• Black Jack Basics – Part One

    [ English ]

    The basic premise of the card game is to be handed cards adding up to 21. Each competitor is handed two cards. When a player is dealt a nine or less and an Ace they have been handed a soft hand. When the black jack player is dealt no Ace cards it is known as a hard hand. Once the cards have been dealt all players at the table, including the dealer, each gambler is given the opportunity to make 1 of six decisions:

    Taking another card (Hit): When a black jack player says "hit" the croupier will deal them another card, if the adding of that card causes the value of the hand to exceed 21 the gambler will have lost and be excluded from the game, if the card pushes the total to 21 the black jack player wins and if the value of the hand hasn’t yet achieved twenty one they’re still in the game.

    Keeping the hand you have been dealt: If a black jack player is happy with the hand they’ll stand. Once this has happened the dealer will reveal his or her cards and the black jack player who has accumulated twenty-one or the closet to twenty one will acquire a win.

    Doubling Down: A gambler might request to double down which doubles the wager they have laid. As soon as you have taken this action you can only receive 1 more card. The specifics of doubling down are often specified by the blackjack table or casino rules so prior to competing make certain you’re at ease with the casino rules. If you’re playing at a net casino this is usually very easy.

    Watch for part 2.
