Introduction
Blackjack is a popular casino game that is played with a deck of 52 cards. The object of the game is to achieve a higher hand than the dealer. In order to do this, players must draw cards until they have three of the same value. Aces are high, 2 through 10 are low.
After players have drawn cards, the dealer exposes his hand and players decide whether to stand or hit. If player decides to hit, they must compare their hand to the dealer’s and if they are equal, the player loses their original bet and any additional chips put in by the player during that round. If player decides to stand, they receive two new cards and must continue playing as before. Blackjack is one of the easiest games to learn and can be enjoyed by both beginners and experienced players alike.
How To Play Blackjack
To begin playing blackjack, place your initial bet (in chips) next to the blackjack table. After you have selected your table and seated yourself, shuffle the deck and deal five cards face down to each player clockwise. The remaining card (the “hole card”) is placed on the middle of the table in front of the dealer. The dealer then flips over his remaining card which becomes his first up card (this card will determine how high or low he plays). The next player clockwise then drAWS one card from the deck and places it face down on top of his previous card- this becomes his current hand (counts as one point).
The dealer then drAWS another card; this becomes his second upcard which will determine how high or low he plays next round. If a player’s current hand totals 21 or more (called a “natural”), he automatically wins the game regardless of what other players might do. If you are dealt a natural (21), simply place all your chips on the table, regardless of what other players might do; if you are not dealt a natural, you must either hit or stand depending on your current hand. If another player also has a natural, both players lose their bet and play again from their original hand values; if no one has a natural, that player wins whatever chips were placed on the table by all other players at that particular point in time – even if that amount is negative! Continuing with our example: If Player A has a 7-card hand which totals 21 points including their hole card (the 4), they would win automatically since no one else at that table has a better hand!
The beauty of blackjack is that it can be played with just about any combination of hands; even two pairs can be fun! Just remember that each point equals one chip so even less valuable hands like two threes (three points each) count just as much as an ace-high hand!
There are several strategies that can be employed when playing blackjack but for beginners just stick with basic rules like always drawing two cards and comparing them to your current hand before making any decisions. As long as you keep track of your points and don’t over-extend yourself, you should have no trouble winning some free chips at blackjack!
