Blackjack, also known as 21, is a popular card game played at casinos and casino-themed events. It's a game of strategy, skill, and luck that is enjoyed by players of all levels of experience. Whether you're a seasoned gambler or a beginner, the rules of Blackjack are easy to learn and understand.

The Goal of the Game

The goal of the game is to have a hand total of 21 or as close to 21 as possible without going over. Each card is worth its numerical value, except for face cards (Jacks, Queens, and Kings), which are worth 10 points, and Aces, which can be worth either 1 or 11 points, depending on what is best for the player's hand.

Starting the Game

To start the game, each player is dealt two cards, face up, and the dealer is dealt two cards, one face up and one face down.

Playing Your Hand

• The player can choose to "hit" and receive additional cards one at a time, with the goal of getting closer to 21. The player can continue to hit until they reach a satisfactory total or go over 21 and "bust." If the player busts, they automatically lose.

• Alternatively, the player can choose to "stand" and keep their current hand.

• The dealer then reveals their face down card and must hit until they reach a total of 17 or higher. If the dealer busts, all remaining players win.

Winning the Game

• If a player's first two cards are an Ace and a 10 or face card, they have a "Blackjack" and win immediately, unless the dealer also has a Blackjack, in which case it's a push (tie).

• At our events, players can win prizes for achieving certain hands, such as a Blackjack or a five-card hand totaling 21 or less.

Tips for Success

It's important to remember that Blackjack is a game of both skill and chance. Understanding basic strategy can increase your chances of winning, but luck still plays a significant role.
