Blackjack
May 12, 2023
THE AIM OF THE GAME
Blackjack is one of the most popular casino games. The objective of this game is to draw card(s) totaling 21 or as close to 21 as possible. The player wins if his points are higher than those of the dealer
HOW THE CARDS WORK
Numbered Cards
Clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades numbered from 2-10 are worth their face value.
Picture Cards
Picture cards are worth 10 points each, so the King, Queen and Jack are each valued at 10 points.
Aces
The ace is worth either 1 point, or 11 points: it's the player's choice and depends on the hand.
WHAT'S IN A HAND?
What's a bust, a push or a soft hand? Before you play the game, get a handle on the terms:
Blackjack
A hand of two cards that adds up to 21
Soft hand
A hand of two cards, one of which is an ace
Hard hand
A hand of two cards, without an ace
Push hand
When your total is the same as the dealer’s
Bust hand
A hand that totals more than 21
HOW TO PLAY A ROUND
Let the games begin. A round of Blackjack starts with the dealer. If the dealer doesn't have Blackjack to start, then regular play begins.
The action starts with players placing bets, using chips purchased from the dealer, until the dealer signals “no more bets”. The dealer then deals two cards facing up to each player, and two to herself, with one card face up, the other face down.
If she has a ten or an ace, she will check to see if the face-down card adds up to a Blackjack, or 21 points. If so, the round is over and all players automatically lose – unless one of the players also has Blackjack, in which case they get to keep their original bet.
If the dealer goes over 21 points, then any player who didn’t already bust, or exceed 21, will win. If the dealer doesn’t bust, then the higher point total between the player and dealer will win. If point totals are the same, it’s a tie, or push, and the player keeps their original bet.
