Blackjack, also commonly referred to as 21, is one of the most popular casino games. In Azerbaijan, it can be played at various online casinos, where it usually follows the local version of the game.
In Azerbaijani blackjack, the dealer stands on all 17s and players can only double down on a 9, 10, or 11. The insurance bet pays 2:1, while the blackjack pays 3:2. If the player and dealer both have blackjack, then the game results in a push, meaning that the player's bet is not lost but instead returned to the player.
Players must make their first bet before the cards are dealt. According to the house rules, the minimum bet amount is usually between 1 and 5 AZN. After the hands are dealt, the player has several options to choose from. The first option is to hit, which means to draw one or more additional cards. The second option is to stand, which means to keep the current total and not draw any additional cards. The third option is to surrender, which means to forfeit the round and lose only half of the original bet.
