How Many Cards Do You Get in Blackjack UK?

In Blackjack, each player is dealt two cards face down, and then the dealer is dealt one card face up and one card face down. The dealer then deals each player another card face up.

The aim of the game is to get as close to 21 as possible without going over, and to beat the dealer’s hand.

If the player goes over 21, they ‘bust’ and lose the game. If the dealer busts, all players who haven’t busted win.

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

Players can choose to ‘stand’ on their current hand, or ‘hit’ and take another card from the deck. They can also ‘double down’, which means they double their bet and take one more card.

If they get a low first hand such as 5-6-7-8-9, they can also ‘split’ their hand into two separate hands and play them both separately.

So how many cards do you get in Blackjack? In a standard game of Blackjack UK, you will receive two cards at the start of the game. After that, it is up to you whether you hit or stand.

If you choose to hit, you will receive one more card from the deck. You can hit as many times as you like until you either go over 21 or decide to stand.
