How Does Blackjack Payouts Work?

Blackjack is one of the most popular casino games. The object of the game is to get a hand with a value as close to 21 as possible without going over.

The value of the ace can be either 1 or 11, and all face cards are worth 10. The other cards are worth their face value.

When you are dealt a blackjack, you are paid 3-2 on your bet. If the dealer also has a blackjack, it is a push, and your bet is returned to you.

If you do not have a blackjack, you can choose to hit, stand, double down, or split.

If you hit, the dealer will give you another card. You can hit as many times as you like until you either bust or stand.

PRO TIP:Blackjack payouts typically offer a 1:1 payout if you win with a blackjack (21 points on the initial two cards) and a 3:2 payout if you win with any other combination. In some cases, dealers may offer an even-money payout for blackjacks, which is why it pays to check the specific rules of the game before playing.

If you bust, you lose your bet and the hand is over.

If you stand, the dealer will then play his hand. If he busts, you win; if not, he wins.

If you double down, you double your bet and receive one more card. You then stand for the rest of the hand.

If you split, you must make two separate hands from your original two cards. You then play each hand individually.

The dealer always hits on 16 or less and stands on 17 or more. Blackjack pays 3-2; insurance pays 2-1.
