Blackjack is played with a standard 52 deck of cards, and the object of the game is for each participant to beat the dealer by getting a count as close to 21 as possible, without going over 21.
Each cards count as their own face value and it doesn't matter what suit the card is. Kings, Queens and Jacks cards all count as ten while an ace can be counted as either a once or an eleven. The total of any hand is the sum of all the card values in your hand.
When the players cards are dealt they have the option to stand, hit, surrender, double down, or split. The dealer then plays and they have to hit on 16 or less while they must stand on any total between seventeen and twenty one.
Players win when their final hand total is higher than the dealer’s hand, or they have 21 or less when the dealer exceeds twenty one and busts.
The best hand you can be drawn is known as Blackjack, this is when a player is given an ace with any ten value card be it the 10, Jack, Queen, or King. If a player has Blackjack the dealer will payout one and a half times the original bet. The only exception to this is if the dealer also has draws Blackjack, in which case it’s a its a tie and neither wins.
A player loses their bet when they go bust, or when their total hand is less in value than the dealer’s hand. If the player and the dealer are tied with the same value of cards in their hands this is known as a tie, or a push, and the player retains their bet.
