How to Play Blackjack

blackjack

Blackjack is a game of skill, where players try to beat the dealer. Players make bets on the hand, and if their hand is higher than the dealer’s, they win. But if their hand is lower, they lose. Typically, the casino offers a side bet called insurance, which pays 2:1.

The first two cards of the player’s hand must total 21, known as “blackjack.” A “perfect” hand is one that combines a Jack, Queen or King with 10. The ace and ten-card are also considered perfect. Normally, a dealer has a blackjack when he has a total of 17 or more. If the dealer has a natural, he collects all of the bets of all of the players.

To play blackjack, a player must bet in each of the betting positions on the table. There are a few options that a player has, including drawing, standing, doubling down, splitting, and surrendering. Each option has its own set of rules. These rules can vary, but usually include a basic strategy. It is important to understand the rules and options before playing a hand.

When the dealer’s up card is an ace, he must offer a side bet called insurance. This bet is bad for the player, since it only pays 2:1. Moreover, it’s an unwise bet because it protects the dealer from being blackjacked.

Another bet that is sometimes offered is an early surrender, which allows the player to forfeit half of his bet before the dealer checks for blackjack. Most casinos allow this, but not all. Some casinos even limit the number of splits.

In the past, the dealer was required to stand on 17 through 21. However, in 1956, a rule change changed the way the game was played. Since then, the dealer must act last. Usually, the dealer will hit on 16 or less, stand on 17, and hit on 18.

After the initial two-card hand is dealt, the player has a few decisions to make. They can hit, stand, or double down. Depending on the house rules, they may also be able to surrender. Sometimes, a late surrender is allowed. With this option, the player forfeits the original bet after the player draws a new card. Unless the dealer draws a blackjack, he can only surrender after the dealer has checked for blackjack.

Depending on the rules of the game, there are also other betting options. Generally, you can keep your $10 bet on the next hand. You can also double down if you have favorable cards. Doubles pay 3:2, while hitting only pays 1:5. During a pair split, the player can double down on both hands.

Blackjack is a game of skill, but there are ways to improve your chances of winning. One strategy is to avoid the dealer. By doing so, you can reduce the house edge to less than 1%. Likewise, you can bet more after losing a hand to reduce the house edge.
