How to Play Blackjack 

Players have one goal in mind when they sit at the blackjack table: obtaining a card total of 21 (with as little cards as possible). If they don’t get 21 exactly, they should aim for as close to that number as possible without going any higher.

The Player and Dealer go toe-to-toe. If the Player lands 21, they have blackjack and win the round with a 3:2 payout. If they don’t have 21 but their hand does beat the Dealer’s, they win and get a 1:1 payout. To beat the Dealer’s hand, the Player total must be less than 21 but more than the Dealer’s, or less than 21 when the Dealer total is more than 21.

The game begins with the player and the dealer each receiving 2 cards from a 52-card deck. In some variations of blackjack, a shoe of 6 or even 8 decks is used. Players can see both of their blackjack cards, and 1 of the dealer’s which faces upwards. Based only on the blackjack cards they can see and their own understanding of probabilities, they need to decide what to do next.

Blackjack Terminology

The blackjack terminology listed below explains the different events that can happen after the initial cards have been given out to the dealer as well as to all players sitting at the table.

• If the player gets a hand total that exceeds 21, they will go ‘bust’
• Players can ‘hit’ until they have exceeded 21 (collect another card) 
• To ‘stand’ means that the player will keep their current cards and do not collect any more cards 

• Doubling down refers to the player receiving one more card 
• Splitting: If the player has 2 cards of the same value, they can split them up into 2 hands (the player can then play out the separate hands) 

Card Values

• Number cards are valued at their card number
• Face cards are valued at 10
• Aces are valued at either 1 or 11, depending on what works best with the rest of the cards in the hand
