Blackjack Rules
Blackjack is played with a deck of 52 cards.
There are one to six decks to be played. The idea is that the player is competing to get to 21 without going over or busting against the dealer.
Each gets two cards, the first card shows both players their original stance, and the dealer gets the second card last, which will decide the final results.
In one deck games the cards are dealt face down, and more decks are dealt face up. Cards are worth their face value, King, Queen, and Jacks are worth 10 and Aces are worth either one or eleven, at the players choosing.
If the player goes over 21, he looses. If a dealer goes over 21, and the player is under, then they win the money. If there is a tie, or a push, no money is won or lost. Any amount at 21 equals a blackjack. The payout odds are 3-2, if the dealer doesn’t have a blackjack, in which case it’s a tie, and nothing is won or lost.
Blackjack Advanced Tips:
If a player has more than 16, he should stay. He can’t win unless the dealer busts. A player should stand despite what cards the dealers gets. Never double down in this case.
You can sometimes ask for insurance, to ensure yourself in case the dealer wins. You will be asked to take insurance by the dealer upon the flip of his first card.
Always double on Aces or Eights. Always play good paying tables. Pay attention to what you have, if need be, count your cards. You can better count cards on one -deck hands, but there never is a guarantee. Manage your money well, never bet high or double on hands. Be your own accountant.
