Blackjack, or 21, is one the most popular casino games.

The object of the game is to beat the dealer by obtaining a total higher than the dealer, without exceeding 21. You begin by placing a wager in the betting square. Each player receives two cards, and the dealer receives one card. Cards are dealt face-up. Please remember, only the dealer may touch the cards.

Card Values

• Face Cards (Kings, Queens, Jacks) have a value of 10
• Numbered cards are worth their face value except Ace, which can count as 1 or 11.

Player Options

• Stand - stay with the cards dealt; a horizontal hand motion means stand
• Hit - receive additional card(s); a gentle tap or scratch on the table indicates hit
• Doubledown - double your original bet and receive one additional card only. Doubledown on Blackjack is not permitted.
• Split - Two cards of equal value may be split into two separate hands. In order to split, you just lay down an additional bet, equal to your original bet. If you receive two Aces, and choose to split, you get only one additional card to play with each Ace.
• Surrender - allowed on the original two- card hand except a dealer "Blackjack."
• Insurance - pays 2 to 1.

After all the players have played, the dealer's hand is completed;

• If the dealer's hand totals 17 or more the dealer must stand.
• if the dealer's hand is less than 17, the dealer must hit (take additional card)
• If the dealer's hand totals 17 or more, but contains an Ace (which can count as 11), the dealer must hit (called "soft 17").
