The dealer only gets one card. If you wouldn't have taken your last card (the 10), then the dealer would have gotten it instead of the A. So, you really have to play, as this impacts also the cards that the dealer gets.

I know that there are different rules depending on the Casino. I've played at locations where the dealer would get a second card which is not revealed. But in the most Casinos where I play the dealer only gets one card and this is how I implemented this on my site.

Is this okay for everyone, or should I change this?

I've played all over the US and I've never seen a time where the dealer only got 1 card then got the next card after all the players had completed their turn.

If you're going to do it that way then it should be a tie since the dealer drew 21 against my 21 ... not I lose because they ended up getting 21 also.

It's an interesting concept, especially since we're playing solo. I would be ok with it as long as the change above is implemented.

I like it so far except I ran into an annoying situation:

I'm dealt 3 2 .. I hit and get a 10 ... hit again and get a 6 ... I have 21.

Dealer started off with a K and flips over an A after I drew out my 21, I lose.

If the dealer has 21 right off the bat and I don't then I should lose automatically, not play to lose.

I know it's a work in progress but that sucked.

Very well made! But if I can recommend you something: add balance so that it's more visible when playing.

Good idea, thanks, will do that soon!

Is this "real" Blackjack where you can card count, or "fake" Blackjack with random numbers?

It's "real". I get a batch of random numbers from random.org which determine the position of each card in the stack. Though you cannot really count if you don't play many games in a short time, as the cards for all games are played from the same stack of cards.

You really should add ssl to your page, you can get a cert for free from startssl.com for example.

I don't know if that is possible with my hoster (1btchost.com). If not I will *maybe* change hosters, though I only want to use services that accept Bitcoins. Yes, although my site not 100% "green" it's 100% "Bitcoin" Cool

Hi, I really enjoyed gambling with Bitcoins, but all of the games I found were only passive.

This high roller won his first game! Hope to see more people playing with more outlets! A Texas Hold'em would be great!

We don't ever plan on implementing Blackjack, but https://betco.in has poker. Hold'em only right now (NL and limit), but we are planning to fix up Omaha and Stud as well.

Not trying to steal customers here - again, we don't have any plans on implementing house games like blackjack or craps as far as I know - but I've seen people asking for BTC holdem a few places and well, it already exists

I sent my bitcoins a 30 minutes ago and it hasn't shown up in my funds....what the heck is going on?

Are you sure you've sent your coins to the right address? You can check at www.blockexplorer.com/address/[your_address] if your transaction is in the bitcoin network. I've just checked the URL with your account's address and cannot find the transaction there. So it's no problem from my side, be assured that your coins are not lost once they get to me

Does your bitcoin client list the transaction as sent? Sometimes it takes a little lower to get a transaction accepted from the bitcoin network.

Edit: Ok, I've checked. You've made a very small amount and the bitcoin network takes longer to verify it because you didn't include a small fee for the block's miner. I've now accepted your deposit manually, so you can play right now Cool

If you don't want to wait in the future you should either made bigger transaction or you should add a small fee in the bitcoin software (this does not depend on me, but on the whole network!).

Yes, random.org bite me again, I've just received empty strings instead of random numbers Sad

I've now added a check and use my own random numbers in this case. I've stopped all running games, paid the bets back, and re-opend!

@deadlizard: That's not a bug, but a feature Grin

Since I've screwed up when opening the page I wanted to get you to play as fast as possible and thus I removed the waiting for confirmations. I've now changed it back to needing 1 confirmation.

Strength in numbers

I've played like 50 hands with no problem, but now I can't see the card images. Reloading did not help neither did opening them in new window. I just get the broken image icons.

edit: Doh. Now it's down in the middle of my hand.

Haha, how about money to the dumbest luckiest guy, I win that for sure.

I was thinking double meant split. So I doubled my two kings! And hit an ace!
