The principle of the game is to achieve a score as close to 21 as possible, without going over. Each card has a value, with Ace representing 1 or 11, face cards representing 10 and all other cards at face value. The game starts with both the dealer and the player being dealt two cards. The player’s cards are both face up, but only one of the dealers in visible. Based on both the value of the two cards belonging to the player, and the visible one of the dealer’s pair, the player decides on what action to take.
There are strict rules governing the dealer’s actions, they must draw to 17 and stand once their score is above that. The player however is free to take any action that they choose (within the rules of the game of course) however should the player go bust (over 21) then the bet is lost irrespective of what the dealer gets. Should the player’s score beat the dealers then the bet is won, and the winnings and stake returned to the player.
The key objective to this amazing casino table game is to achieve a natural blackjack, which is an Ace and a card valued at 10 as the first two cards dealt to the dealer. If this occurs the player wins and is paid out immediately. Conversely, should the dealer be dealt a natural blackjack then that hand ends there and the player’s bet is lost.
The easiest way to learn blackjack and best the dealer is to pay close attention to the dealer’s card that is visible; this allows the player to develop a strategy accordingly. Players should also remember that in Blackjack they are statistically more likely to draw a 10 than any other card value; this too should be factored in. For example if a player’s first two cards have the total value of 11, players should seriously consider doubling down (expecting a 10 to be drawn to give them 21) however if the player’s cards total 16 and the dealers cards total 14 the player may choose to stand knowing the dealer must draw, and hope that they go bust.
