HOW TO PLAY

When you begin a new game of Multihand Blackjack, you will be dealt two cards face up for every hand that you are playing from 1 – 5. The dealer's first card is dealt face up, and the second card is dealt face down. Once you've assessed your cards and the dealer’s upcard, it's decision time. Your goal is clear: Beat the dealer’s hand total without exceeding 21. Sure, blackjack is a great winning hand with just 2 cards, but it's not necessary to beat the dealer. Any hand value greater than the dealer’s hand value will suffice.

Once you go over 21, you automatically lose. If the dealer has blackjack, you lose unless you have blackjack then it's a push. Remember all the actions available to you? You can Hit, Stand/Stay, Double Down, Split, or play the Insurance bet depending on the dealer’s upcard. You can hit as many times as you need to. But remember, if you exceed 21, you automatically lose. You can also Stand on any hand total, but make it a good one. As soon as you have played your hand, it's the dealer’s turn. The blackjack dealer must draw cards until their hand total is at least 17.

You can get your Multihand Blackjack session off to a flying start by making sure you play the minimum bet per hand. Since you can play multiple hands simultaneously, be sure to have enough firepower in your bankroll. If this is your first time playing at 888casino Canada, claim your welcome bonus to boost your stash of cash. Next, place your bets. If you decide to play all 5 blackjack hands per game, you are allowed to bet the maximum on each hand – how cool is that? We advocate responsible gaming, so always play within your means. Next, choose one of three options: Deal, Clear, or Clear All.

If you are happy with your bet selections, including the number of hands you're playing, simply click the Deal button. A single card will be dealt face up to each of the hands that you are playing first, and then one card will be dealt face up to the dealer. A second card will be dealt face up to each of the hands you are playing, and a second card will be dealt to the dealer face down. What's going to be? Hit or Stand? If you hit and bust, you lose that hand. If your hand total is less than 21, but greater than the dealer’s hand total, you win that hand. The size of your payday is dependent on the size of your bets.

An interesting thing happens if your hand total is equal to the dealer’s hand total – it's a Push. Your money will be returned to you. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, but doesn't exceed 21, you win. This same rationale is applied to each of the hands that you're playing. Once you've concluded Hitting, Standing, Doubling, or Splitting, it's the dealer’s turn to act. The strength of your hands will be evaluated the against the strength of the dealer’s hand, one by one. You will get paid out for every winning hand and forfeit your bets for every losing hand.

This Multihand Blackjack game is fully customizable. You can turn the background beats on-off as you wish. You can switch table colors if you’re looking to jazz things up, and you can even max your screen size by clicking the square with four inward-pointing arrows. It's all on you player. You'll see your available balance in the game alongside the deposit symbol. Since you’re playing multiple hands at the same time, it's best to play Multihand Blackjack in demo mode first. The tempo of the game is much faster than Classic Blackjack, and you need more focus to keep it straight. Practice makes perfect – test your blackjack prowess with free Multihand Blackjack games online.

MULTIHAND BLACKJACK CARD VALUES

Aces – 1 or 11 – it's your call
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 – nominal value
10, Jack, Queen, King – all valued at 10

Hit – take another card.
Stand/Stay – don't take another card and stick with your hand total.
Bust – any hand total over 21 automatically busts and loses.
Hard Hand – any blackjack hand that includes an Ace valued at 1, or no Ace at all. As an example, consider Ace + 7 + 10 = Hard 18.
Soft Hand - any blackjack hand that includes an Ace valued at 11 is a soft hand. It's soft because the Aces can assume a value of 1 or 11. For example, Ace + 9 = Soft 20.
Double Down – once you've looked at your first two cards, you can choose the Double Down option, and draw 1 more card. It'll cost you the same amount as your original bet. After that card is dealt, that's your hand total. If you have already split your cards, you can Double Down on both hands.
Split Hands - when you receive your first two cards face up, and they are identical (Queen-Queen, 2-2, etc.), you can Split the cards into separate hands and play them as individual hands. When you do so, the cost of splitting hands is the same as the original bet for every hand that you play. You can then hit, stand, or double down. Take note that a pair of pocket rockets that are split cannot form blackjack even if you draw a 10-value card. It will be 21, but it won't beat the dealer blackjack.
Insurance Bets – once you've received your two cards face up, and you see the dealer's face up card, you may be eligible for an insurance bet. If the dealer’s upcard is an Ace, you can play the insurance bet at 50% of the cost of your original bet. Insurance pays 2:1, although it is regarded as a sucker bet in blackjack since there are only 4 ways for the dealer to have blackjack, and 9 ways for the dealer not to have blackjack.
Push - A Push is a tie. It happens when your hand and the dealer’s hand are equal value. Your bet will remain on the table, and a new game of Multihand Blackjack will be dealt.

Each round of play in Multihand Blackjack features 6 decks of cards. There are 52 cards in every deck, and 312 cards in play. Of course, the cards are dealt from a blackjack shoe. They will be automatically shuffled after every round. You begin your gaming session at 888casino Canada by placing your bet. You can choose from a wide range of chip denominations, starting with C$1, C$5, C25, or C$100. Once you've selected your chip size, place your bets, and click Deal.

The dealer will get things going. At this point, you cannot change your chip size. You can however place additional bets as the game progresses. Your action options include Hitting (no bet needed), Doubling, Splitting, or taking Insurance. Don't worry about knowing when to use these buttons – they will be presented to you when applicable. As an example, if the dealer’s up card isn't an Ace, you won't be able to take Insurance.

In Multihand Blackjack, as in Classic Blackjack, and other variants of the game you first have to finish your hand before the dealer acts. Two face up cards will be dealt to you, and only one face up card to the dealer. The dealer’s other card is face down. Your goal is simply to beat the dealer's hand total without exceeding 21. If the dealer has blackjack and you don't, you lose. If your hand total is over 21, you lose and forfeit your bets for every hand that you bust. Since you’re playing Multihand Blackjack every hand is assessed on its merits.
