Black JackIn blackjack, the player and the dealer (the computer) are each dealt two cards. The player and the dealer both try to get the hand they are dealt to equal twenty-one without going over. The hand that gets closer to twenty-one without going over wins the bet. In blackjack, you are competing only against the dealer, not against the other players.
"BJ"How to Play Blackjack
The face cards in the deck have a value worth ten. Aces can be worth either one or eleven points. When the ace as eleven would put the hand over twenty-one, the ace then automatically counted as one instead. All other cards are worth their face value. The suit of the cards does not effect the play in any way.
The easiest way to get "Black Jack" or "21" is to hold an ace and either a face card or a ten. Dealer must draw on all totals of 16 or less, and stand on all totals of 17-21Black Jack "21"How to Place Bets There are three "Betting Circles" in which you can place your bets.

Black Jack Card Game
How to Play
Press the 'deal' button once you are ready to play. Cards will automatically appear on the screen. The cards on the top portion of the screen are the dealer's. The cards on the lower portion of the screen closest to the betting circle(s) belong to the player(s).
Now that you have cards, you have the choice of either 'hitting' or 'standing'.
The 'hit' button is used to draw another card.
The 'stand' button is if you do not require another card.When it applies, you will also have the opportunity to take out insurance against the dealer's ace, split cards of the same rank, and to "double" down on your original bet.
The insurance screen will pop-up whenever the dealer has an ace. The insurance screen will allow you to take insurance on all player hands. The cost of insurance is half your original bet. Insurance pays 2-1 and pays out only when the dealer gets blackjack.
The 'double' button is used to double your original bet. You will be dealt only one additional card for your hand once you take this option. The dealer will then draw the necessary cards to complete the dealer's hand. You can only double when the value of the first 2 cards is 9, 10 or 11.
The 'split' option can be chosen when your first 2 cards are of the same rank. Your original single hand will be split into two, each with a stake equal to your original bet. You will be dealt a second card for your first hand. You will then be able to hit, stand and take insurance (where applicable) for your first hand.
Once you have chosen to stand, a second card will be dealt to your second hand and you will then be given the relevant choices for that hand. Once you have chosen to stand (or you bust) on your second hand, the dealer will then draw the necessary cards to complete the game.Once the dealer's hand is complete (or bust), payouts or deductions will be made to your balance according to the game's outcome.
