How Are Cards Dealt in Blackjack?

Cards are dealt face down in blackjack. The dealer initializes the deck by dealing two cards face up to each player, then placing the remaining cards face down on the table. The first player then takes either of the two cards offered and places them face up on the table in front of them. If they are higher than the dealer’s card, they “win” the hand and collect their original bet plus any additional money won from the other players.

If their card is lower, they “lose” the hand and lose their original bet, as well as any additional money they may have won from other players. Play then continues clockwise around the table.
