-Blackjack Overview-The basic idea of Blackjack or 21 as it is sometimes called, is that you want to have a hand that is closer in numeric value to 21 than that of the dealer - without going over 21 (Busting). Your hand is only played out against the hand of the Dealer. Don't worry about the other players, you are only playing against the Dealer. The rules for the Blackjack Dealer are strict, the Dealer makes no decisions, they just follow the rules.-Blackjack Card Values-The suit of the cards (Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, Spades) does NOT matter in Blackjack.Cards 2 through 9 are face value - The number shown on the card. Cards 10, Jack, Queen and King are all valued at 10. The Aces can be valued at 1 or 11. - NOTE: This is an important part of Blackjack strategy, being able to use 2 different values for the Aces. -Blackjack Hand Value-The total of all cards in your hand is your "score", in other words, if you have a 9 (nine) and a King your score is 19 (nineteen), or if you have an Ace (one or eleven) and an 8 (eight) your score could be 9 (Nine) or it could be 19 (nineteen), players choice. (Although, in the last example most players would want the 19).-Blackjack Deal-After the bets are made and placed on the table.Each Blackjack player and the dealer are dealt two cards at the start of the Hand (game). The Deal starts with the player on the far left of the Dealer and then goes clockwise. Depending on the house rules, both of the player's cards can either be face down, face up or one card face up and one face down. (In our Blackjack game both player's cards are face up). The Dealer is always dealt one card face down and one card face up. Once the cards are dealt, play proceeds around the table, starting at the player to the dealer's far left, same as the deal. This player position to the far left of the dealer is also called "first base". Each Blackjack Player only plays against the dealer, not against the other Blackjack players at the table. Only your hand and the Dealer's hand determines if you win or lose. -Blackjack Dealer Rules-The Blackjack Dealer must always play his/her hand according to the house rules, the dealer has no choices or decisions to make as to how to play his/her hand.Our Free Blackjack Game, house rules are the Dealer must stand on 17 (Seventeen). This means that when the Dealers hand equals 17 (Seventeen) or more the Dealer can not draw any more cards. If your hand is 21 or under and you tie the Dealer (you have 20 and the Dealer has 20) this is called a "Push" or "Stand Off". In our Free Blackjack Game when the Dealer and Player tie (Stand Off) the bets are left on the table. (The Player does not lose.) -Blackjack, what is it-A Blackjack is when the first two cards dealt equal 21. An Ace and a Ten, Jack, Queen or King. Once again the cards suit does not matter. (The cards do not have to be "black" to be a Blackjack.) Most Casinos pay time and a half (1.5 times your bet) for a Blackjack. If the Dealer gets a Blackjack you only lose the amount you bet.-Blackjack, how to play--Hitting and Standing,-After the first two cards in the Blackjack game are dealt, the Player must decide if they want to draw another card (Hit) or not draw any more cards (Stand). Deciding to Hit or Stand is the basic fundamental decision of the game of Blackjack.-Doubling Down-After your first two cards are dealt, but before the Player (Hits) draws any cards, The player can decide to double the bet and only take one more card face up. This is a great way for the Player to make some money.Free Blackjack Tip - Best time to Double Down- Player has 11 (eleven) and the Dealer has a 5 or less showing -Splitting Pairs-When the Player is dealt a pair (two of the same cards), The Player has the option, before any cards are drawn to "split" the pair into two hands and play both hands separately. This also doubles your bet as each hand requires a bet in the amount of your original bet. Each hand is played as a normal hand, unless the pair that is being split is a pair of Aces. If the Player splits a pair of Aces, then only one card can be drawn for each hand. Most casinos allow the player to continue to split the hand as long as the Player continues to receive pairs.Tip -The old timers say, "Only split Aces and Eights". -Insurance-When the Dealer has an Ace showing the Player can decide if insurance is wanted. Insurance is just that, Insurance against the Dealer having a Blackjack. Insurance is usually 50% of the original bet, if the Dealer has a Blackjack the insurance bet is paid to the casino, but the original bet is not lost to the Player. If the Dealer does not have a Blackjack the insurance bet is paid to the casino and play continues normally.Blackjack Tip - Insurance is often a losing bet for the Player, be sure of your bet before you place money on insurance. |
