What Does Double Down in Blackjack Mean?

Double Down in Blackjack means to add another card to the current hand. This is done by placing two chips (or tokens) on the table, and then taking another card. The bet is then increased by two times the original amount. For example, if someone had a five-card hand (two of clubs, two of spades, ace of hearts), and placed a single chip on the table, they would then take another card and place two chips on the table.

Their bet would now be six chips (two chips x 2). If they were to double down, they would add another chip to their bet (six chips x 2 = 12 chips).
