The aim is to beat the Dealer's hand by either getting a better hand (without exceeding 21) or by the Dealer's hand going bust. Blackjack is when your hand contains an Ace and a card with a value of ten. It is the strongest hand in Blackjack, and automatically stands. It cannot be beaten, only matched.

All face cards - Jacks, Kings and Queens have a value of 10. Aces can have a value of either 1 or 11. You decide what value is more beneficial to your hand.

You may draw up to nine additional cards to make a hand of eleven cards, provided the value of your hand does not exceed 21. If your hand does not exceeded 21 after receiving eleven cards, your hand automatically stands, and the Dealer plays his hand. The Dealer stands on all hands with the value of 17 and draws on all hands with the value of 16.

When your hand and the Dealer's hand tie, it is called a Push. You are paid back your original bet. If both the Dealer and your hand have Blackjack, this is also considered a push and you are paid out your original bet amount. If the Dealer gets Blackjack after you have split or doubled, your entire bet - both the original and double or split amounts, are lost.

To play a game of Blackjack at Twist Online, do the following:
1. Click a chip to select the chip size you want to bet.

2. Place your chip on one or several empty area on the table depending on how many players you want to play for.

3. Click the Deal button. A hand of two cards is dealt to you, and one card is dealt to the Dealer. Depending on the cards you are dealt and the game rules, different betting options are available. More than one option can be performed, or one option repeated depending on the stage of the game.

4. a) Click Double to increase the amount of the bet after twe first two cards are dealt
    b) Click the Hit button. You are dealt one card.
    c) Click "Stand" to end your turn.

5) When the dealer's up card is an Ace or 10, the Player may buy insurance from the possible "Black Jack". To buy insurance you may press the "Insurance" button. Insurance is non-obligatory additional amount equal to half of the Player's original bet. If after the player has bought insurance the Dealer has Blackjack, the insurance bet pays 2 to 1, in other cases the insurance bet loses. In fact, when the insurance wins the player recovers his bets.

6) If two cards are of the same point value the player may split the first two cards into two separate hands (the "Split" button). In that case the player has to place one more bet that is equal to the first one. After the split the player continues to take cards for every bet. As an exception, "spited Aces" can get only one additional card each. When 10 is drawn to an Ace or an Ace is dealt to 10 this combination is not regarded as "Black Jack" but as 21. The player may also double his bet during the split, with the exception of splitting of two Aces.

7) Once you have completed your betting options, your hand and the Dealer's hand are compared. The hand with the highest value wins and the winnings are paid. Click New Game to play once again.
