Mardi Gras' Hollywood Casino has the exclusive on this exciting new game featuring live dealers. It's easy to play. The main objective is the same as traditional Blackjack, to beat the dealer without going over 21. Two cards are dealt to each player as well as the dealer. The Jack, Queen and King count as ten, the Ace counts as 1 or 11 and all other cards count as their face value.

To play Classic Blackjack™ you begin by touching Buy In or entering your account number through the player input module located below the player screen. The player's selected fund amount is transferred to their position and the money is converted into on-screen credits and virtual chips. Players can now select the type of bet they wish to make by touching either the main bet circle or one of the bonus bets circles on their screen.

Once a bet type selection is made, players add a bet amount by simply touching their chips in the player bank. To remove chips from a bet, players can touch Clear or touch the chips in the selected bet circle until their bet is correct. In addition to the main bet, players may place one or two bonus bets.

Once the cards are dealt, all cards are automatically totaled for the player. When it's the player's turn, the system can give the player a suggested play strategy. The player either communicates with the live host using hand signals to indicate what action they would like to take hit, stand, etc.

After all players have made their decisions, the dealer hand is played out and outcomes will appear on each player's screen. The player's bank is automatically updated to reflect all wins and losses. Players wishing to leave the game can transfer funds back to their account by simply touching Cash Out.
