Shreveport Blackjack Rules and Information

Blackjack, also known as "21" is played on 29 tables at Eldorado Shreveport, making it the casino's most played game. You have Blackjack when your first two cards are an Ace and a 10-value card. (This pays 3 to 2.) Otherwise, the object of the game is to reach a point total as close to 21 as possible without going over. Hands that are closer to 21 than the dealer’s win. Hands that are not closer to 21 than the dealer’s or hands that accumulate a point total exceeding 21 lose. Jacks, Queens and Kings have a face value of 10. Aces have a value of either one or 11. If the dealer's total is 16 or less, he or she will take "hits" until his or her cards total at least 17. If you and the dealer tie, it's a "push," and you don't win or lose.

Other rules to know:

• You may double down on any two cards except for 21. This is done by placing an additional wager (up to the total amount of your initial wager) next to your original wager. You will receive only one additional card.
• If your first two cards are a pair, you may split them into two hands by placing an equal amount next to your original bet. If the next card makes a pair, you may split again. Split Aces get only a one-card draw. A 10-value card on a split Ace counts as 21, but not Blackjack.
• If the dealer's face-up card is an Ace, you may make an additional wager that the dealer has Blackjack. Insurance bets are made by placing up to half your original bet on the insurance line, prior to the dealer checking his or her facedown card. If the dealer has Blackjack, your insurance bet pays 2 to 1. If you choose not to get insurance and the dealer has Blackjack, you lose.
