Blackjack card rules

Have you ever wondered how to play this game  and have fun at the same time? Please follow these simple  blackjack card rules Ace and a ten has outlined below, and you will be on your way. The magic number you need to aim for is twenty-one. At this time is important to note that the various suits are not of importance in this game. The sole value of the card is what is of major significance.

So we have the numbered cards which are numbered two to nine inclusive. What about the picture cards? I hear you cry, well this is when it get's exciting. The King's , Queens and Jacks all have a numeric value of ten. Ace's are special they can either have the value of eleven or one, which is of most benefit to the player.

In this game we play against the dealer of the table, trying to accumulate a hand that is twenty-one or less, without going over, if we do we loose that game, and the dealer wins the game. Please note at the very start of every game the player is dealt two cards, if you are lucky to get an Ace of any suit and a ten, the player has what we call in the business Blackjack and this can win the game, if the dealer was not dealt a twenty-one in the initial dealt hand.

Please note in the initial dealt hand, and the summation of the dealt cards are less than twenty-one, you can request additional cards to obtain a value closer to twenty-one, additional cards are called "Hit's" If you are offered a card and do not wish to accept due to that you might go over and "Bust" you are "Standing".One can see this is not a hard game to get to grips with. When the player stands or busts, then it is the dealer's time to complete their hand. Now if the dealer has gone over twenty-one ( busts) and the player cards are twenty-one or less then the player wins. Hooray I hear you cry. If both the dealer and player have less than twenty-one, and the dealer has less than the player, then the player wins again wooohooo. In a case where the player and the dealer have the same card count value and the value is under twenty-one then that is called a PUSH ( a tie) and no one wins or looses. The only way a player can lose without going over twenty-one is when the dealer is closer to twenty-one. Please note that the table is usually printed with the rules of winning and the pay ratio.
