Blackjack Rules

Dad Can Teach You

Blackjack rules are pretty simple once you learn them. So this page will do just that: teach you online blackjack rules. First thing’s first, you place your bet. Once that is done, each player is dealt two cards face down, while the dealer deals one card up and one card down. After this, the game begins, and the black jack rules are as follows: you can HIT, STAND, DOUBLE DOWN, or SPLIT PAIRS.

How to Play Blackjack:

HIT: If you want to draw another card, you can take a hit. You can take as many hits as you want until you have a “hard 20” (which means that you have no Aces in your hand, because an Ace can be 1 or 11).

STAND: You don’t take any more cards.

DOUBLE DOWN: You can double your bet. But you can only get one more card. It is advisable to do this only when you have a good hand.

SPLIT PAIRS: If the first cards you are dealt have the same value (called a “pair”), you have the option to split the pair. You will then double your initial bet (by adding the same amount to your second hand), and play two hands.

There are obviously all kinds of Blackjack rules for different games of Blackjack, but these are the minimal requirements to the game. Online black jack rules also differ from playing at a real casino because there are hand signals you do for one of the four options you have. There are different kinds of blackjack strategies to learn that will supplement your newfound blackjack rules. You can learn all of these and more at websites that help you conquer the online casino.

About the Dealer

Getting BLACKJACK is the ultimate goal of the game, which means your first two cards are an ace or a 10/face card. But if the dealer gets blackjack, too, it’s a tie (or also known as a “push”), and you don’t win, but you don’t lose either. You can also get INSURANCE on your hand, if the dealer’s up-card is an Ace (a bet that isn’t more than ½ of your original bet). If the dealer ends up with a 10/face card (and gets BLACKJACK), you win 2 to 1! But if the dealer has any other card, then the dealer wins. Take my advice and check out one of the newest trends online today: live casinos for blackjack games, but only once you feel comfortable with how to play blackjack. Now that you’ve gotten all of the basic black jack rules from Dad, use them with real dealers. The experience and how real it feels will blow you away!
