Blackjack Game Casino Tips and Tricks

The blackjack game is usually played with 1-8 decks of cards with their particular values:

• Aces - 1 or 11 points (according to the gambler's choice)
• Face Cards (King, Queen, Jack) - 10 points
• s-10s - are counted according to their values.

The game is played by the player against the dealer. The main objective of the game is to get 21 points or close to it without exceeding this amount, otherwise the gambler busts and the dealer wins.

At the beginning of the game all the players place their wagers. The dealer gives two cards to each player and the time comes to make the decision:

• To Hit. It means that the player isn't satisfied with his/her result and wants to take one more additional card.
• To Stand. This betting decision means the gambler considers his/her score to be enough for winning.
• To Double Down. The gambler doubles his/her initial bet and takes only one additional card (option is usually used when the player has good hand).
• To Split. The option of dividing the pair of cards into two separate hands. The casino tips and tricks always recommend split Aces and 8s.
• Surrender. The option isn't available in all casinos. It is the possibility to give up the hand. In this case the gambler loses half of the initial bet.
• Insurance. The option gives player the opportunity to place the wager of the same value as your initial one in a case dealer has the blackjack combination (pays 2:1).

Usually there is one dealer to three gamblers, who not only deals the cards, but controls the game to avoid card counting and casino cheaters.
