How Do You Play 21 Blackjack Cards?

In the game of 21 blackjack, each player is dealt two cards face down. The dealer then deals one card face up to each player, and one card face up to themselves.

The face up card dealt to the player is their “hole” card, and the face up card dealt to the dealer is the “house” card. Players then have the option to hit (take another card), stand (keep their hand), double down (double their bet and take another card), split (if they have two of the same rank, they can split their hand into two separate hands), or surrender (give up half their bet and end their turn).

If the player’s hand totals more than 21, they bust and lose their bet. If the dealer busts, all players who have not already bust win their bet.

If neither the player nor dealer busts, the hand with the highest total wins.

Players can increase their chances of winning by following a few simple tips:

– Always hit on a hand of 11 or less.
– Stand on a hand of 17 or more.

– Double down on a hand of 10 or 11 if the dealer is showing a 9 or less.
– Split aces and 8s.
