Blackjack Strategies

The game became known as Blackjack because if a player held a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the 1st two cards, the player was paid out extra. The blackjack table seats 1 to 7 players and each player has a betting square printed in front of them on the felt and each table will have a minimum bet which you should check before sitting down. Once all bets are down the dealer will deal two cards, one at a time, from left to right until both the players and dealer has two cards. In a shoe game the cards are dealt face up and you shouldn't touch the cards. In face down card games you can pick up the cards but you must not use more than one hand to pick them up. The object of the game is to obtain a hand of cards totaling up to 21 or as close to 21 as possible without going over. Tables and online casinos will have a minimum bet required to play the game. Card between 2 and 10 simply have their face value regardless of suit. If the dealer's hand is between 17 and 21, he or she may not draw any additional card. If the dealer's hand is 16 or below, cards must be drawn until the dealer's hand has a value of 17 or higher. Blackjack can be won in a few different ways. If the dealer "Busts" or has a hand that exceeds 21 and your hand is less than 21, you win! Stand - you stand if you don't want any more cards. Split - if your starting hand contains two cards of the same type (i.e. two 9's) you can split them up into two new hands.
