Blackjack, the game and its rules

In the game of blackjack your first rule could not be simpler: the figure reaches 21 by combining the values ​​of the deck. This value is always the same: in the case of number cards (2 to 10) its value is exactly the same as the letter itself indicates, the figures (Jack, Queen and King) are worth 10 each and the Ace is a letter value twofold: 1 or 11, depending on what suits you the player at the time (which will obviously depend not pass the 21 on the final play).

The act of getting 21 with the use of only two cards is called Blackjack and in those cases the lucky player wins immediately. Generally, the game takes place in a mixer features semicircular in form, in which players (which can be up to 7 inclusive) are opposed to the dealer. Used to play 1 or 2 common English decks (52 cards each). The game begins with each player receives two cards and choose to stand there and keep asking these to as close as possible to 21. The act of going over this amount, the player immediately disqualified. The winner will obviously be those who manage BlackJack or failing that the closer you looked 21. In turn, the dealer is contained by its own set of rules, including your score at the beginning will never be less than 16 and not seek to further increase to reach 17 or more, beyond the cards and ask results obtained by the players.

Upon winning the game, the player takes on what you bet, except in the case of winning with BlackJack (where he won 3 to 2 on the basis you have wagered at first). In the game, there are a series of bets and guidelines that may (or may not) help in gaining:

Double: It adds a bet on the original bet and your first two cards, the dealer here adds a third letter. Normally this bet is allowed in cases where the first two cards add up to 9, 10 or 11, but there are casinos where betting is permitted in any case.

Separating: It is allowed in cases in which the first two cards are of equal value, and the player can have two games (and betting) different. In cases that the next card dealt by the dealer to repeat the original, you can return to separate the bet.

Ensure: This can happen in the unlikely event that the player believes the dealer will get Blackjack in his own letters (say, the first dealer's up card is an Ace). The player claims an amount not to exceed half of that first initial bet. If correct, the dealer pays the player wise twice that same bet.
