" on a total of 22 (except 'Blackjacks' will
still win). This means that whenever the
dealer's total reaches 22 then all bets are 'pushed', regardless
of their total except if a player has a 'Blackjack', which will
still win.
Super Match
The small circle between the standard bet areas is the super
bet area. The super bet wins if your initial 4 cards contain
2 or more matching cards. For example, if your right hand is
a Queen and a Six, and your left hand a Queen and a King, you
have a pair and your super bet wins. The win ratios are written
on the table.
Summary Of Rules
- Dealer Hits Soft 17
- 'Blackjacks' pay 1/1
- Switch top cards of the two hands
- All doubles and splitting allowed
- Dealer pushes on 22 (except Blackjacks will still win)
