Premium Atlantic City Blackjack

Premium Atlantic City is a variant of Blackjack that gives you a better chance of winning than in some other versions of the game, because only four decks are used.

Game Rules

Different to some other Blackjack games, four 52-card decks are shuffled together and dealt at the start of each hand.

Dealers receive one hole card, and check for Blackjack if their hole card is an ace or a card with a value of ten. They will stand on a soft 17 (a hand featuring an ace that totals either seven or 17). Should you hit Blackjack you will be paid at 3:2 odds.

More betting options become available as the hand progresses. For instance, players can double down on any two-card hand. This means you can double your initial bet, so long as you are committed to ‘standing’ after receiving one additional card from the dealer.

Players can also split two cards if they are paired or of equal value. So if you are dealt eight-eight, two-two, king-jack, queen-ten, or other similar combinations, you can create two hands for an additional wager of the same amount. Here are some additional rules on splitting:

  • You may split once for two hands in total
  • Aces receive only one card on each split hand
  • You may double down on any two-card hand, including after a non-ace pair split.

Single Player Tables

Our Single Player tables allow you to play up to five betting positions (or ‘boxes’) per game round. Just click on one or more boxes to place a wager.

On our Single Player tables the action proceeds at your pace, without a timer to hurry you along. Bet sizes can be selected easily by using the chip icons, the slider or by typing an amount you wish to wager. Click on Clear to start again, or Deal to commit the bet and start the hand. After the hand is complete, use the Re-Bet button to repeat the same wager on the next hand.

Insurance and Surrender

Players are allowed to ‘surrender’ in Premium Atlantic City. This means you can surrender your two-card hand and receive half your original wager back, unless the dealer is showing an ace.

If you think the dealer is about to hit Blackjack, you can also buy ‘insurance’. This means should the dealer hit Blackjack, you’ll be paid 2:1 on your bet.

The theoretical return to player (RTP) for Premium Atlantic City Blackjack is 99.69%.

Please note that malfunction voids all pay-outs.
