Table blackjack is a casino game that is played with a group of three or more players. The game is played with a standard 52-card deck, plus an additional joker card. The object of the game is to score as many points as possible by playing cards that add up to totals of thirteen or more. A player begins the game by selecting one or more cards to be placed face down in front of them. Cards are then drawn from the deck and placed face up in front of the player, one at a time, until someone plays a card that makes their total 13 or more. If a player has two cards that make their total 13, they are awarded a free hit.
If they have only one card that makes their total 13, they must either place that card in front of them or surrender the hand (or both hands if they are playing with two). After all players have either placed cards or surrendered, the next player starts the process over by selecting one or more cards to be placed face down in front of them. The game continues until someone either achieves a total of 13 or folds (comes out of the hand without placing any cards). At this point, the player with the highest total (not including any free hits) wins the hand.
One thing to keep in mind when playing table blackjack is the fact that it can be quite easy for someone to go too far ahead on their score and wind up losing everything that they have worked for. It is important to stay disciplined and mindful of how much you are actually risking on each hand, as making too many mistakes can easily lead to ruinous consequences.
