What Are the Rules to 21 Blackjack?

In the game of 21 blackjack, also known as 21, the goal is to have a hand with a value as close to 21 as possible without going over. The game is played with one or more standard 52-card decks.

The value of the cards is as follows: Ace: 1 or 11; 2 through 10: face value; Jack, Queen, King (J,Q,K): 10. The suits of the cards (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades) have no bearing on the game.

The basic rules of 21 blackjack are simple. The player and dealer are each dealt two cards. The player can then choose to either hit (take another card) or stand (keep their current hand).

If the player’s hand goes over 21 (busts), they automatically lose. If the dealer’s hand goes over 21 (busts), the player automatically wins.

If neither the player nor dealer has busted, the hand with the higher value wins. If both hands have the same value, it is a push (tie) and no one wins or loses.

There are a few other rules that are important to know in order to play 21 blackjack effectively. These include:
* Doubling down: This is when a player doubles their bet after being dealt their first two cards. They are then only dealt one more card. This option is only available on the player’s first two cards and if the value of the hand is 9, 10 or 11.
* Splitting: This is when a player splits their hand into two separate hands after being dealt their first two cards if they are a pair (two of the same card).

For example, if a player is dealt two 8s (16), they can split them into two separate hands worth 8 each. They then take additional hits on each hand separately until they either bust or stand.
* Surrender: This is when a player gives up half of their bet and ends their turn immediately after being dealt their first two cards if they do not like their chances of winning. This option is not available in all casinos or online games.
