Learn To Play - Blackjack
The Game:
In Blackjack, you play your hand against the dealer's hand. Your goal as the player is to draw cards (i.e. "hit") until your hand adds up to 21, or as close as possible without exceeding 21. If your first two cards total 21, you have Blackjack. Our Blackjack game uses four 52-card decks.
To Bet:
The minimum bet is $1 and the maximum is $200.
You place the bet by entering the amount you wish to wager and click PLAY.
The Rules:
Hit
This button deals you another card. If your 2 cards equal 10, then you have nothing to lose by requesting another card since your total could not exceed 21.
Stand
This means that you are satisfied with the hand and do not wish to risk exceeding 21 by receiving another card.
Split
If your first two cards are of the same value, you may split them into two separate hands, placing a second wager of equal value. You then proceed to draw cards as usual. If you split two aces and one of your hands totals 21, this is not considered Blackjack, but 21.
Double Down
On any two cards, you may "double down". Your wager is doubled, and you are allowed to HIT and receive just one additional card.
Insurance:
Insurance is a game of its own within Blackjack, and gives you the chance to protect yourself when you believe that the dealer might have Blackjack. If the dealer's first card is an Ace, he is considered to have a fair chance of getting Blackjack. If you believe that the dealer's hidden card is of value 10, you may buy insurance against the dealer's Blackjack at the price of half your initial bet. If the dealer does have Blackjack, the insurance pays 2 to 1, corresponding to the amount of your initial bet. If you have bought insurance, and the dealer does not have Blackjack, you lose your insurance. Your initial bet is then settled by comparing your cards with the dealer's.
Rules for the Dealer:
The dealer must draw cards until he has at least 17, and must stand at 17 or higher. If the dealer gets 16, he must take another card. The dealer may not decide whether or not to draw a card based on your hand, but must abide by the dealer rules.
On the other hand, your player strategy should be guided by two factors:
