I've never played blackjack. Can someone explain the steps to follow and how to trigger the double down feature?

I only know how to play blackjack and not the side bets so I will tell you the basics. 

The main aim of blackjack is to hit 21 or a number below 21 provided that the dealer hits lowere than your number or above 21.

The dealer picks up a card for you and themselves. Then the dealer picks another card for you and themselves. This time the dealer reveals your card but not theirs. 

The combination of your two cards can be 21or lower. Now you have to choose to hit which means pick another card or stand which means you are sure that the sum of dealers card is less than yours or more than 21. The dealer can draw more cards until they reach 17. 

How to split and double down

When you have two similar cards like 2,2 or 3,3 or K, J or Q, J or K, K you will see the option of "split" (symbo shown in attachment) . If you choose to split your €1 bet will become €2. Now you have two hands which means two bets of €1.  Now you will have to choose the double town feature which is in orange color and has symbol "2x". This also means you are going to hit. Now your bets are €1 and €2 if you choose to double down on one hand. If you double down on both hands your total bet becomes €4.

To play Blackjack on any Pragmatic Play live table, first place your bet and receive two random cards face up. The dealer will have one card facing up and one as a mystery card facing down.

Your goal is to get a hand value as close to 21 as possible without going over (going over, whether your hand or the dealer is considered a "Bust"), while beating the dealer’s hand. @cocopop3011 please don't bust when you capture your screenshot!

If you get an Ace with a number like 6, you'll have a "soft 17" meaning your hand is a 7 / 17. In this hand you can choose to stand or hit for another card, you won't bust yet depending on the next card given. 

Aces are valued at either 1 or 11 which makes them both a valuable card for yourself as well as a dangerous card for the dealer! 2 - 9 are of their own values while 10, J Q and K are considered 10 in value.

If you get two Aces you can only choose to split the cards as two independent hands but the dealer will draw one card only for each! You cannot double down on those!

Doubling down too is considered one card only as well, for better or worse! Doubling down also adds twice your current bet! (Ie. $2 bets would be another $2 for $4 total)

If you receive an Ace and any face card including 10 then it is an automatic blackjack which pays your win, bet back plus half! Technically 3 to 2 of your bet!

There is also where the dealer's hand and your hand are considered the same (Dealer's hand 17, your hand is 17) then that is a "Push" which is a draw! Your bet is returned to you!

At other times in scenarios where the dealer has an Ace at the beginning of the hand, you'll have the option to opt for "insurance" which costs half of your current bet so a $2 bet would cost you $1 to insure your hand in case the dealer has a 10 or any face card to give him/her blackjack with his/her Ace. If you believe the dealer isn't hiding any face card/10 then don't insure your hand. Insurance only pays if the dealer has a blackjack (A J, A Q, etc.). You lose your insurance if the dealer doesn't have blackjack so consider that risk!

Other pairs can be split and/or doubled down! They don't necessarily have to be perfect pairs, they can be split if you have 10 and a king or other combinations.

If your first two cards are a pair (like two 8s.), you can choose to split them into two separate hands, each with it's own bet. After splitting, PP now allows you to use the Double Down After Split feature on either of your new hands, you can double your bet and receive just one more card for that hand. To trigger this, simply split your pair, then select the double down option on one or both split hands when prompted during your turn, you'll have a few seconds to take action (on or about 10 seconds).

Remember that you need to split and double down in order to qualify your entries!

Hope I covered all that!

"Side Bets" is another category to explain which is for another day.

@cocopop3011 The contest rules do not specify that the casino must be listed at AG.

I have 1 local casino that I can play with RM2.5 bets but this casino is not listed at AG. Say it's okay to play and I'll start playing. Right now I'm only watching others play.

I have included this rule already, as I missed it initially. 
As this is sponsored, all casinos need to be listed at AG sorry.
