Blackjack

Blackjack is the most popular casino game in the world.

It is both easy to learn and strategic to master, making it a favorite among players.

OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME

The goal is to have a hand value closer to 21 than the dealer's, without exceeding 21. A perfect hand, called "Blackjack", consists of an Ace and a 10-point card.

HOW TO PLAY

Card Distribution:

• The player receives two face-up cards.
• The dealer receives one face-up card and one face-down card (hole card).

Initial Objective:

• If the player or dealer has a Blackjack (21 with the first two cards), the round is decided immediately.

Player Actions:

• Hit: Request an additional card.
• Stand: Stick with your current total.
• Double: Double your bet and receive one additional card.
• Split: Divide a pair into two separate hands.
• Insurance: Protect your bet if the dealer shows an Ace.
• Even Money: Collect a guaranteed 1:1 payout if you have a Blackjack and the dealer shows an Ace.

ESSENTIAL RULES

Card Values:

• Cards from 2 to 10 are worth their face value.
• Face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth 10 points.
• Aces can be worth 1 or 11, depending on what benefits the hand most.

Blackjack:

• Two cards totaling 21 beat any other combination of cards totaling 21.

Busting (Exceeding 21):

• If the total value of the cards exceeds 21, the hand is lost.

DEALER ACTIONS

• The dealer draws cards until they reach:
  • A hard total of 17 or more.
  • A soft total (including an Ace worth 11) of 18 or more.
• The dealer stands on a hard 17 or more.

KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER

• The maximum payout can reach 2,500 times your total bet.
• In the event of a tie (push), the bet is returned.
• Success involves balancing the risk of busting with the chance of beating the dealer.

Blackjack combines luck and skill, giving players unique control over their decisions. Try your luck and challenge the dealer!
