Please remember that dealers conduct the game according to certain rules. If that is the case, the player neither wins nor loses (stand-off). On an ace split, only one additional card is drawn and it cannot be a blackjack, only a 21.Ī blackjack is an ace and a 10 or a face card and it always stands 21 a dealer’s blackjack always wins.Ī winning blackjack (a natural 21 with the first two cards) pays 3 to 2, provided the dealer does not have a blackjack. In both cases, only the value of the initial bet may be placed. Split = separating two identical cards and playing them in two boxes.ĭouble down = with cards worth from 2 to 11 points, the bet may be doubled, receiving just one additional card. Two cards are dealt to each box and one to the dealer.Īfter cards are dealt, NO bets can be added unless there is a split or a double down. There are 7 boxes with 3 positions (for three players) the player who has placed a bet in the first position “speaks” (decides) in the box.īets are placed in the special spots (boxes) before any card is turned over. In the event of a draw, bets remain in the pot.The dealer must draw a card on 16 and stay on 17. The sum of the cards should be greater than the dealer’s hand, but cannot exceed 21.

The aim of the game is for the player to beat the dealer’s hand. The 2-10 cards are worth their number value, while face cards are worth 10 and the ace counts as 1 or 11.

Blackjack is usually played with 4 to 6 of 52-card decks.
