Bonus Blackjack uses 2 normal decks, each containing 52 cards. The cards
will be shuffled before each hand begins. The dealer is forced to hit on a soft
17, and blackjack beats any hand that adds up to 21.
There is an optional bonus bet feature in Bonus Blackjack that you can
take at the beginning of each hand. The bonus bet can be different to the hand
bet. The bonus bet pays out on the first two cards.

strategy you choose when in auto play mode. Each hand is logged and players
can review their statistics in real time.
