Blackjack is a classic casino game that combines luck and skill. Here’s how to get started:
- Understand the Objective: Aim for a hand value of 21 without exceeding it, beating the dealer’s hand.
- Learn Card Values: Number cards are worth their face value, face cards (J, Q, K) are 10, and Aces can be 1 or 11.
- Place Your Bet: Begin by placing your chips in the betting circle.
- Receive Your Cards: You’ll get two cards; the dealer gets two as well, one face up.
- Decide Your Move: Choose to “hit” (take another card) or “stand” (keep your hand). You can also “double down” or “split” in certain situations.
- Dealer’s Turn: The dealer reveals their hidden card and hits until they reach 17 or higher.
- Winning: You win if your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer’s without going over.
Practice makes perfect, so start with small bets and gradually build your confidence!
