The aim of Blackjack is for you to get a better score than the Dealer, without exceeding 21. If you get more than 21 or get less than the Dealer then the Dealer wins. In Blackjack you are only playing against the Dealer, not other players.

Having been played in the U.S. since the 1800s, Blackjack is said to have been named as such when a player got a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the first two cards.

Nowadays a Blackjack is any 10 or picture card with an Ace and it is paid out at odds of 3-to-2.

Another great addition to Blackjack at SKYCITY Adelaide is Perfect Pairs. A Perfect Pairs bet wins if the 1st two cards dealt to a Blackjack hand are a pair. There are three different types of pairs and the payout odds vary accordingly.

You make your Perfect Pairs bet prior to the deal and it must be supported by your regular Blackjack bet.
