$ Blackjack

There are many basic strategies for $ blackjack, depending with the cash's rules and the number of decks used. The basic strategy outlined here is based with the four-deck game as played within Las Vegas. The object of $ blackjack  is to beat the dealer on a total equal to or less than 21, without going over 21 or bust.

Before any $ blackjack cards are dealt the player must wager. He does this by placing his bet within the designated space within front of his table position. The $ Blackjack dealer then deals two cards to each of the players, and two to himself (one of the $ blackjack dealer's cards is dealt face up and one is dealt facing down). Face cards (kings, queens and jacks) count as 10, ace counts as one or 11 (as the player chooses) and all other $ blackjack cards are counted at their face value.

If the $ blackjack player's first two cards are an ace and a 10 or face card, he wins.  However, if the dealer also has a blackjack, it is a standoff, as are all ties or pushes. A winning blackjack pays the player 3 to 2.

HIT or STAND---Hit means to draw another card (which the blackjack player signifies by scraping the table on his cards or a similar hand motion). Stand means no more cards (which the player signals by placing his cards under his wager or moving his hand within a horizontal direction. If the $ blackjack player hits and busts (goes over 21), he immediately turns his cards over and his wager is lost.

DOUBLE DOWN---The $ blackjack player player is allowed to double the bet with his first two cards and draw one additional card only to improve his hand.
