The basic premise of the card game is to be handed cards adding up to twenty one. Each black jack player is given 2 cards. When a gambler is handed a nine or less and an Ace they have been handed a soft hand. When the blackjack player receives no Ace cards it is known as a hard hand. As soon as the cards have been handed to every player at the table, which includes the dealer, every black jack player is provided the opportunity to make 1 of 6 choices:

Taking another card (Hit): When a player announces "hit" the dealer will deal him another card, if the addition of that card causes the total greater than 21 the blackjack player will have lost and be excluded from the game, if the card pushes the total to 21 the blackjack player will be the winner and if the value of the hand has not yet reached twenty one they’re still in the game.

Keeping the hand you have been dealt: If a player is satisfied with the cards they will stay. As soon as this has happened the dealer will display his/her hand and the black jack player who has accumulated 21 or the nearest to 21 will win.

Doubling Down: A black jack player might request to double down which increases the wager by one hundred percent they have placed. As soon as you’ve taken this procedure you can only be given one additional card. The specifics of doubling down are usually out lined by the table or betting house game rules so before gambling make certain you’re comfortable with the house game rules. If you’re competing at an online casino this is normally very easy.

Watch for part two.
