How to play blackjack

  1. Bet, then two cards each. Put your chips in your circle and press Deal. You get two cards face up; the dealer gets one face up and one face down.
  2. Get closer to 21 than the dealer. Number cards count their number, tens and faces count 10, and an ace counts 1 or 11, whichever helps. Go over 21 and you bust, which loses straight away.
  3. Hit, stand, double or split. Hit for another card, or stand on what you have. Double puts in the same again for exactly one more card. Split turns a pair into two hands.
  4. The dealer plays by fixed rules. The dealer turns over their card and must draw to 16 and stand on 17, except a soft 17 (one with an ace counted as 11), which they hit. Beat their total and you win even money; an ace and a ten-card as your first two cards is a blackjack, which pays 3 to 2.

Rules at this table: six decks, dealer hits soft 17, blackjack pays 3 to 2, double on any two cards and after a split, split up to four hands, insurance pays 2 to 1. You start with 5,000 free chips; bets run from 25 to 2,500.
