General Game Rules
Classic Blackjack with Picture-Perfect Bonus is played with 6 regular decks, and the dealer must stand on all 17. There is no dealer peek; one card is dealt to the dealer face-up. Players can double down on 9, 10, and 11 but cannot double after a split. Splitting is allowed once to make 2 hands, and multiple cards can be drawn to split Aces. However, a split Ace and a 10-value card count as 21, not Blackjack. Unlike 10-value cards cannot be split.
Picture-Perfect Bonus Side Bet Rules: The Picture-Perfect Bonus side bet pays out if your initial two cards form one of the following hands: suited KK/QQ/JJ (25:1), other suited pair (17:1), straight flush (8:1), or other pair (4:1). Only the highest winning combination pays for each bet placed. To participate, place the side bet before pushing the deal button. If your first two cards make one of the listed hands, you win the side bet; otherwise, you lose your side bet stake.
Insurance, Double, and Split Rules: Insurance is available when the dealer's first card is an Ace, allowing you to bet half your regular bet amount against the dealer having Blackjack. Insurance wins or losses are independent of your regular bet and only cover your original hand, not split or doubled hands. If the dealer doesn't have Blackjack, the insurance bet is removed, and the cost is deducted from your balance. If the dealer has Blackjack, insurance pays 2:1.
Doubling down is allowed on your first two cards if they only have a value of 9, 10, or 11. The double-down bet equals your regular bet, and you receive one card before your handstands. Doubling down after a split is not permitted.
Splitting is allowed once per game on two cards of the same denomination, creating two hands with equal bets. Each hand receives one additional card. Splitting Aces and drawing a 10-value card, or splitting 10-value cards and drawing an Ace, results in a hand value of 21, not Blackjack. Split hands are completed before the dealer plays their hand.
How to Play Classic Blackjack with Picture-Perfect Bonus
Classic Blackjack with Picture-Perfect Bonus is an exciting variation of the classic card game that offers players an additional side bet with the chance to win big payouts. The game is easy to learn and provides an engaging experience for both novice and experienced players. Follow these step-by-step instructions to start playing Classic Blackjack with Picture-Perfect Bonus.
Step 1: Place Your Bets
First, you must place your main bet on the table in the designated betting area. You can also choose to place an optional side bet on the Picture-Perfect Bonus, which offers payouts based on the first two cards dealt to you. The side bet must be placed before you click the "Deal" button.
Step 2: Receive Your Cards
After placing your bets, click the "Deal" button to receive your initial two cards. The dealer will also receive two cards, one face-up and one face-down. Your objective is to beat the dealer's hand by having a higher total value without exceeding 21.
Step 3: Decide on Your Action
Based on the value of your initial two cards, you must decide whether to "Hit" (request another card), "Stand" (keep your current hand), "Double Down" (double your initial bet and receive one more card), or "Split" (if you have two cards of the same value, you can split them into two separate hands). If the dealer's face-up card is an Ace, you can also purchase insurance against the dealer having a Blackjack.
Step 4: Dealer's Turn
After you have completed your turn, the dealer will reveal their face-down card and draw additional cards according to the game's rules. The dealer must draw until their hand value is at least 17 and stand on all 17s.
Step 5: Determine the Winner
If your hand value is higher than the dealer's without exceeding 21, or if the dealer's hand exceeds 21 (busts), you win. If your hand value is lower than the dealer's or if you bust, you lose. If you and the dealer have the same hand value, it's a push (tie), and your bet is returned.
Step 6: Picture-Perfect Bonus Payout
If you placed a bet on the Picture-Perfect Bonus side bet, your payout will be determined by your initial two cards. The side bet pays out if you have a pair, a suited pair, or a suited pair of Kings, Queens, or Jacks. The highest payout is 25:1 for a suited pair of Kings, Queens, or Jacks.

When the Caution Prompt is activated, a message will appear on the screen, asking the player if they are sure about their decision. This allows players to reconsider their moves and avoid costly errors.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Easy to learn: The game follows standard blackjack rules, making it accessible for novice and experienced players. The Picture-Perfect Bonus side bet is straightforward and adds extra excitement without overly complicating the game.
- Potential for big payouts: The Picture-Perfect Bonus side bet offers payouts of up to 25:1 for a suited pair of Kings, Queens, or Jacks. This allows players to win significant amounts even with a small side bet wager.

- Player-friendly features: The game includes helpful features such as the Caution Prompt, which helps prevent accidental mistakes and ensures that players make informed decisions throughout the game.
Cons
- Lower RTP for side bet: While the main game of Classic Blackjack has a high Return to Player (RTP) percentage, the Picture-Perfect Bonus side bet has a lower RTP. In the long run, players will likely lose more money on the side bet than in the main game.
- Increased volatility: Including the Picture-Perfect Bonus side bet can increase volatility, meaning players may experience more significant swings in their bankroll. While the potential for big wins is appealing, players should be aware of the increased risk associated with the side bet.
- Limited splitting and doubling options: The game allows players to split once and double down on hands with a value of 9, 10, or 11. Some players may prefer games with more flexible splitting and doubling rules.
- No dealer peek: In Classic Blackjack with Picture-Perfect Bonus, the dealer does not peek for blackjack when showing an Ace or 10-value card. This can be seen as a disadvantage for players, as they may end up doubling down or splitting only to find out that the dealer has a blackjack.
