Each round of blackjack begins with the players at the table, making bets in special areas called “boxes”. Each table has maximum and minimum bets that players can place. By clicking on the icons of chips with a denomination, the size of the chance can be adjusted.
Here are the main blackjack rounds:

  1. Buying chips
  2. Rate
  3. Distribution of cards to players
  4. Playing your hand (combinations of cards)
  5. Draw a hand by the dealer
  6. Payment

The game begins with the participants determining the size of the bets and making them. Then the croupier deals two cards to each player. He takes one closed and one open card for himself. After receiving the cards, players have to decide what to do next. Options can be as follows:

  1. Refuse to continue by surrendering the cards and spending half of the bet.
  2. Ask for one card, but then you lose the initial bet
  3. Double the already existing bet and take a card from the deck
  4. Split two identical cards

It is worth knowing the main blackjack terms:

• Hit – a selection, you can make up to 21 points or a raid;
• Stand – a command to the dealer that the cards are not needed;
• Double Down – doubling the bet;
• Split – distribution of a hand of two cards of the same denomination into two hands, provided that the initial bet is doubled. Next – one card for each hand. In some varieties, the split is not allowed or does not work on fives, or is made by one player no more than four times;
• Surrender – after surrendering the hand, the player does not continue, taking half of the bet made.

In order to win in blackjack, you need to follow the rules and avoid overdoing it. Pass in time, be careful if you already have 12 points in your hands.

Card values ​​in blackjack

Each card in blackjack has a certain value. The sum of the points of all the cards included in the hand is called the value of the hand.
Ace — 11 points or 1 point, depending on the situation. It is worth 11 points in total. If the total number of points in a hand with an ace, counted at 11, is more than 21 points, then the ace counts for 1 point.
Kings, Queens, Jacks, Tens — 10 points
Cards from two to nine – respectively from 2 to 9 points.

Basic rules for blackjack

During your turn, you may draw an additional card(s) to increase the value of your hand. When you finish getting cards, the dealer will also finish his hand. There are clear rules about what move the dealer makes in any given situation. These rules are different for each variation.

For a blackjack to count, it must be formed from the first two cards dealt to you. It is impossible to lose him. However, a draw can occur if the dealer also has blackjack.
