What Is Jack Queen King Ace in Blackjack?

In blackjack, a player’s hand can total either 21, or less. If a player’s hand totals 21, this is called a “blackjack” and the player is automatically declared the winner.

If a player’s hand totals less than 21, the player can either “stand” and keep their current hand, or “hit” and receive another card from the dealer. The goal of blackjack is to get as close to 21 as possible without going over (bust).

There are 52 cards in a deck, and each card has a value assigned to it. The Ace is worth 1 or 11 points (player’s choice), the 2-10 cards are worth their face value, and the Jack, Queen and King (J,Q,K) are each worth 10 points.

PRO TIP:In Blackjack, Jack Queen King Ace are all valued at 10 points. However, an Ace can be used as either a 1 or 11, depending on the player’s hand.

A blackjack hand consists of two cards, one of which is an Ace. For example, an Ace and a 10 would be a blackjack.

A blackjack beats any other hand that totals 21 or less. So, for example, if you were dealt an Ace and a 9, and the dealer was dealt a 10 and an 8, you would win because your blackjack would beat the dealer’s 17.

If both you and the dealer have blackjacks, it’s a push (a tie), and nobody wins or loses.
