BLACKJACK TIPS -
Hit me one more time

BlackJack has long been one of the most popular and recognizable games offered at casinos around the world and in cyberspace. Surprisingly it is often the most confusing and avoided game by visitors who aren't familiar with its rules and intricacies.

The object of Blackjack is to obtain a total of 21 points per hand or as close to 21 without exceeding 21. To win you must beat the dealers hand. The Dealer has to stand on any total of 17 or more and hits on anything less giving the player a considerable advantage.

Here are some basic rules to abide by when playing BlackJack and the best advice I can give you is to learn them and just do them! Statistically they should produce a winning outcome.

     • If your first two cards are equal to eleven or less you always draw another card.
     • No matter what card the Dealer is showing you must always assume that the dealer has a ten         hidden.
     • If your cards total 12 to 16, "the danger zone', whether you draw or stand depends on what the         dealer is showing.
     • If the dealer has a card showing between 7 to an Ace you should draw until you are over 16.
     • If the dealer has a card showing between 2 to 6 you should not draw another card. Note: There         is one exception to the rule above. If you have 12 and the dealer is showing a 2 or 3 you         should draw one more card only.
     • If you have cards valued between 17 to 20 you should never draw another card. The only time         you should draw another card under the above circimstances is when you have a soft 17 or         18. Note: A soft 17 or 18 occurs when your hand contains an Ace (which is valued at 1 or 11)         and a 6 or 7.
     • When the player has a soft 17 or 18 it is a good idea to draw if the dealer is showing any card         from a 9 to an Ace.

Insurance is often not recommended, since you are betting that the dealer will receive a BlackJack (21). You are playing to beat the dealer not bet that he will beat you.
