International Blackjack League rules

There are a number of gaming instructions players need to be aware of before entering a tournament.

Eliminations

Sign up for the International Blackjack League and win AUD cash prizesEach table will have hands which are defined at the elimination hands. These will be advertised clearly and could be any hand number, for example the 4th, 6th or 12th hand.

The player with the least amount of chips at the end of the hand will be eliminated, while if it is a draw and two players have equal amount of chips, only one will be eliminated via Sudden Death. However, if they both have no chips, regardless if it is an elimination hand, they will both be eliminated.

Sit-Out

Players in a live tournament can opt to sit out of the tournament for a period of time, while still being able to re-enter later. To do so, they need to click the ‘Sit-Out’ box and the hand will be played at a sub-optimal strategy. To rejoin the game players must click the box again.

Secret Bet

Every player has a wager entitled the ‘secret bet’ which is available every round. They can use it at any time, and it will only be shown at the end of the round. The standard actions are compatible with the secret bet, and it exists as a unique chip for all other players to see at the end of the hand.

Disconnections

For players who are experiencing technical difficulties such as a disconnection during a live tournament, the game will go into ‘auto-play. This means that a system will play by betting the minimum amount and play until a soft 12 or stand at just two cards.
