Tournament BlackJack: Blackjack Tournaments There are two types of Blackjack tournaments. The first one you are competing against only the players at your table. The second type has you competing against all of the players at all of the other tables. The format where you compete against the players at your table is the most popular especially where there are a limited number of blackjack tables available for a tournament and there has to be multiple qualifying rounds. The object of the game is to beat your opponent, not the Dealer, by amassing a larger chip-stack than your opponent who will play the exact same sequence of cards as you receive. Points are awarded in the form of casino chip $dollars. Beat the Dealer's hand of cards with as many of your 25 hands as possible and build your chip-stack higher than your opponent. To beat the Dealer's hand, your hand must be worth more in terms of combined face value, without going over a total of 21. This is classic Blackjack. You start with a chip-stack of $10,000 and play a maximum total of 25 hands, at up to 5 simultaneous hands per round. Starting a Round To start playing, move the mouse over a circle on the table and click on a chip to add to your bet. The most you can bet on a single position (i.e. at each circle) is $1000. The minimum is $100. You can play as many of the 5 positions as you like, simply by placing a bet on them.
