Starting to the dealer's left side, the cards are dealt in a round one at a time to each player ending with the dealer receiving his second card face down. The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10. Insurance - is offered to the players if the dealer's up card is an Ace, to protect against a dealers Black Jack.
