Blackjack Millionaire Pro

Blackjack Millionaire Pro allows the player to play up to three hands of Blackjack at once along with a Millionaire side bet. The objective is to accumulate cards to get a total of 21 or as close to 21 as possible, without going over 21. The value of a hand is the sum of the point counts of all the cards in the hand. The Millionaire side bet game is triggered by achieving a Blackjack in the main game. Further consecutive blackjacks advance the player up in Millionaire ladder.

SIDE BETS:

 Side bet is a wager placed beyond the regular game to achieve an extra possible win.

“Millionaire Pro” Bet:

To participate in the Millionaire Pro side bet game a separate wager must be placed above the regular “Place Bet” in the “Millionaire Pro Bet” position.

• Side bets cannot be placed without placing a regular bet. All side bets can be placed at the same time.
• Placing a wager on the Millionaire Pro Bet panel brings the “Millionaire Pro Bet” into play.
• The Millionaire side bet game is triggered by achieving a Blackjack in the main game.
• Further consecutive blackjacks advance the player up in Millionaire Ladder.

• The bet amounts allowed on the side bet are C$1,C$2,C$3,C$4,C$5 (or its equivalent amount in player’s currency).The multiplier won on the Millionaire ladder is multiplied by the side bet amount wagered based on the number of consecutive Blackjacks achieved by the player on that hand.
• If a Blackjack is not achieved while the feature is active, the player is awarded the current position in the ladder.

• Once the player places bet on Millionaire Ladder to win the multiplier awarded in ladder player needs to continue to bet on the same hand where millionaire ladder is active. If player gets Blackjack in next game, then position in the Ladder will be UP and this process will continue until the max multiplier in ladder is reached. If player doesn't receive blackjack continuously the multiplier which he has won in the previous game will be awarded in the current round.

• The value of a hand is the sum of the individual card’s value. Blackjack is the highest hand and consists of two cards: An Ace and any 10-point card. Blackjack beats a score of 21.
• Player can choose 1 to 3 hands to play on in a game round. The chosen hands are played clockwise, starting from player’s rightmost hand. The dealer's hand is played last. Player may Split, Double and take Insurance, just like in standard Blackjack.

• When the player wins the bet amount plus the payout amount is paid.

Millionaire Blackjack Pro is a variant of Blackjack with the following rules:

• 8 decks of cards are used. After each round, used cards are returned to the deck and the deck is shuffled.
• Aces count as either 1 or 11, face cards count as 10 and number cards count at their face values.
• The Dealer will only check for Blackjack, if the Dealer's first card is an ace, king, queen, jack or 10.
• The player may not split a Split hand.
• Only one card is drawn to each Ace in a split hand.
• Ace and a 10-point card after a split are considered 21, and not Blackjack.
• The player may double after splitting except for split for aces.
• Depending on the strength of player’s card, player can choose from the following options offered: “Hit”, “Stand”, “Double”, “Split”
• Blackjack pays 1.5 times the bet amount (3 to 2).
• If the total value of the Player’s cards is closer to 21 than the Dealer's after the dealer has stopped taking cards, the player wins the bet amount (1 to 1).
• If the total of the Player's cards is more than 21, the player's hand is “Bust”, and the player automatically loses the bet for that hand.
• If the Player and the Dealer have the same point total (17 to 21), neither of them wins and the player's bet is returned to the player in a “Push”.
• The Dealer always draws to 16. The Dealer stands when the dealer's hand has a value of 17 or greater (including soft 17). The Dealer does not draw when the player is “Bust”.
• Blackjack beats a score of 21.

SPLIT:

If player’s first 2 cards have the same value, then player may split them into 2 separate hands. The second hand will have the same bet as the hand it was split from. Player will then draw additional cards to each hand. Player may draw as many cards as player likes on each split hand, unless player splits 2 aces (in which case player can receive only 1 additional card for each ace). If player receives an ace and a 10-value card in a split hand, it is considered as 21 and not Blackjack.

If player takes Insurance, then an amount equal to half of the player’s original bet will be deducted from player’s balance and placed separately on the table. If the dealer has Blackjack, player is paid 2 to 1 on insurance. This way player does not lose original bet (because player receive the value of original bet plus the insurance amount back). If the dealer does not have Blackjack, player lose the insurance amount. Insurance does not affect any side bets.

Click on YES for this hand, the player will receive the same amount (1:1) for the Blackjack, without the Dealer’s face-down card even being exposed, thus protecting the player from a possible Dealer’s Blackjack. The player may also click on NO for this hand. If the Dealer does not have a blackjack, the player will be paid at a normal relation of 3:2 for the Blackjack.

• If player has an Ace and a 10-valued card after splitting, the hand value is 21 only and not BLACKJACK. If the 21-valued hand wins, it is paid at odds of 1:1.
