Game 21: a card duel with the dealer
"21" is a card game against a dealer who plays by a fixed rule: under 17 points the dealer has to take more cards, and at 17 or above the dealer has to stop. Your aim is 21, or a total close to it without going over. On 1xBet in Algeria the game is part of the 1xGames catalogue and is played from a DZD account.
Each game starts with the stake, which is set before play begins. Two cards are then dealt to you and two to the dealer.
Hit, Stand and a limit of three extra cards
Every click on Hit adds one card to your hand, up to a maximum of three extra cards. Stand is the button to press once you judge that it is time to stop.
Point values card by card
Card | Points |
|---|---|
Ace | 11 |
King | 4 |
Queen | 3 |
Jack | 2 |
10, 9, 8, 7 and 6 | face value |
Ranks climb from the 6, the lowest card, to the Ace, the highest. Rank and points part ways at the picture cards: the King outranks the 10 yet scores only 4. A Jack with a 9 comes to 11 and an Ace with a Queen to 14, while a 10, a 7 and a King together make exactly 21.
Paid, refunded or bust
21, or any lower total that beats the dealer's: the bet pays at odds of x2.
A draw, also called a push: the stake is refunded.
More than 21: a bust, and the game is lost.
Two Aces, known as the Golden Point: they count as 21 and win even against a dealer's 21.
The game screen
Three round buttons sit near the bottom: a large one marked with a white triangle in the middle, a coin stack on its left and, on its right, a green button with white circular arrows. Just above them is a row of four buttons, MIN, X2, X/2 and MAX, and higher up a purple bar shows the stake amount. The middle of the teal table carries a golden 21 on a black spade, backed by a fan of cards, and a light banner stretches across the top. Three small icons are stacked down the left edge: a clock with an arrow, a question mark and a speaker.
