Blackjack Basics - Part 1

The general concept of the game is to be assigned cards totaling up to twenty-one. Every player is handed two cards. When a black jack player is dealt a nine or less and an Ace they've been handed a soft hand. When the gambler is dealt no Ace it is called as a hard hand. As soon as the cards have been dealt every player at the table, which includes the dealer, each black jack player is provided the opportunity to make 1 of six choices:

Requesting another card (Hit): When a blackjack player announces "hit me" the dealer will give him another card, if the addition of that card causes the total greater than twenty-one the blackjack player will have busted and be excluded from the game, if the card pushes the total to twenty-one the black jack player will be the winner and if the total hasn't yet reached 21 they are still in the game.

Keeping the hand you've been dealt: If a black jack player is satisfied with the hand they'll stand. As soon as this has happened the croupier will disclose their hand and the gambler who has gotten twenty one or the nearest to twenty one will acquire a win.

Doubling Down: A black jack player might ask to double down which doubles the bet they have laid. As soon as you have taken this procedure you can only be given 1 additional card. The details of doubling down are usually out lined by the blackjack table or betting house rules so prior to gambling make certain you're comfortable with the house rules. If you are competing at a net betting house this is usually quite easy.
