How Do You Play Blackjack With Cards at Home?

In order to play blackjack with cards at home, you will need a few supplies. First, you will need a deck of cards.

You can either purchase a deck of cards specifically for blackjack, or you can use a regular deck of playing cards. If you decide to use a regular deck of playing cards, you will need to remove the jokers from the deck.

Next, you will need something to keep track of the bets. This can be done with pencil and paper, or you can use chips.

If you are using chips, you will need to determine the value of each chip before beginning to play. Once you have all of your supplies, you are ready to begin playing blackjack.

The basic rules of blackjack state that the goal of the game is to get as close to 21 without going over. All of the face cards (jack, queen, king) are worth 10 points and the ace is worth either 1 point or 11 points (depending on what is best for your hand).

All other cards are worth their face value (2-10).

Players take turns being the dealer. The player who is dealing deals out two cards face up to each player, including themselves.

The dealer then looks at their own hand to see if they have blackjack (a hand consisting of an ace and a 10-value card). If the dealer does not have blackjack, play begins with the player to the dealers left.

On their turn, each player has a few different options available to them. They can choose to “hit” which means they take another card from the dealer in hopes of getting closer to 21 without going over. They can also choose to “stand” which means they stick with the hand they have and it is now the dealers turn again. Players can also “double down” which means they double their bet and receive one more card.

And finally, if their first two cards are a pair (two 2s, two 3s, etc.), they can “split” their hand into two separate hands and play them both independently.

If at any time during the game a player goes over 21 (busts), they automatically lose and their bet is taken by the house. Play then proceeds to the next player clockwise around the table until all players have either busted or chosen to stand.

Once all players have had their turn, it is now time for the dealer to play their hand.

The dealers hand works a little differently than the other players hands. First off, if the dealer has blackjack, all players lose except for those who also have blackjack (in which case it is a push and nobody wins or loses).

If the dealer does not have blackjack, they will hit until their hand totals 17 or more points (at which point they will stand). If at any time during their turn the dealers hand totals more than 21 points, they bust and all remaining players win!.

Once all players have had their turn and either busted or chosen to stand, it is now time for any remaining players to compare their hands with the dealers hand. If your hand totals more points than the dealers hand (without going over 21), you win! If your hand ties with the dealers hand, it is a push and nobody wins or loses money on that particular hand.

And finally, if your hand totals less than the dealers hand (or if you bust), you lose your bet and money goes to the house/dealer.
