4. Tell me more about the Blackjack game?  

Short Description 

In the My Poker Online Casino Blackjack game you are competing against a dealer (the house) along with other participating players (up to three). Our game is unique in that, just like a real casino, you may choose to play with other live players. We feature both private and public tables. On a public table there are up to three players simultaneously. On a private table you may choose to play alone or with players of your choice - up to three players! All players wishing to play at the same table must enter the same "group name" in the "group table" field. 

The players and the dealer are each dealt two cards with the goal of reaching 21 without going over. The player may draw as many cards as he/she wants until reaching 21. If the player draws a card that puts him/her over 21 (which is called a "bust"), he/she loses the hand. A winning hand adds up to more than the dealer's hand without "busting". 

Playing Blackjack & Rules  

Our Blackjack game has a dealer and one to three players (as described above). The dealer deals from a shoe containing four decks of playing cards. Before the deal begins, the players place their bets by double clicking on either the $1 chip, $5 chip, $10 chip or the $50 chip to reach the desired bet. After deciding on the desired bet the player must click the "Continue" button to proceed with the hand. The round must begin after all participating players have laid their bets and have clicked the "Continue" button.  

Once the deal begins the bets may not be changed. During the course of the hand players may add to their bets through double downs, splits, and insurance. After the cards are dealt, the dealer will ask each player, what action he/she wishes to take. Buttons located on the lower left side of the screen will appear in order to facilitate betting. For example, if it is possible to split two cards a button will appear to allow the player to split the cards. The player simply clicks on the "Split" button to facilitate the splitting of the cards. 

The minimum initial bet is $1 and the maximum initial bet is $250. Each player receives two cards face up and the dealer receives one card face up. The player may request as many cards until he/she busts out. If a player is dealt Black Jack, which is a 10 or face card along with an Ace, he/she immediately gets paid 1.5 times the placed bet unless the dealer also has Blackjack in which case it is a "push" (you neither win nor lose your bet). 

After all the players' bets are completed, the dealer completes his hand. If the dealer has sixteen or less, he must draw a card (hit), until he reaches seventeen or more. If the dealer's card total exceeds 21 (bust), he must pay all players still in the game.  

Notes: 

· Should a player fail to place a bet within the set default time, the hand will continue without his/her participation. 
· Should a player fail to click the "continue" button within the set default time, he/she will automatically be dealt two cards and the hand will continue. 
· In case of failure to click the "continue" button due to disconnection, the disconnection rules shall apply.

In the Roulette game the player places a bet on a number, color, or group of numbers on the Roulette table. The Roulette ball is spun, and winnings are determined by the slot on the Roulette wheel where the ball finally stops. The amount of the payoff depends on how the bet was placed.  

 Playing the My Poker Online Casino Roulette game is very simple. The table represented is the same table found in casinos around the world. Our Roulette table is marked with the numbers "0" and "1-36" (we do not have a "00"). The numbers are alternately colored red and black with "0" colored green.

    9. What happens if I am suddenly disconnected from your casino?  

    Unfortunately, sudden disconnection may occur on the Internet due to communication problems. We have designed our software to cope with such incidents in a manner that will protect our clients from unjustifiable loss, while eliminating the possibility of intentional disconnection and system abuse. 

    For the specific rules of disconnection for each game click: Blackjack, Slots, Roulette, Video Poker, Baccarat. 

    Blackjack 

    If you are dealt twelve or more and the connection is terminated before the hand is finished, the play will continue, including your hand, which will be considered a "stand". After you re-connect you will see if you had won or lost the bet.  
    If you are dealt eleven or less and the connection is terminated before the hand is finished, the bet will be returned. Should a disconnection occur after a "Split", both hands will be treated according to the higher hand. For example: if the higher hand totals 12 or more, play will continue with both hands, and after you re-connect you will see if you had won or lost the bet. If the higher hand totals 11 or less, the bet on both hands will be returned. 

    Slot Machine 

    Should a disconnection occur before pulling the lever but after a bet was placed, your bet will be returned. Should a disconnection occur after a bet was placed and the lever has been pulled, the play will continue. After you reconnect you will see if you had won or lost the bet.  

    Roulette 

    If you have already placed a bet and the connection was terminated before the ball lands, the play will continue. After you reconnect you will see if you had won or lost the bet.  

    In some extreme cases during very slow communication, the roulette wheel may show the previous result, while on the top of your screen there will appear a different result. The correct result is the one appearing on the top of your screen. 

    Video Poker    

    Should a disconnection occur after the player has placed money in his credit box, but before selecting the amount of coins desired for the next round, the money will be returned to the bankroll . 

    Should a disconnection occur after the player placed a bet but before clicking the "deal/draw" button, the bet will be returned to the bankroll. 
      
    Should a disconnection occur after the player clicked on the "deal/draw" button, but before the player had a chance to select the cards to be held, the round will be considered as if the player had selected to hold all the cards. If that hand presented a winning combination, the player's bankroll will be adjusted accordingly. 

    Baccarat 

    Should a disconnection occur throughout the game, your bet will be returned to your bankroll.
