OBJECTIVE OF THE BLACKJACK GAME RULES
The game of blackjack is played with one or more decks of cards. In online casinos there are blackjack rules with 1 to 8 decks of 52 cards. Each card has a certain point value and the main target in blackjack is to collects card combination, which sum value will be closer to 21 than the dealer’s cards, without going over 21 (“busting”). The suits of the cards do not have special meaning.
If the value of your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer ones, you win. If the value of the dealer’s hand is higher than yours you lose. If the hands are of equal value the deal is a push and your money is returned. If you have a total of 22 or higher (a busted hand), you lose regardless of whether the dealer also busts.
Blackjack rule 21 – If your first two cards have a total value of 21, you have been dealt a blackjack. A blackjack, therefore, is an ace and any ten-valued card and you will win as long as the dealer does not have a blackjack too. Keep in mind that “BlackJack” beats a score of 21 consisting of 3 or more cards.
Sidebar
– Almost everywhere, and here too, the objective of blackjack are described this way: “the objective of blackjack is to accumulate cards that add up closer to 21 than that of the dealer, without going over 21.(“busting”)” But this description is not enough correct. –
The real objective rule of blackjack is to beat the casino dealer’s cards by any way:
- having a total card value that exceeds the dealer’s total score (this sum could be not closer or equal to 21)
- not going over 21 when the dealer busts. This does not required to collect cards as much close to 21. You can win even when your total only 12 or 13.
Card Values.
A face card (Jack, Queen, King) counts 10 points
An ace can count as 1 or 11 depending on the player’s preference
Cards from 2 to 10 count as their face value
