Welcome to our quick guide on how to play the 21 card game, also known as Blackjack. This exciting game combines luck and strategy, making it a favorite at casinos worldwide. Here’s how you can get started:
Objective
- Your goal is to have your cards total 21 or come closer to 21 than the dealer without exceeding it.
Setup
- Each player is dealt two cards face up.
- The dealer receives one card face up and one face down (the hole card).
Gameplay
- Hit: Ask for another card to increase your total.
- Stand: Keep your current total and end your turn.
- Double Down: Double your bet and receive only one more card.
- Split: If you have two cards of the same value, split them into two hands.
Winning
- If your cards total exactly 21, you have a “Blackjack” and usually win 1.5 times your bet.
- If the dealer exceeds 21, all remaining players win.
Strategy Tips
- Always stand when your hand total is 17 or higher.
- Always hit if your hand total is 11 or lower.
