What are the basic rules of Blackjack?

Blackjack is one of the most popular casino games and is loved by many online casino gaming enthusiasts. While the popularity of Blackjack is credited to the era of World War 1, its roots can be traced way back to 1760 in France. The modern-day popularity of Blackjack can be estimated from the fact that it is found in almost every online and offline casino.

A standard pack of cards consists of 52 cards. But for Blackjack, most casinos shuffled multiple decks of cards. The six-deck game is surely one of the most popular ones. In casinos, the house acts as the dealer. The purpose of the game of to beat the dealer. A player can beat the dealer by getting a count as close to 21 as possible, without going bust. Busting is the term used when the total value of the hand goes above 21. The player also wins if the dealer busts and the player doesn’t.

The next thing to learn is the card value. Deuces through nines are all counted at face value. 10s, all face cards including Jacks, Kings, and Queens have a value of 10. Aces can be either 1 or 11. The most powerful hand is an ace and any other card with a value of 10. This is called a Blackjack. If a player is dealt a Blackjack, they automatically win. If the dealer gets a Blackjack too, then the hand is considered a push.

Each hand of Blackjack begins with everyone getting 2 cards. All cards are dealt face-up, except for the dealer’s last card. The players have to act first and have 4 of the following options- hitting, standing, doubling down, or splitting a pair. Hitting means you want another card. Players can take as many cards as they want until either they stand or go bust.

If you are happy with your cards, it is counted as a stand. If you believe you have a powerful hand, you can double down your bet. If your first 2 cards are a pair, you have an option of splitting them and playing 2 separate hands. When all the players take a stand, the dealer flips their face down card, and whoever has the highest hand without going bust wins. And undoubtedly, a blackjack trumps everything else. 

All this knowledge about Blackjack should have gotten you pumped for sure. If that is the case, do not let anything hold you back. There are a lot of popular betting websites that offer online casinos and you can play Blackjack there. Betting Best Odds is a renowned website that offers you bonuses that can be cashed on multiple betting websites such as 888 Bet, Bet365, Betway, William Hill, and many more.
