How to Win Blackjack

A winning hand in blackjack is one that totals 21 or closest to 21.

21 can be made up of different card combinations.

An ace with a picture card or a 10 is known as 'blackjack' and beats all other hands.

Picture cards are valued at 10 while all other cards have the value shown on them.

Aces can be valued at either 1 or 11 depending on which helps your hand better.

If your cards equal the same value as the dealer's hand then you will get your bet back in what is known as a 'push.'

Splitting

If you are dealt two cards of the same value then you will have the option to split your hand.

You must bet the same stake to cover both hands.

Doubling Down

After receiving your first two cards you have the option to double down on your bet.

To double down, you must match your existing bet for that hand and you will receive only one extra card.

If you win you will be paid out at twice your initial wager.

A unique feature of Atlantic City Blackjack is that you can double down on any two cards, and also get the chance to double down after splitting your initial hand.

Insurance

If the dealer's first card is showing Ace then you will get the chance to protect your hand against the possibility of the dealer getting blackjack by offering insurance.

Taking insurance will cost you half of your original bet.

If the dealer does not end up getting blackjack you will forfeit your insurance bet and the hand will continue as normal.

Surrender

This option allows you to walk away from your hand after it has been dealt.

You lose half of your original bet if you choose to surrender.
