What is Perfect Blackjack Multihand 5?

How to play Perfect Blackjack Multihand 5

The rules of Perfect Blackjack Multihand 5 are incredibly easy to learn. In order to win, players must try and get as close to 21 as possible without going bust (exceeding 21). If the player’s hand is stronger than the dealer’s hand, the player wins. If the player goes bust, they automatically forfeit the hand. If the player and dealer’s hands both have the same value, the player’s stake is returned as a push.

Perfect Blackjack Multihand 5 uses the same standard rules as most blackjack variants have. All numbered cards keep their face value whilst picture cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth 10. Aces can be worth either 1 or 11, depending on the cards in a hand. The strongest possible hand is known as ‘Blackjack’. It is formed by combining a 10-value card with an Ace – adding up to 21. Blackjack will beat all other hands, even a hand worth 21, but is returned as a push if both the player and dealer have Blackjack.

To start a round of Perfect Blackjack Multihand 5, the player must place their stake on at least one of the five positions around the table. It is possible to adjust the stake using chips found on the left-hand side of your screen. The player can play up to five hands during a single round of Perfect Blackjack Multihand 5. The round starts when the player clicks on the ‘Deal’ button. The dealer will serve two face-up cards to the player and reveal a face-up and face-down card themselves.

At this point, it is possible for the player to place an ‘Insurance bet’ if the dealer is revealing an Ace. This costs half of the player’s initial stake and pays 2:1, essentially guaranteeing money back. The insurance bet pays out if the dealer has Blackjack. If the dealer does not have blackjack, the round continues as usual.

Once the player has received their cards, they can decide on one of the following options:

• Hit – this means to take an additional card. There is no limit on how many cards a player can take but they must be cautious not to exceed 21 and go bust.
• Stand – this means settling with the cards that they are dealt and moving onto the next position or back to the dealer’s hand.
• Double – this means taking a single additional card and doubling their stake in the process. It is possible to double on any hand, even after a split.
• Split – this means splitting two cards with the same value to form two separate hands. In doing so, the player is also doubling their stake. It is possible to double after splitting and even claiming as many cards as you like. However, splitting Aces means only receiving one more card. A split Ace and 10-value card count as 21, not Blackjack.

The 10-card Charlie rule is applicable in Perfect Blackjack Multihand 5. If the player manages to draw 10 cards to a single hand without going bust, they automatically win, regardless of the total. However, a 10-card Charlie does not beat a dealer Blackjack.

A standard win in Perfect Blackjack Multihand 5 pays 1:1. That includes if the player has a stronger hand than the dealer, if the dealer goes bust or if the player is holding a 10-card Charlie. If the player has Blackjack, the payout is 3:2. When both the player’s hand and the dealer’s hand are equal, the stake is returned to the player as a push. The dealer will always hit on 16 or lower and stand on 17 or higher.

Perfect Blackjack Multihand 5 Side Bets

In Perfect Blackjack Multihand 5, there are two side bets that can be placed. Both of them have the same rules, but one of them is for the player’s cards and the other is for the dealer. The two side bets are known as the Player’s Pair and the Dealer’s Pair. To win, the cards that are dealt to a hand must have the same value. Depending on their colour and suit, the payouts for the Player/Dealer pair vary. Here is a complete list of payouts for the side bet:

• A Mixed Pair pays 6:1 – A mixed pair is when one of the cards is red and one of them is black.
• A Coloured Pair pays 12:1 – A coloured pair is when both of the cards have the same colour but different suits. The combinations include hearts and diamonds or clubs and spades.
• A Perfect Pair pays 25:1 – A perfect pair is when both cards are identical, having the same colour and suit.
