Black Jack Basics – Part 1
The basic concept of the card game is to be given cards totaling up to twenty-one. Each blackjack player is given 2 cards. When a player is dealt a 9 or less and an Ace they have been handed a soft hand. When the blackjack player is dealt no Ace cards it is known as a hard hand. Once the cards have been dealt every player at the table, which includes the dealer, each player is given the chance to make one of six choices:
Requesting another card (Hit): When a blackjack player announces hit me the croupier will give them another card, if the addition of that card makes the value of the hand to exceed twenty-one the blackjack player will have lost and be excluded from the game, if the card pushes the value of the hand to twenty-one the player wins and if the total hasn't yet reached 21 they're still in the game.
Keeping the hand you've been given: If a blackjack player is happy with the cards they'll stay. As soon as this has happened the croupier will display his/her cards and the gambler who has accumulated twenty one or the nearest to twenty one will win.
Doubling Down: A blackjack player may request to double down which increases the wager by one hundred percent they have made. As soon as you've taken this action you can only be given 1 more card. The details of doubling down are often out lined by the table or betting house rules so prior to playing make certain you are familiar with the house game rules. If you are gambling at an internet casino this is usually quite simple.
Stay tuned for part 2.
