Blackjack is one of the most popular casino games in the world. Like poker, it offers an ideal balance between luck and strategy, so the player's personal skills will be crucial to achieving good results. It is an exciting game that can easily make you a winner of a small fortune. For those of you who are new to the game blackjack, here we will give you basic information about the game. The object of the game is to beat the dealer. The winner is the closest to 21 achieved by adding cards to your two original cards. King, Queen, Jack and 10 all have the value of 10 and the other cards have their numeric value. Aces can have both a value of 1 and 10 and the player decides this according to his / her needs.
As soon as the dealer hands out two cards to each player, he starts acting with each hand individually. You win if you finally have cards with total value closer to value 21. If the dealer has cards with value closer to 21 than you lose your hand. If both have the same value, no one wins or loses. The rules are very easy to follow. If the dealer's hand is 16 or less, he will receive an additional card. If the dealer's hand is 17 or more, the dealer must stand. The bank's strategy is determined, regardless of the other players' decisions.
If you receive cards with a value of 21 on the first two cards, you win automatically. If you receive a King, Lady, Jack or 10 along with an Ace you have received "Blackjack". One of the best aspects of Blackjack is the opportunity to increase your bets "mid-hand" if you think you have a good chance of winning. When you have the opportunity to make these efforts, we advise you to utilize them. A situation where you can increase your bet is called "double". If you win the bet you will be paid for two bets and receive twice the amount of your original bet. Of course, if you lose, you lose both bets. If there is a draw you will get your two bets back.
A further way to increase your bets mid-hand is "split". If your original two cards are a pair, such as Save-Seven or Hearts-Seven, you can choose to split the cards into two different hands. To do this, you must bet a bet equal to your original bet. As soon as you have separated the cards into two hands, the dealer will give you extra cards for your first hand until you decide to stand. Then you will be dealt cards to the next hand.
