Blackjack hit or stand comes down to one comparison: your total against the card the dealer shows. Take a card too often and you bust past 21; stand too soon and the dealer’s draw to 17 beats you. The same rules govern any blackjack table in a live casino online Philippines lobby, so this chart travels with you from table to table.
Blackjack hit or stand on hard totals
A hard total counts every ace as 1. The chart below follows the saved rule source’s example for a game with four to eight decks, a dealer who hits soft 17 and doubling allowed after a split. Your table may differ, so read its own rules panel.
| Your hard total | Dealer shows 2 to 6 | Dealer shows 7 to ace |
|---|---|---|
| 17 or more | Stand | Stand |
| 13 to 16 | Stand | Hit (surrender where the table offers it) |
| 12 | Stand on 4 to 6, hit on 2 or 3 | Hit |
| 11 | Double down | Double down |
| 10 | Double down | Double on 7 to 9, hit on 10 or ace |
| 9 | Double on 3 to 6, hit on 2 | Hit |
| 8 or less | Hit | Hit |
Where doubling is not allowed, hit instead. The dealer must keep drawing until a total of 17 or higher, so a dealer showing 2 to 6 busts more often, which is why you stand on the middle totals against those cards. Pick the dealer’s card first, then your total.
The dealer’s routine is covered in a croupier’s routine at the table.
Blackjack side bets: what they add
A side bet is a separate wager placed next to your main bet that pays on a specific outcome. The saved rule source names these common ones: Lucky Lucky, Perfect Pairs, Royal Match, 21+3, Blazing 7s, Lucky Ladies, In Bet, Bust It and Match the Dealer. Each has its own paytable, and the paytable is the table’s own.
- Perfect Pairs pays on your first two cards being a pair.
- 21+3 pays when your first two cards plus the dealer’s up card make a flush, straight or three of a kind.
- Match the Dealer pays when one or both of your cards match the dealer’s card.
- Insurance pays 2 to 1 when the dealer shows an ace and has blackjack, and you may stake up to half your bet.
The source says the house edge on side bets is generally higher than on the blackjack game itself, and that insurance loses money in the long run because the dealer has blackjack less than one-third of the time. A side bet adds a chance of a bigger win and a higher cost per peso staked. Set the main game first.
Salon Prive Blackjack on the lobby’s Hot Games list
The 888JILI lobby’s Hot Games list carried a title called Salon Privé Blackjack on 6 October 2026. This page treats it only as a table name on that list. Open the table, read its own rules panel before you place a chip, and take the dealer’s soft 17 rule, the blackjack payout and the side bets from that panel rather than from any general chart.
- Find the soft 17 rule and set your stand points to it.
- Find the blackjack payout, 3 to 2 or less.
- Find which side bets the table runs and read each paytable.
- Find the minimum and maximum bet on the panel itself; this page prints none.
House rules that change the answer
Three rules move your result more than any hit-or-stand mistake, and all three are printed on the table’s own rules panel.
| Rule | What the saved rule source says | Example on ₱100 |
|---|---|---|
| Blackjack pays 3 to 2 or 6 to 5 | 6 to 5 adds about 1.4 points to the house edge | ₱150 against ₱120 profit |
| Dealer stands on soft 17 | Standing instead of hitting lowers the house edge by about 0.2 points | Small, on every hand |
| Number of decks | 0.16% for one deck, 0.64% for six, 0.66% for eight, under one rule set | Fewer decks, lower edge |
Basic strategy, which is the chart above carried through every total, holds the long-run loss under 1% of action in the source. For a game with no decisions at all, read how the big six wheel pays.
