Multibox Blackjack is played with four standard decks of 52 cards (Jokers not included). Number cards, 2-10, count as face value. Face cards, kings, queens and jacks, are equal in value to 10 and aces are valued at either 1 or 11. No particular significance is given to any of the 4 suits. Play takes place against a computerized dealer. The dealer is dealt two cards, and the player is dealt two cards in each box. The player’s cards are dealt face up, while only the dealer’s first card is shown. A player can choose an additional card by clicking HIT. A player may repeat this as many times as he likes so long as the total of his cards does not exceed 21. If the total surpasses 21, it is considered a “bust” and the player automatically loses. Once a player is satisfied with the cards he is holding, he should click STAND. This is repeated for all the boxes the player is playing. After the player is finished, it is the dealer’s turn to reveal his face down card and decide whether he would like to take another card. The dealer must have cards totaling 17 or more. Once the dealer is satisfied with the cards he is holding, the winner is decided. If the player’s card total is greater than the dealer’s, or if the dealer busts then the player is the winner. If the player’s card total is the same as the dealer it is considered a “push” and the player does not lose his bet.
