Gambling nowadays becomes a trend in many countries. Whether it is allowed or even forbidden by the government’s rule, we cannot deny that gambling has an addiction substance. Today, there are many ways to play gambling whether it is manual, the players come to the casino to play some games, or play games online. Online casino games are more popular today. People feel safer to play online because they do not have to go to the real casino to play.
Blackjack casino games is one of the top games chosen by the players. It is also well known as Twenty One. Both in manual and online blackjack casino games, the players play against the dealer. Both players and dealer are playing 2 cards each to get score 21 or close to it. Both players’ cards face up, while for the dealer, only one card which faces up. One thing to avoid is to get over 21 or you will be out of the game and lose your bet.
After getting the cards, some rules are run in the game.
· Hit: When you feel that both cards you have are not good enough or still far from 21, you can ask the dealer to give you another card by saying “hit me”. In blackjack casino games, if you think that your cards are still not satisfying enough, then you can ask for another card by saying “hit me” again. You can do this when you get your turn.
· Stand/ Stay: It means that you have satisfied with your first two cards and you do not want to get another card. Just say “stand/ stay” or just wave your hand over your cards. It is just the same with “Don’t give me another cards.”
· Bust: You get two cards and the score is over 21. It means that you have to quit in that round and lose all bets you have put on the table.
· Double down: You ask double down to the dealer which means that you double up your bet and the dealer will give you only one more card. In some blackjack casino games, the dealer are allowed to do doubling down for any two cards he or she have, but the others are allowed to double down only if they have a 10 or 11.
· Split: When you get a pair of identical cards then you have a chance to split them up into two hands with one bet on each. It means that you have one card on each hand and can ask for hit until you think you need to stay or just get bust.
· Surrender: If you think that you will lose by having your two cards, you can say “surrender” to the dealer and you will get half of your bet back.
· Insurance: In blackjack casino games, when the dealer’s facing up card is an ace, then he will offer you some insurance. It means that if the dealer ends the game with blackjack, you will get your bet back fully; otherwise you will lose your entire bet if the dealer doesn’t get blackjack by the end of the game.
There are some other rules of blackjack casino games. There are:
· Stand on 17: When the dealer gets score of 17, he must stand and not allowed to get another card. But, if he gets 16 or lower, he can ask for hit.
· Dealer’s blackjack: When the dealer gets an ace and any kind of face card, then the other players will loose.
· Player’s blackjack: If the player gets blackjack, then the dealer has to pay the player one and half time of the bet, unless the dealer also has blackjack.
