The Classic Game of 21

In blackjack, each player is dealt two cards face up. The dealer also receives two cards, one face up, one down. All players play against the dealer. The dealer progresses in a clockwise manner from player to player. After all players have had their turn at drawing additional cards, the dealer turns his/her card over and draws additional cards if required.

The object of the game is to score closer to 21 than the dealer, without going over. Tens and face cards count as 10, aces count as either one or 11, and all other cards count as their face value. You may draw additional cards to raise your count closer to 21, if you so choose.

You “bust” when your count exceeds 21, and your bet is lost. If your count is closer to 21 than the dealer’s, you win. If the player’s hand ties the dealer’s hand, neither hand wins or loses. This is called a standoff or push. If the dealer busts, all bets remaining on the table are paid.

There are a number of simple options you can request such as “split” bets, “double-down” bets and “insurance” bets. Our gaming supervisors and dealers will be happy to explain these so that you may fully enjoy your play at our Blackjack tables. Good luck!
