Played with 5 regular decks of 52 cards which is shuffled before every hand is dealt. The dealer has hits on a soft 17, and blackjack beats any hand with the value of 21.
has an feature which has a built in strategy card that works on a normal 5 deck strategy which is automatically applied when you select Expert mode, then auto play. If you have your own Blackjack Strategy worked out then, you can configure the strategy card to suit the game YOU want to play. Your actions will then automatically be applied to the hand you are dealt on the Big Five Blackjack Gold Table. Your hands played are also recorded and you can review your play in real time.
This game has a great option which means that you are allowed to surrender half your original bet and thereby evade having to play a hand that could potentially lose you money.

- You can split any two cards that have the same value. You then have two hands and you place a bet equivalent to the bet of you first hand onto the second hand.
- You can split your hand three times which will leave you with a total of four hands. Aces are excluded from this rule and can only be split once.
- After you have split a pair of aces and then draw a card that has the value of 10 then this hand will not count as Blackjack but will instead have the value of 21. Contrary to splitting aces the rule also stands, if you had to split a pair of 10’s. You will have 21 and not Blackjack if you had to draw an ace at this point.
- You will only be dealt one card if you had to split a pair of aces. You would then automatically stand.
- You are allowed to Double Down on any two cards which is the equivalent to the original bet you wagered.
- You can Double Down after a Split
- You can not Double Down if you have a Blackjack
Insurance is not relevant to any hands after you have Split or once you have Doubled Down and Insurance will pay you out with 2:1 odds. If the Dealer does not finish with a Blackjack then, you will lose the value of the Insurance bet.
You have the option to surrender before the Dealer has dealt his second card whereby you will be giving up half of your original bet for the opportunity of not having to play out the rest of the hand. However, you only have the option of surrender provided the Dealer’s first card is between 2 and 10 and you will not be given the opportunity to surrender when the dealer draws a first card Ace.
