Q: How do I play Mafia Blackjack?

A: The rules of Mafia Blackjack are similar to traditional Blackjack with an exception that Mafia Blackjack does not allow advanced options like Surrender, Split, Double Down or Insurance.


In Mafia Blackjack, you play against the currently active Boss, who is also the Dealer.


Your aim is to accumulate a higher Score (total numeric value of your cards) than the Dealer (Boss), but without going over 21. Your score is calculated by adding the values of your individual cards (card values are described below).


Glossary:


Deck of Cards: 52 Cards (13 cards each in 4 Suites)

Suites: Spades, Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds (all suites are equal in strength).

Face Cards: All Jacks, Queens and Kings.

Value of Cards:


· Cards from 2 to 10 represent their own numerical value.


· All Face Cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are counted as 10.


· All Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever is better to help you reach the score of 21, without going over 21.


Hand – The numerical total of the set of cards dealt to you OR the dealer.

Dealer – Your opponent – Currently active Boss (Dino/Kyla/Phil OR Michelle)

Score – The total value of (yours or the Boss’) cards, calculated by adding the numerical values of your individual cards.
Bet – The amount of Chips you bet to play a round of Mafia Blackjack.


Hit – Use this if you want to take (or deal) more cards from the deck.



Stand – Use this if you do not want any more cards to be dealt. Once you Stand, the Boss will start Hitting (drawing the cards).







Gameplay:


Mafia Blackjack starts with a Bet of 10 Chips. Click on Bet to bet a minimum of 10 Chips and start the game.







Clicking on Bet will deduct Chips from your account and will take you to the Mafia Blackjack game board:











At the start of Mafia Blackjack, the player and the Dealer will receive two cards each from the Deck.


Your cards will be dealt face up, while the dealer will have one card faced down and another one dealt face up.


You can choose to “Hit” or “Stand” depending on your decision based on your current score.


Once you Stand, the Boss will start drawing the cards. In Mafia Blackjack, the Boss stands at 17, which means they will stop drawing cards once their Score reaches 17 or above.


The result of a particular round will depend on the comparison of your Score to that of the Boss.


Following are the possible results:


Win – You or the Boss will win, depending on who scores higher (total numeric value of the cards) without going over 21.
Bust –You or the Boss will go Bust (and lose) if either of you score above 21.
Push – If your score is equal to that of the Boss at the end of a round, it is considered to be a Push (Tie or a Draw).

Blackjack – If you or the Boss are able to score 21 in the first 2 Cards (which is only possible if one of yours or Boss’ card is an Ace). For example: Ace + King OR Ace + 10. Blackjack is the best possible hand and whoever has it wins, unless the opponent also has a Blackjack.


Q: What happens if I win or lose a hand?
A: If you win a hand against the Boss in Mafia Blackjack, you get to retain the Chips you Bet and reduce the health of the Boss as indicated on the game board.


Example:













If you win a hand against the Boss with a Blackjack (scoring 21 in the first 2 Cards, as shown in the example below), you get 1.5 times the Chips you Bet and reduce the health of the Boss.







If you lose a hand against the Boss in Mafia Blackjack, you lose the amount of Chips you bet and the Boss gains 20 Health.







If the scores are equal, you will retain the amount of Chips you bet and the Boss’ Health will remain unaffected.







Q: How can I raise my bet?

A: An option to raise your bet beyond the minimum bet of 10 Chips will be available for the 3rd and 4thBoss (Philanthropist and Michelle Paulis).


You will be presented with an option to raise your bet after the first card is dealt.


Raise your bet in Chips to deal more damage to the Boss. You can bet up to a maximum of 50 Chips.








Q: Are there any cheats available?

A: Yes, there are 4 types of Cheats available in Mafia Blackjack. All cheats can be purchased using Chips.


1. Undo: If your score exceeds 21 and you are about to be busted, you can Undo the last draw and draw a new card from the Deck.


Please note that the option to use Undo is available up to a maximum of 3 times per hand and costs different each time you use it in the same hand.


Cost of Undo in a particular Hand:


1st Undo costs 6 Chips

2nd Undo costs 8 Chips

You can choose a card from the displayed ones or choose to discard all of them. The cards not selected will be discarded from the deck.


If you choose to Discard all cards, the Chips used to activate the cheat will not be refunded.












4. Score 19: Score 19 is only available for the 4th Boss (Michelle). This Cheat allows you to replace your existing cards and take your score directly to 19, without dealing more cards.












Q: How many Decks are used per Boss? When will the deck be replenished?
A: The number of decks used per Boss will vary as shown below and the cards dealt will be discarded after every hand.
