Blackjack Rules
TO PLAY
The player will place his/her wager in the center of the betting circle.
The dealer will then deal two cards, face up, to
each player and two to him/herself, one face up and one face down.
Kings, Queens, Jacks, and 10's each count as 10.
Aces count as 1 or 11, as a player wishes. All other cards 2-9, count
at their face value.
If the first two cards drawn are an Ace and a 10 value card, that player
has Blackjack and will be paid one and one-half
times the wager (3 to 2) unless the dealer also has Blackjack. The
Player not having Blackjack may continue to draw
cards attempting to total as close to 21 as possible without exceeding
21, in which case that player "breaks" and loses
the wager.
Dealer must hit on all totals of 16 or less. Dealer must stand on all total of 17 or more.
BLACKJACK TERMINOLOGY
HIT
The taking of an additional card.
STAY
Take no additional cards
SPLIT
The Player will match the original wager and split the first two cards
into two separate hands. The two cards must be of
the same point value (i.e. a pair of 8's, King and Queen, etc.) In
splitted hands an Ace and ten equal to "21" and not
blackjack.
DOUBLE DOWN
The player will match the original (or double down for less) on the
first two cards dealt and receive only one additional
card. Double down wagering is not permitted on a Blackjack.
INSURANCE
When the dealer's up card is an Ace, a Player may buy insurance, an
additional amount equal to half of that Player's
original wager. A Player may purchase insurance when he/she believes
that the dealer's down card is a ten value card. If
the Dealer has Blackjack, the insurance wager pays 2 to 1. If the dealer
does not have Blackjack, the insurance wager
loses and the game continues as usual. A Blackjack will beat a point
total of "21".
