Play blackjack
When you take a seat at a blackjack table, you need to convert your cash into casino chips. Just wait until the dealer completes the hand in progress and place your cash on the table in front of you preferably outside of the betting box (otherwise the cash could be mistaken for a bet on the next hand). The dealer will exchange your cash for an equivalent amount of casino chips. Place the chips in front of you. You are now ready to make your first bet but first let's make sure you understand the playing rules.
The objective of blackjack is to beat the dealer's
hand by either 1) having a total that exceeds the dealer's total or 2)
by not going over 21 when the dealer does.
Exceeding a total of 21 is known as 'busting". The casino's edge comes
from the fact that players must go first and when they bust their hand
they automatically lose even if the dealer subsequently busts.
All cards count their face value in blackjack. Picture cards count as 10 and the ace can count as either a 1 or 11. Card suits have no meaning in blackjack. The total of any hand is the sum of the card values in the hand. A hand containing a 4, 5 and 8 totals 17. Another containing a queen and 5 totals 15. It is always assumed that the ace counts 11 unless your total exceeds 21 in which case the ace reverts to a value of 1. For example, Ace, 5 is a 16. If a player draws a 9 the total is now 15. Generally hands which contain an ace that counts as 11 are known as soft hands (i.e. ace, 7 is a soft 18 hand). A hard hand is any hand that either does not contain an ace of if it does it counts as 1 (i.e. 10, 8 and 5, ace, 10, 2 are hard 18 hands).
