Game Rules

• Skill Based Blackjack requires a minimum of 2 players.
• All players are dealt from identical decks, all in the same order, and play their hands as they would in a normal game of Blackjack. Everyone plays at the same time — there is no turn order or waiting for other players to act.
• Objective: have more points than the other players by the end of the round.
• Everyone starts with the same number of points, which double as your chips. Placing a bet subtracts the bet amount from your total score. If you lose the hand, you don't get those points back. If you win, your bet multiplied by the win payout is added to your score.
• Example: you have 100 total points and bet 50. If you lose, your total score is 50. If you win at 1:1, your total score becomes 150.
• At the very start of the game, a mandatory bet is placed and you're dealt your first hand.
• After finishing a hand, you can place another bet or simply sit and wait for the round to end.
• Once you place another bet, a button appears. Clicking it deals cards to you and the dealer and commits your bet.
• You can play as many hands as you want until the round ends.
• If the round ends while you're in the middle of a hand, that hand counts as a loss and you lose your bet.
• Once the round timer ends, the round is over and all players' points are compared. Whoever has the most points wins.
• Winnings scale with the number of players — the more players in the round, the bigger the overall prize.
• 2-3 players: 1st place takes the entire prize.
• 4-5 players: 1st place wins 80 percent, 2nd place wins 20 percent.
• 6-7 players: 1st place wins 70 percent, 2nd place wins 20 percent, 3rd place wins 10 percent.
