Blackjack is a rules-based casino card game. It's a fantastic game to play casually, and it's even more rewarding for strategy-based players. Luckily, anyone can learn blackjack rules and play like a pro.

• The dealer is dealt two cards, but only one of them is face up.
• Every player at the table is dealt two cards. Players decide whether to hit (take an additional card), stand (stand pat), double (double your bet and take one final card), split (split pairs and play them as separate hands), or take insurance if the dealer's upcard is an Ace and you suspect blackjack.
• In blackjack, cards 2 through 10 assume their face value. 10s, Jack, Queens, and Kings are valued at 10. Aces can assume a value of 1 or 11 depending on the value of the other cards in your hand.
• The objective of blackjack is simply to beat the dealer's hand total. A caveat is in order – don't go over 21. If you do, you bust and automatically lose the hand.

Once you understand blackjack rules, you can advance beyond single hand blackjack and play multi-hand blackjack games.

Every online casino game has specific jargon. These words, terms, and phrases are well-known to players and dealers. As our valued player, we welcome you to check out our compilation of blackjack terms.

So next time you're wondering whether your pocket rockets are better off in a soft hand or a hard hand, remember to use our Blackjack Glossary.

• Blackjack – originally, the Jack of spades was the blackjack. Today, blackjack is any two-card hand featuring a 10-value card and an Ace. The value of blackjack is 21. It's the best possible two-card winning hand.
• Bust – that's what happens when either you or the dealer exceeds 21. When you bust, you automatically forfeit any bets you have in the game and lose that round of play.
• Bankroll – your bankroll is your budget. Use it judiciously throughout your playing sessions.
• House Edge – this represents the house's advantage over the player. It is minimal when players use basic blackjack strategy and advantage play in blackjack.
• Soft Hand – a soft hand includes an Ace valued at 11. It's soft because the Ace cushions the risk of extra cards.
• Hard Hand - A hard hand does not include an Ace. The value of your hand is fixed.
• Insurance – if the dealer's upcard is an Ace, the pocket card may be a 10-value card. Players have the option of placing an insurance bet to protect against blackjack.
• Hi-Lo Card Counting - card counting assigns values of 1, 0, and -1 to different sets of cards. When the count reaches a certain value, players tend to bet more or bet less, depending on the state of the game.
• Push – A push is a draw between the player and the dealer with hand values of 17+. Your bet will be returned to you, and a new round of play can begin.

What is basic blackjack strategy?

Once you are ready to play blackjack, it's important to understand basic blackjack strategy. This includes a set of rules for your specific variant of blackjack. Basic strategy tells you when to hit, stand, double, split, surrender (if available), or take insurance. Basic blackjack strategy charts are used to determine the optimal play.

What's the difference between bricks and mortar blackjack and online blackjack?

One blackjack game is played in person, and the other is played online. You can experience a much more comfortable, cost-effective, and convenient blackjack session online. Online there are no travel and accommodation expenses, and you don't have to worry about stage fright in front of the players and dealers.

Is blackjack a game of skill or luck?

Blackjack is a gambling game that combines elements of skill and luck. Since players can calculate odds and probabilities in blackjack, there is a definite skill-based element. However, luck plays a big part in the outcomes of blackjack games. It is said that the more skilled you are, the luckier you can get.

Should I always split pairs in blackjack?

Pair splitting is an option available to you when you are dealt a matching pair of cards. However, you shouldn't always split cards because your chances of winning on both hands may diminish. Read our blackjack rules to determine when to split pairs.

Do I need to count cards in blackjack?

Many players automatically associate blackjack with card counting. Truth be told, you don't need to count cards to win blackjack games. Apply basic strategy, advantage play and careful bankroll management, and you'll be fine.

Should I take insurance when it is offered to me?

Believe it or not, insurance is known as a sucker bet. But, unfortunately, mathematically, it's the wrong decision most of the time.
