ICONbet DAOblackjack is the first blackjack game in the ICON developed by third-party developers on the ICONbet platform. ICONbet is the first and the leading DAO in the ICON with three games DAOlette, DAOdice along with DAOblackjack.

Blackjack, also known to some as twenty-one, is one of the most popular casino games around. ICONbet DAOblackjack is a card game that pits player versus dealer. It is played with one or more decks of cards. Cards are counted as their respective numbers, face cards as ten, and an ace as either eleven or one (in our blackjack game it will show on the counter as 1/11 unless 11 puts you over 21 when it will just show the 1 value.)

The objective of Blackjack is to beat the dealer. This can be accomplished by getting Blackjack (first two cards equal 21) without dealer Blackjack, having your final card count be higher than the dealers without exceeding 21, or by not exceeding 21 and dealer busting by exceeding their card count of 21.

In ICONbet DAOblackjack, the player must decide what to bet before the hand. Click the chips to add them to your bet. Available chips in our game are 1,5,10,25 & 100, which represents the respective amount of ICX in-game. Click the chip again to remove it back to your pile of money.

Once you click “deal” your bet is set, and two cards are dealt to the player face up and two cards are dealt to the dealer, one face up and one face down.

You must then decide if you will “hit” (take another card from the deck), “stand” (keep the hand you are dealt), or “double” (you double your bet and are given only one more card).

If the dealer has an Ace showing, you can click the “Insurance” button (this means you will place a bet worth half your hand bet, which will be paid out if the dealer has Blackjack but will be taken if the dealer does not).

Once the Blackjack hand is played out, three outcomes can occur.

First, you can win (as previously described), secondly you can lose (bust hand or have less than dealer hand), or you can push (have same hand-number count or Blackjack — as the dealer).

If you win, you get your bet money back PLUS that same amount from the dealer.

If you win with Blackjack, you get your original bet back PLUS you win 1.5 times your bet from the dealer.

If you lose, the dealer takes your bet money.

If you push, you keep your bet money but do not win anything additional.

The cards are automatically shuffled every game, so it’ll be a bit harder to read what will be coming out next.

Extra Tips to Win

Never play the Insurance button, it is a loser’s bet.

Almost always hit until you reach seventeen, especially if the dealer has a seven or higher.

If the Blackjack dealer has a four, five or six, don’t take any chances! They’re most likely to bust. Double your hand in these circumstances if you surely won’t bust.
