Game Tips
The dealer's strategy is simple: he always hits until he reaches hard 17 or more, and then he stands. If the dealer has soft 17 (Ace counted as 11), he hits.
Only one deck of cards is used ,so to progress through ranks quicker hit "New Game" once all 4 aces have come up. You can check your rank progress by clicking on the mask in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen.
Badge Tips
Blackjack Masquerade Badge Prior to each new deck, make sure you select the "Pair Square" side bet. All you need to do then is wait until you get a pair with your first 2 cards. Win 8 times to be awarded the badge.
Carnival of Sevens Badge Prior to each new deck, make sure you select the "Super 7" side bet. All you need to do then is wait until you get a pair of 7's with your first 2 cards. Win 7 times to be awarded the badge.
