Blackjack is one of the most popular card games at casinos. It may be even more popular than poker. Its rules are pretty simple and requires only a few minutes to learn. But let's say you're new to the game. Here are some good tips to take away with you, whether you're at a casino, at an event, at a party with friends, or at home.
But first, here are some terms you need to know:
Hit: Take another card.
Stand: Take no more cards.
Double down: Double your wager, take exactly one more card, and then stand.
Split: Double your wager and have each card be the first card in each hand. (This is only possible when both cards have the same value.
Surrender: Forfeit half the bet and give up the hand. (This option is sometimes not available.)
1. Play at the tables with the most favorable odds.
2. Play with the fewest decks possible. According to calculations, switching from 1 to 2 decks will handicap you by -0.35%. With 4 decks, that number goes to -0.48% and with 6 decks it is -0.54.
3. Remember the cards that are dealt in previous rounds. This way, you can rely on statistical probability.
4. If you are given cards that amount to 9 or less, hit.
5. If you are given cards that amount to 17, stand.
6. If you are given a soft 17 (an ace with a 6, then you cannot bust), double down.
Enhance and organize your game with the right accouterments. Blackjack card shoes help to sort your cards while accessories can really emit that true Vegas casino feel.
