| BlackJack Rules |
 |
At the Casinos, Blackjack games are the
most popular, and we know why…- The house doesn’t
have the odds fixed to win every time. When you are playing,
the cards that are drawn from the deck are depleted, making
each hand unique because the cards at the deck vary.- The rules
for Blackjack are easy and few, making the game very simple
to play.- Is a game of skill, not only luck. You have to know
when to hit or stay.
Blackjack is the game that pays more at
Casinos and has a low minimum betting. |
|
| Object Of The Game |
| The game is quite simple. You have to
reach 21 or the closest card point total, without getting more
than 21 points. To beat the house, you need to have more card
points than the dealer. Although there are many players at the
table, Blackjack is an individual game, you don’t play
in group, you play alone, and your main objective is to beat
the house, not reaching 21 card points. |

| Playing The Game |
| The player that gets the
first card is the one at the left of the dealer. The dealer
starts with the one at his left and continues to deal one card
to each player and one for himself. (This card is putted with
its face up). Once he does that, starts dealing another card
to each of the players and a second one to him (This time the
cards has its face down)
Once every player has two cards, the dealer asks the player
at his left if he wants one more card. This process is made
one player at the time. This is done until each player stands
or busts (exceeds 21). When every player is done, the dealer
begins to draw cards for himself. The rules may vay from Casino
to Casino, but usually the Dealer has to Hit if he has less
than 16 card points and Stand if he has 17 card point or more.
Once the dealer has finished his turn and assuming he didn’t
bust, he starts the payout and collects all the loser hands.
One all this is performed, the game starts all over. |

Most Casinos play a multi-deck game. When
this happens, all cards are dealt with its faces up and the
players can’t touch the cards or the initial bet. This
has to advantages, the game speed increases and players can’t
cheat but changing cards or wages.The first ones to play are
the players, having the option of hitting or standing. Depending
on the initial two cards dealt to them, they also have the option
of split or double down. |
| The player has to decide what
to do depending on the cards he has and the cards the dealer
has. Usually, if the dealer has a card bigger than seven the
player has good chances of winning if he hits between twelve
and sixteen. If the player has seventeen or more, he should
stand, because the chances of busting are high. When all
the players are done, it’s the dealers turn. He has
the same options that the players has, but he has to play
according to the dealer’s rules. The rules usually state
that the dealer has to hit if he has less than sixteen and
stand if he has more than seventeen.
The players have the option of splitting. They can do this
if they have a pair. If he splits, he’s going to play
two different hands with those cards. The right card is the
first to be played and the left one is the last. Usually,
on a pair of aces, if you get a ten is not considered Blackjack.
And if the dealer gets a Blackjack the player loses. You indicate
that you want to split if he puts a bet for the same amount
of the initial bet without touching the cards or the initial
bet.
When the player doubles down, indicates that he thinks he
can beat the dealer with only one more card. At this point,
the player can double the initial bet and get his card. Usually
Casinos allow players to Double Down in any hand except the
ones that totals twenty one, but a few limit the Double Down
to hands totaling nine, ten or eleven.
One option that some Casinos offer is to Surrender. If the
player thinks his hand cannot beat the dealer he can surrender
and the dealer will take his cards and half the bet, leaving
the remaining bet on the table for the next hand. |

| Blackjack Betting Rules |
 |
|
The bets are placed before any card is
dealt.
The payouts are like this:-
If the hand of the player beats the dealer, the player wins
even money, and three to two if he hits a Blackjack. If the
dealer has an ace with its face up, insurance bets are offered.
If
this happens, the dealer will ask if anyone wants an insurance.
If the player choose to do this, he can bet an amount as big
as his initial bet. If the card facing down is a ten, the player
will be paid two to one for his insurance bet. This is totally
apart from your initial bet, the player will have to beat the
dealer to win the initial bet. |
