Blacjack online- by Casino-Planet guide to online blacjack

BLACKJACK is one of the most popular casino games.
Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. Tables and online casinos will have a minimum bet required to play the game. Once all bets are placed, each player and the dealer will receive two cards.
Each card in Blackjack has a certain value. Card between 2 and 10 simply have their face value regardless of suit. Jacks, Queens and Kings always have a value of 10. An Ace can count as 1 or 11 depending on what is most beneficial to your hand.

Player's add the value of their cards and either decide to "Stick" or "Stand" with their current cards or receive another card, called a "Hit" or "Draw," hopefully raising their total closer to 21 without going over.

Once all players have decided to "Stand," the dealer reveals the face down card known as the "Hole" card. If the dealer's hand is between 17 and 21, he or she may not draw any additional card. If the dealer's hand is 16 or below, cards must be drawn until the dealer's hand has a value of 17 or higher.

Blackjack can be won in a few different ways. If your first two cards total 21, you have Blackjack and win 3:2 odds (A $5.00 wager pays 7.5 additional dollars) on your bet automatically unless the dealer draws Blackjack as well causing a tie or a "Push." In the case of a tie, no money is won or lost. You win if your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand. This type of win pays "Even Money" meaning that you win the same amount of money that you wagered. A $10.00 wager wins 10 additional dollars. Finally, if the dealer "Busts" or has a hand that exceeds 21 and your hand is less than 21, you win!

The object of the game is to draw cards totaling closer to 21 than the Dealer draws without going over 21. The cards are dealt clockwise from a dealing "shoe." Each Player is dealt two cards, face up; the Dealer takes two cards, one face up (up card) and one face down (hole card). Cards 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 count at face value. Picture cards (Jack, Queen, King) count as ten. Aces count as one or eleven, whichever is to the Player's advantage, e.g., Ace + 8 = 9, or Ace + 8 = 19.
