The object of blackjack is to geta total value of cards close to twenty one, without going over this number. Numerated cards are worth their face value. Face cards such as Kings, Queens and Jacks — are each worth 10. Aces are worth either 1 or 11, as the player wants.

When the total value of your cards goes past 21, you “bust”, which means you lose. If your total is less than or equal to 21 and the dealer’s total is over 21, then the dealer busts and you win. If either your total or the dealer’s total exceeds 21, then the higher total wins. In the case of a tie, no one wins and no one loses. A tie is called a “push”.

As you place your bet you have begun the game. Next the dealer deals two cards to you and one to himself. Usually these cards are dealt face-up. Then the dealer gives himself a second card face-down. This is called the hole card. Now you have to make a decision, either to call for another card or pass to the dealer.

When the face-up card of the dealer is an Ace, you will be asked if you want “insurance”. The cost of insurance is one-half your original bet. Your insurance bet pays 2 to 1 if the dealer gets blackjack, which will equal the amount you lose on the original bet.

Casinos deal blackjack from a single deck or from multiple decks. Mostly, the dealer is used to “discard” or burn the top card after shuffling.

BlackJack game, also called as “twenty one″ is played with 6 card deck of 52 cards given by the dealer. He deals the cards to every player around the table and one to the board . To win, players must collect a total value close to 21 or even 21, but not more than that. The value of the cards is determined by the following way: from 2 to 9, the face value, while 10, jack, queen and king are valued as 10.

About aces, the player can chose between 1 and 11. Blackjack is payed 1.5 the bet just when 21 is reached by two cards. On his/her side, the dealer has to pick up a card only when the total is lower or equal number 16, and has to stay when he/she reached 17 or more . If the player and the dealer have the same total, no one wins.

Blackjack is one of the most practiced games in casino all over the world. It’s played with one or more poker decks. Every round, a player must act as a dealer.

When playing with friends, a card deck could be enough, but in a regular casino you should use at least 6 deck, for a total of 312 cards.
