The main premise of the game is to be handed cards totaling up to 21. Every player is assigned 2 cards. When a black jack player is given a 9 or lower value card and an Ace they have been handed a soft hand. When the gambler receives no Ace it is called as a hard hand. As soon as the cards have been given to every player at the table, including the dealer, every gambler is provided the opportunity to make one of six actions:

Requesting another card (Hit): When a player announces hit me the dealer will give him another card, if the adding of that card makes the value of the hand to exceed twenty one the blackjack player will have busted and be excluded from the game, if the card pushes the total to twenty one the player is the winner and if the total hasn’t yet achieved twenty-one they are still in the game.

Keeping the hand you have been dealt: If a black jack player is happy with the cards they will stay. As soon as this has happened the dealer will disclose his or her hand and the player who has gotten twenty one or the closet to twenty-one will come away with a win.

Doubling Down: A player may ask to double down which increases the bet by one hundred percent they have laid. Once you’ve taken this action you can only be given one more card. The specifics of doubling down are usually out lined by the blackjack table or casino game rules so before gambling be sure you’re at ease with the house rules. If you’re playing at a web-based betting house this is usually very easy.
