Five Aspects of Blackjack You Should Understand
Basic Objective of the Game
Blackjack is a card game played between the player and the dealer. The main objective isn't simply to reach 21 — it's to beat the dealer without going over. If your card total exceeds 21, you "bust" and lose automatically. Numbered cards are worth their face value, picture cards are worth 10, and an Ace can count as either 1 or 11 depending on your hand.
Player Actions in a Round
Each round, players can choose from several actions — Hit (take another card), Stand (stick with your current total), Double Down (double your bet and take one more card), Split (divide two cards of equal value into two separate hands), or Surrender (fold and forfeit half your bet). Not all actions are available in every variant or hand situation; pm3 automatically displays the options available to you.
Blackjack Variants at pm3
Pm3 offers several blackjack variants to suit different playing styles. Classic Blackjack uses 6–8 card decks with standard rules. Spanish 21 uses a deck with all 10-value cards removed but offers higher payouts for certain combinations. Blackjack Switch lets players swap the top cards between two simultaneous hands — a popular variant for the wider strategic options it opens up. Each variant has slightly different payout rates and optimal strategies.
Basic Strategy and Action Charts
Basic blackjack strategy is a mathematically grounded guide to the best action based on your hand value and the dealer's upcard. Following it consistently can reduce the house edge to a very low figure compared to other casino games. pm3 allows players to bring strategy notes to the table, and a quick-reference guide is available within the platform for new players.
Dealer Rules and Table Limits
At most pm3 tables, the dealer must Hit on Soft 16 and below, and Stand on Soft 17 and above. Minimum bets start from RM 5 at standard tables, while VIP tables carry higher minimum and maximum limits. Each table's specific rules are displayed before you sit down, so you can make an informed decision about which table suits you best.

What Many Players Overlook
Three Things to Know Before You Sit Down
First, check the table-specific rules before you start — particularly whether the dealer Hits or Stands on Soft 17, as this affects your strategy. This rule difference can change how you approach certain hand situations.
Second, know the time limit for making decisions. At pm3 live dealer tables, each player has a set amount of time to choose their action. If the timer runs out before a decision is made, the system will automatically select a default action based on the current hand value. Have your strategy ready in advance to avoid rushed calls.
Third, pay attention to how many players are at the table. More players at a table means each round takes longer, but it also gives you more time to think. Solo or low-occupancy tables are better suited for players who prefer a faster pace. You can check how many seats are filled before joining any table at pm3.
