Blackjack rules
We have laid out the basic rules in a simple way so that you can start in a few minutes with the blackjack practice that we offer.
Table organization: dealer and up to 7 players.
The main goal of the game: using your cards, win when you get 21 or the number closest to 21, without passing. If you are over 21, you will automatically lose your hand. This situation is called "BUST"or " Pass". In Blackjack, you play against a casino dealer and try to win his cards: you don't play against other players.
Payment: usually 1: 1. Please note the exceptional cases below.
Cost of cards:
Letters numbers: (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10): they have the value printed numbers.
Face cards: Jack, Queen and King: Always worth 10.
ACE: 1 or 11, according to what the player chooses in each hand.
Game starts: each player bets on the table. The dealer deals two cards to each player and two to himself. Cards are dealt face up (up). One of the dealer's cards is dealt face down and is called a "closed card".
Blackjack: a combination of two cards (including AS and another card with a value of 10) that is up to 21 is called Blackjack. It's a winning combination. If the player makes blackjack, he wins 3: 2, if the dealer does not have blackjack either. In this case, a draw or PUSH is declared (the situation when the player and the dealer have the same number of points). In this case, the player returns the bet made and he returns the money he made.
Insurance: Offered to players when the dealer's open card is an ACE, as insurance in case the dealer can make blackjack. The amount of this insurance is half of the original rate. If the dealer gets blackjack, the player wins 2-1.
Player movements. After receiving their cards the player can use any of the following options:
HIT (take a letter): get an extra letter. The player can do this several times until he is satisfied with the cards he has or until he deals 21. ( BUST ),
STAND: Play two initial cards without collecting more cards.
DOUBLE DOWN: Double the original bet. In this case, only one card can be added to the hand. This option is only available if the player has not used other options.
SPLIT: if the first two cards are identical (a pair), the player can choose to SPLIT and "split" them, i.e. play them separately. To do this, place a bet equal to the amount of the original bet. The dealer will then split them to create two independent hands.
GIVE UP: allows a player to give up their hand by paying half of their original bet. This option is only available in some casinos. Sometimes it is only available if the dealer does not have blackjack.
Dealer moves: after all players have finished their hands, it is the dealer's turn. This is subject to the rules previously defined by the house written on the Blackjack table. Typically, the dealer must make a HIT (take a card) until he reaches 17 or more. In the case of "Soft 17", in which the hand includes an ACE, you may need to take another card (HIT soft 17) or play two initial cards (rack) on all seventeen.
