One of the simplest and most popular games in any casino the world over is blackjack. Learning the basics is as easy as doing arithmetic, but mastering your cards takes experience and more than a little luck.

The goal of blackjack is to have a hand that is better than the dealer’s and as close to 21 as possible without going over. Each player places a bet and is then dealt two cards face up. The dealer also receives two cards but only shows one. Based on that card each player must make a decision on their hand. There are two options: hit or stand.

A hit will bring you another card and a stand means you are happy with what you have. A third option is that you can “double down” and this is where you double your bet and get one more card. Keep in mind that when making your decision you should make the appropriate hand gesture as this is to ensure there are no disputes.

Cards primarily use their face value in Blackjack with a few exceptions. Face cards are worth ten and an Ace can be either a one or an eleven depending on which one with benefit the player. If a player is dealt a ten/face card and an ace then they have Blackjack and automatically win their hand. Most winning wagers pay 1:1 but blackjack pays out slightly more at 1.5:1. That is if you make a $10 bet and get blackjack you win $15.

You can also split your cards if you get dealt a pair and play two hands at once. Keep in mind this means you will be placing an additional bet and in many casinos when you split aces you will only receive one card.

Blackjack may differ slightly depending on which venue you choose to play in so don’t be afraid to ask the dealer any questions you may have about the rules of the table. Then it’s up to you and lady luck to either line your pockets or clean them out.
