The aim of blackjack is to strike the dealer's
hand without going over 21.
-
Face cards are value 10. Aces are value 1 or
11, either makes a better hand.
-
Every player starts with two cards, one of the
dealer's cards is hidden awaiting the end.
-
To 'Hit' is to ask for another card. To 'Stand'
is to grip your total and end your loop.
-
If you go into 21 you conked out, and the
dealer wins anyway of the dealer's hand.
-
If you are dealt 21 from the beginning (Ace &
10), you got a blackjack.
-
Blackjack generally means you win 1.5 the
amount of your bet. Depends on the casino.
-
Dealer will beat until his/her cards total 17
or higher.
-
Doubling is like a hit, only the bet is doubled
and you only get one more card.
-
Divide can be finished when you have two of the
similar card - the pair is dividing into two hands.
-
Splitting also doubles the bet, because each
new hand is value the unusual gamble.
-
You can only double/divide on the first shift,
or first shift of a hand created by a split.
-
You cannot play on two aces following they are
opening.
