The rules of blackjack are relatively simple, and once you have tried it, it is easy to understand how to play blackjack. The goal is to get as close to 21 as possible. In blackjack ther is a dealer, and one player. The dealer share cards from a box containing 4 different deck of cards. Before handing out cards, players insert their bet, this is done by clicking on the number of $ / € as you want to bet. Once this is done, you click the button labeled deal, and then the game starts.

The gameplay

When the card is being dealt, you are not able to change your bet, however during the game, you will have several options – these are: Double Down, Split, Surrender and Insurance (These three concepts are explained further down the page). After the cards are dealt out, you will get notified if you are able to use one of these options. For example, if there is an opportunity for you to make a split, then a “SPLIT” button pop up, and then you can choose either to press it or leave it.

The minimum bet is typically $ 1 and the maximum you can bet in one round is usually $ 500 – this may vary from casino to casino. Each player receives 2 cards, which will be placed in front upwards, so you can see what cards you have. All the cards has different values, which is listed below:

Cards value

Ace is used as 1 or 11
2-10 gives the number as the map shows (7 gives 7)
Jack, Queen & King gives 10

After you have received the two cards you will be given an option to either “hit” (get another card), or “stand” (keep your current amount of cards). If you “hit” and exceeds 21 in value you will loose. If you “stand” the dealer will now deal cards to himself, one at the time. He’s goal is to beat your value. If he reaches 16 he must stop, and the person who is closest to 21 wins. If the dealer exceeds 21, you will win. If the dealer exceeds the amount of points you have, but is still below 21, you will lose. If both you and the dealer gets the same amount it will be a draw.

Insurance
When the dealers first card is an Ace, you are able to get be on dealer will reach blackjack (21) or not. The insurance bet is equal to you original bet, and is used the minimize the likely loss of this bet. a winning insurance will be paid at odds 2:1 and since the original bet is lost, you will break even if you choose to accept insurance and the dealer gets blackjack.

Surrender
You are able to surrender your hand if it is really bad, compared to the dealers hand. This can, and should, only be done if you for instance has 15, and the dealers first card is 10. If you surrender, half of your bet will be taken by the casino.

Split
If the first 2 cards you receive from the dealer has the same value, you are able to split your hand into 2. You place a new bet, with the same value as the first one, and then play with two hands in one game.

Double down
If you believe that you will beat the dealers hand, you are able to double your original bet.
