Game Objective
In Blackjack Portuguese (Multihand 7 Seats) you play up to 7 hands simultaneously. The aim is to beat the dealer, i.e. to get a point total closer to 21 than his, without going over. If the first two cards add up to 21, you have a Blackjack - the best possible hand. Note that a 21 achieved with three or more cards, or even in a split pair, is not considered Blackjack.
The Croupier
The Croupier is your only opponent and you have to get 17 points or more. The game uses 6 decks of 52 cards.
Value of the Cards
- Cards from 2 to 10: They are worth their corresponding number.
- Figures (Jack, Queen and King) : They are worth 10 points each.
- A's: It can be worth 1 or 11 points, depending on which option is more advantageous for the hand.

Specific Rules of Blackjack Multihand
- Stand: You can only choose to stay in if your hand total is more than 11 points.
- Double: You can only double your bet if the first two cards add up to 9, 10 or 11 points. If you have an ace on the first two cards and choose to double down, the value of the ace is fixed at 1 point for the rest of the hand.
- Split: If the two initial cards have the same value, you can split them into two separate hands, each with a bet equal to the initial one. Only one split is allowed per session. If you split aces, each new hand will only receive one additional card.
- Insurance: If the Croupier visible card is an ace, he can bet on insurance, which is half the initial bet. If the dealer plays Blackjack, the insurance pays 2:1, otherwise you lose the amount you bet on insurance.
- Red Card: After two decks have been used, a red card is inserted into the Croupier deck. When this card appears, all the decks are reshuffled to start a new game.
- Special Prize: There is no special prize (e.g. Triple 7 or Set 6, 7, 8).
- Surrender: You can choose to surrender and get half your bet back, as long as, after the cards have been dealt, the Croupier doesn't have an ace among the first cards. If you then get Blackjack and the dealer has an ace as a visible card (without revealing the second card yet), you get back double your bet.
