BLACKJACK

Blackjack is a  gambling game using cards were the object is to hold cards having a higher count than those dealt to the banker up to but not exceeding 21. Blackjack is one of the best casino games to play. It can also be one of the worst games to play if we don?t know the strategy of the game.

The step by step procedure of blackjack is

 first thing you do after getting your chips is place a bet You do this by placing chips in front of you. Most casinos have a circle where you put your wager. After you place your bet the dealer gives you two cards and also deals him or herself two cards. The dealers cards are placed one face up and one face down. The combined information of your two cards and the dealers up card help you make the best decision on how to play your hand. You have the following choices on how to play your hand.

Stand - When you stand that means you don't take any more cards. When playing live blackjack you can say stand or stay or you can pass your hand over your cards palm down to signal that you stand.

Hit - When you hit the dealer gives you another card. In live play you can say hit or hit me or tap the table or scratch the table back towards yourself away from the dealer.

Split - When your first two cards are of the same value, for example a pair of eights or two ten value cards like a Jack and a King, you may split these into two separate hands. You do this by pushing a bet forward equal to your original bet and splitting your cards. The dealer then deals you a second card onto each hand.

Double Down - When you double down you double your original bet and receive only one more card and then must stand. Some casinos allow you to double down after splitting while others do not.

Surrender - (Not available at all casinos.) When you surrender, you forfeit your hand after seeing your first two cards and the dealers up card and you get back half your bet.
