Learning How To Play Blackjack

By John Fair


It is very easy to learn how to play blackjack. The objective of the game is to beat the dealers hand but at the same time keep your hand from busting. Busting is a term used in the game that means your hand has went over twenty one. Having a hand that totals exactly twenty one is known as having blackjack. Playing this game online is the easiest because you do not have distractions in the background as you would at the casino.

At the start of the game you will place a bet. After this you will press the deal button. You will be dealt two cards, both will be face up. The dealer will also have to cards but one will be face up and the other will be face down. If on the first hand your cards total twenty one you will automatically win the round unless the dealers cards also equal the same. If this happens you will get your bid back. Once both hands have been revealed the round is over. You then can continue to a new round by placing a new bet.

However, that is not the main things that you need to know about to be able to master the game. You also need to know what the other buttons are used for. The stand button is used to let the dealer know that you do not want anymore cards. This should be clicked when you feel that your hand can beat the dealers.

The hit button is the opposite of the stand button. This button lets the dealer know to give you more cards. You can decide to press the button as many times ad you like. Just be careful not to bust. That will result in you loosing the hand automatically.

Then there is the split button. This button is available when your two starting cards are the same. It allows you to split the cards so that you will be playing two hands. So it gives you a better chance at winning over the dealers hand.

The double down button allows you to double your bet. However, once this button is initiated you will only be dealt one more card. So it is suggested to only double down when you have an ace in your hand.

The last button that you should be familiar with is the insurance button. This button becomes available when the dealers visible card is an ace. This gives you a chance to go ahead and hit the insurance button so your bet will not be lost since it is possible that the dealer could have twenty one. As long as you remember these buttons you know how to play blackjack.
