Blackjack is a comparing card game
where player competes against the dealer. In Blackjack, each card has the value
represented on the card itself with the exception of picture cards (which have
a value of 10) and Aces, which can be either 1 or 11, whichever makes a better
hand.
- The
goal of blackjack is to beat the dealer’s hand without going over 21.
- Each
player starts with two cards and one of the dealer’s card is hidden until the
end.
- To
‘Hit’ is to ask for another card; to ‘Stand’ is to hold your
total and end your turn.
- If
you go over 21, you bust and the dealer wins regardless of the dealer’s hand.
- If
you are dealt 21 from the start (Ace & 10), you got a Blackjack.
- Blackjack
usually means that you win 1.5 amount of your bet. (Depends on the casino)
- Dealer
will hit until his/her cards to a total of 17 or higher.
- Doubling is
like a hit, only the bet is doubled and you only get one more card.
- Split
can be done when you have two of the same cards – the pair is split into two
hands.
- Splitting also
doubles the bet, because each new hand is worth the original bet.
- You
can only double/split on the first move, or first move of a hand created by a
split.
- You
cannot play on two Aces after they are split.
- You
can double on a hand resulting from a split, tripling or quadrupling you bet.
