How to play Vegas Blackjack

Chips are valued as displayed on the interface in the bottom left hand corner, click on the value of the chip you wish to use, the chip will then attach itself to your mouse cursor. If you selected a chip that is less than the table minimum, the first click on the betting circle will place the minimum bet. Each time you click on the bet circle, a chip of the selected value will be placed in the circle.

In Vegas Blackjack, you may bet on up to five hands per game round. To place a chip on all five circles with one click, hold down the 'ctrl' button and click on one of the betting spots.

Clicking on 'Deal' will accept your bets and begin dealing the cards. On your second and subsequent hands the 'Re-bet' button will be available; this is the same for the 'Re-bet and Deal' button.
