The Rules of Blackjack

⚡

How Cards Are Valued

Each card from 2 to 10 is worth its number. J, Q and K are worth 10. An Ace is worth either 1 or 11.

🛡️

How Cards Are Dealt

Both you and the dealer receive two cards, and one of the dealer's cards is shown.

🎯

Choosing Hit or Stand

Choose hit to receive another card or stand to keep your current total.

💸

Bust

If your total goes above 21, you lose the hand regardless of the dealer's result.

💬

Blackjack

When your first two cards are an Ace and a card worth 10, you have 'blackjack', which normally pays 3:2.

🎁

Double & Split

You can double your bet and take exactly one more card, or split a pair so that it becomes two hands.

The rules shown are standard. Actual rules and payouts can vary by table and provider, so please check the information panel for each game.

  7. 07

    Double When You Have 11

The History of Blackjack in Brief

Blackjack developed from older European card games, including 'vingt-et-un' (twenty-one), and became a standard casino game in many countries. Today it is played on phones as well as in casinos.

Why the House Edge in Blackjack Is Low

Because players make choices, following basic strategy closely keeps the house edge lower than in many other casino games. The actual figure depends on each table's rules.

Choosing Live or Digital

Live blackjack has real dealers and a social atmosphere. Digital blackjack is quicker and useful for practice. Each follows the rules displayed at the table.

Mistakes Beginners Make

Players most often go wrong by taking insurance, standing on soft 17 when they should hit, splitting 10s, or raising bets after a loss.

Money In and Money Out

You can deposit using accepted payment methods (e.g. local e-wallets, online banking). Withdrawals are normally completed within typical withdrawal processing time.
