The key to earning a winning hand is understanding the basic rules of the game and how to read the Dealer’s cards. Following these simple tips will help players achieve the best possible odds of winning.
Basic Strategy for Blackjack
The goal of blackjack is to achieve as high a score as possible by playing cards that are rank and suit (face value). Cards that are higher than the current number on the screen are worth more than cards that are lower, and Ace is worth one point.
Cards that are two through Ten (plus Ace) rank in order, with higher numbers being worth more than lower numbers.
To play a card, place it face down in front of you or next to your current hand and cover it with either your left or right hand. Then turn your card over so that everyone can see what it is.
You may continue to play cards until all your cards have been turned over, at which point you stop and look at your hands – you may then discard any cards you wish. The player with the highest total (sum of all face values of their cards) at the end of the round wins that round.
