How to Play Blackjack:
Moves, Strategies, and Rules
When you walk into a casino, it's impossible not to stop at a blackjack table to try one of the most famous and beloved games of all time.
If you want to find out how to play Blackjack the right way, here are the rules you need to know.
How do you play BlackJack?
Blackjack is undoubtedly one of the best-known and most popular card games among players, where skill and intuition are put to the test with every hand played.
The player plays against the dealer, and the goal is to get as close as possible to a total card value of 21 without ever exceeding it; otherwise, the player automatically loses.
To determine the total score, cards 2 through 9 are worth their face value. The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are each worth 10. The Ace can be worth either 1 or 11 points, at the player’s discretion.
Six decks of 52 cards each are used.
Once bets are placed, the dealer deals one face-up card to each spot, from left to right, and deals to himself last.
Then, the dealer deals a second card—also face-up—to each player, who may then ask for additional cards.
The dealer draws a second card for himself only after every player has finished drawing. The dealer must hit on a total of 16 and stand on a total of 17 or higher.
The player wins if his total is higher than the dealer’s. If the totals are equal, it’s a tie, and the player neither wins nor loses.
Winning bets are paid even money, except for Blackjack, which is achieved with the first two cards consisting of an ace and a ten or a face card, which pays 2 to 1.

What steps can be taken?
But how does the game of blackjack work? What actions can you take at the table?
At the start of the game, the dealer shuffles the cards and has a player cut the six decks; after that, the dealer deals the first two cards to each player at the table, plus one card for the dealer. At this point, during their turn, each player can ask for one or more cards to improve their total score or “stand” if they believe their current hand is already strong enough.

Essentially, the actions available to players are:
- Split: If the first two cards dealt have the same value (including 10s and face cards), the player may split by placing a bet equal to the initial bet, creating two separate hands. If a third card of the same value as the initial pair is dealt, the player may split again (for the last time). The exception is a pair of aces, for which only one split is allowed, and only one additional card is dealt.
- Double Down: The player may double their initial bet with the first two cards received and will receive only one additional card.
- Insurance: When the dealer's upcard is an Ace, players may take Insurance against the dealer having a Blackjack. The Insurance bet can be up to half of the original wager and pays 2 to 1 if the dealer does indeed have Blackjack.
