The Increase and Decrease buttons are used to adjust the size of your bet. These may be represented as either a + and - symbol or up and down arrows. The bet size can only be changed between games.

The Deal button starts a new game of Blackjack.

The Hit button deals you another card.

The Stand button (sometimes called the Stay button) ends your hand and moves the game onto the next phase be it the completion of the dealer's hand or of your second hand (in the case of a split.)

The Split button is only available if the first two cards dealt in your hand have the same denomination (i.e. are both Aces or Jacks or fours.) The Split button causes this single hand to be split into two separate hands, that are then played out as normal Blackjack hands. Please note that if you split a pair of Aces and then receive a card of value 10 this is not considered to be a Blackjack (but still has a value of 21.)

The Double button doubles your wager on your current hand. Once you choose to Double you will only receive one more card. You will only be allowed to Double if the value of your hand prior to Doubling is 9, 10 or 11. This is essentially a wager on your next card being sufficient to beat the dealer's hand.

The Insurance button is only available when the Dealer's first card is an Ace. Insurance is a bet against the Dealer getting Blackjack. The Insurance bet costs half your original bet and will pay out 2 to 1 if the dealer gets Blackjack.
