Playing blackjack
To win you need to beat the dealer without busting. You bust when your
cards total to more than 21 and you lose automatically. The winner is
whoever has closest to a total of 21. You reach 21 by adding up the
values of the cards.
The
blackjack table seats about 6 players. Either six or eight decks
of cards are used and are shuffled together by the dealer and placed
in a card dispensing box called 'Shoe'.
Before receiving any cards players must place a wager. Then the
players are dealt two cards face up. The dealer gets one face up, one
face down. Each player in turn either stays or takes more cards to try
and get closer to 21 without busting. Players who do not bust wait for
the dealer's turn. When all the players are done, the dealer turns up
the down card. By rule, on counts of 17 or higher the dealer must
stay; on counts of 16 or lower the dealer must draw. is the most
If you make a total of 21 with the first two cards (a 10 or a face and
an Ace), you win automatically. This is called 'Blackjack'. If you
have Blackjack, you will win one and one-half times your bet unless
the dealer also has Blackjack, in which case it is a Push or a Tie (or
a Stand-off) and you get your bet back.
The object of the blackjack game is to accumulate cards with point
totals as close to 21 without going over 21. Face cards (Jacks, Queens
and Kings) are worth 10 points. Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever is
preferable. Other cards are represented by their number.
Rules For Playing Blackjack
A blackjack table is curved and seats up to six players. If you are
playing by typical 21 rules, then the house is using six or eight
decks of 52 cards that are dealt out of a box called a “shoe”. Before
any cards are dealt, each player places an initial bet. The players
are then dealt two cards face up and the dealer gets one card face up
and one card face down, called the hole card. Each player will either
hit to be dealt more cards or, if they are satisfied with their hand,
they may stand. If a player does not bust, once they are satisfied
with their hand, then the dealer flips over their hole card. Typical
21 rules require a dealer who has a 16 value hand or lower to draw
another card. If they have a 17 or higher, they will stand.
21 rules also state that if a player gets a 21 hand in their first two
cards (an Ace and a 10-value card) then this is called a blackjack. If
a player gets a blackjack, then they win one and a half times their
bet. But if the dealer also gets a blackjack, then it is a push or a
tie. In this instance, you will get your bet back. Ladies and
