The general concept of the game is to be dealt cards adding up to twenty-one. Every gambler is dealt 2 cards. When a blackjack player is handed a nine or less and an Ace they have been dealt a soft hand. When the player is dealt no Ace it is known as a hard hand. As soon as the cards have been dealt all players at the blackjack table, which includes the dealer, every blackjack player is given the opportunity to make one of 6 decisions:

Taking another card (Hit): When a black jack player announces "hit" the dealer will give them another card, if the adding of that card makes the total greater than twenty one the blackjack player will have busted and that’s the end of the game, if the card makes the total to twenty one the player will be the winner and if the value of the hand hasn’t yet achieved 21 they are still in the game.

Keeping the hand you have been dealt: If a black jack player is happy with the hand they will hold. As soon as this has happened the croupier will display his/her hand and the blackjack player who has accumulated 21 or the closet to twenty one will come away with a win.

Doubling Down: A blackjack player might request to double down which doubles the bet they have placed. Once you’ve taken this procedure you can only be given 1 additional card. The specifics of doubling down are usually out lined by the blackjack table or casino game rules so before playing be certain you are at ease with the house rules. If you’re wagering at an on-line casino this is usually quite simple.
