Blackjack is one of the most strategic casino card games available. This guide explains the rules, basic strategy, and how to maximise your chances at the blackjack table.
How Blackjack Works
In blackjack, you play against the dealer — not other players. The goal is to get a hand total closer to 21 than the dealer without going over (busting). Number cards are face value, face cards count as 10, and Aces count as 1 or 11.
Basic Blackjack Strategy
Basic strategy is a mathematically proven set of decisions that minimises the house edge. Key rules: always stand on 17+, always hit on 11 or less, double down on 11 when the dealer shows 6 or lower, and split Aces and 8s.
Common Blackjack Terms
Key terms include: hit (take another card), stand (keep your hand), double down (double your bet for one more card), split (separate paired cards into two hands), and surrender (forfeit half your bet to end the hand).
