How to Play Blackjack Calgary Flames

Blackjack Calgary Flames is an online variant of the classic card game that puts you on the felt with your favourite team. The objective is to beat the dealer by reaching a score as close to 21 as possible.

To place your bets playing a Blackjack Calgary Flames game, select a chip from the bottom left of the table. Place the chip as a bet by clicking on the indicated circle in the centre of the table. Clicking again will place another chip of the same value. You can place chips of different values if you wish by going back and re-selecting a chip. Select the UNDO button to remove the last placed chip. Select CLEAR to remove all bets and start again.

When ready, select DEAL to confirm your bet and start the game that gives you Blackjack with Calgary’s best – right here at the table.

You will be dealt 2 cards face-up. The dealer will receive 1 face-up card and 1 face-down card.

Cards are scored according to their face value, e.g., 2 of Clubs is scored as 2. King, Queen and Jack are scored as 10. Ace is scored as 11 or 1, depending on the configuration of the hand.

The goal of playing Blackjack Calgary Flames is to get a score of 21 or as close to 21 as possible. You can draw further cards, provided that you do not go bust (score 22 or higher).

You will be offered the following options after the initial deal:
STAND – Play out the round with the current cards.
HIT – Receive another card.
DOUBLE DOWN – Receive one more card, double the bet, and play out the round.

The dealer will reveal their cards once you have played out your hand. The dealer is bound by specific rules – you can view them by selecting the RULES button – including standing on all 17s. The RULES section also provides details on player rules. These include the option of splitting (splitting your hand into 2 separate hands when 2 cards of the same value are drawn) and resplitting (splitting a hand that has already been split).

Bets will be settled when the dealer plays their hand. Winning Blackjack Calgary Flames bets are paid 1:1 when you beat the dealer. You can beat the dealer if the dealer goes bust (exceeds 21) or you have a superior score of 21 or below. A push is declared and bets are returned if you finish the round with the same score as the dealer. The dealer wins if you go bust or have a lower score.

The Blackjack hand is made up of an Ace and 10 (Jack, Queen, King). Blackjack will beat all other hands. A winning Blackjack hand will pay 3:2 on your bet.

Insurance is offered if the dealer’s face-up card is an Ace. Insurance is a side bet on the prospect of the dealer having Blackjack. The Insurance bet is equal to half the initial stake and pays 2:1, thereby covering the bet if the dealer has Blackjack and the main hand loses. The Insurance bet is lost if the dealer does not have blackjack, and the game plays out as normal.

The following options will be offered after the game round ends:
REBET – Place the same bets as the previous round.
REBET & DEAL – Place the same bets as the previous round, confirm, and start the game.
NEW GAME – Start a new game from scratch.
