How To Play Blackjack Game

By John Fair


Blackjack, also referred to as twenty one is a very popular casino card game which involves betting. The game can also be played online. This article gives you tips on how to play blackjack online.

The object is for the dealer to be beaten with a value of cards that is either twenty one or as near as possible to twenty one without exceeding it. If it is exceeded, then it is an automatic loss for the person who exceeds.

In this game, the suit that you have does not matter. What matters is the value, and you get this by adding the number value of the cards at hand. Number two up until number ten have the value of their numbers. An ace can either be worth one or eleven, whichever is better for the holder. So if one has an ace and a two, it adds to thirteen or three. Face cards for example king, queen and jack are worth ten.

It can be played with either one deck, four decks, eight decks, six decks or two decks each having fifty two cards. When the dealer deals, the cards are compared. If one exceeds twenty one, then they bust. That is an automatic loss. Similarly, when the dealer busts, you win. Because the player must always act first, it is possible to bust and lose, whether or not the dealer busts.

The game usually has six players. Before anyone receives cards, bets are made. Each person is dealt two cards, both face up. The dealer gets one face down and another face up. If one has an ace and a ten, that is a blackjack and they win the game, unless if the dealer also has twenty one, in which case it is a push. Upon winning, a player receives one and a half times their bet. When one ties with the dealer they get back their money.

When the dealer has a value of sixteen and under, they draw and when it is seventeen or higher they stay. When a player beats the dealer and everyone else they win. The others check their values. If it is lower than the dealer they lose but if it is higher, they get their bet money back. In the event that a dealer busts, all the players win.

A player can split their cards only if the prior cards are of the same value. The two hands then begin with one of the similar cards. A bet equivalent to the one on the first hand is made on the second. There are many variations of blackjack, but in most cases the general rules and object of the are the same.
