Twenty-One Basics - Part 1

The main concept of the game is to be given cards totaling up to twenty-one. Each gambler is assigned two cards. When a black jack player is dealt a nine or less and an Ace they have been given a soft hand. When the player receives no Ace it is referred to as a hard hand. Once the cards have been handed to all players at the table, which includes the dealer, each black jack player is given the chance to make 1 of 6 choices:

Taking another card (Hit): When a blackjack player announces "hit" the croupier will deal him another card, if the adding of that card makes the value of the hand to exceed twenty one the black jack player will have lost and that is the end of the game, if the card makes the value of the hand to 21 the gambler wins and if the value of the hand has not yet reached twenty one they are still in the game.

Keeping the hand you have been given: If a blackjack player is satisfied with the cards they will stand. Once this has happened the croupier will show their hand and the player who has gotten twenty one or the closet to 21 will acquire a win.

Doubling Down: A blackjack player may ask to double down which increases the bet by 100% they have laid. As soon as you've taken this procedure you can only receive one more card. The details of doubling down are usually specified by the table or betting house rules so prior to gambling be sure you are familiar with the house game rules. If you're competing at an internet betting house this is normally very easy.

Watch for part two.
