Blackjack Rules at SBG Global Online Casino
Blackjack rules begin by looking at card values. King, Queen, Jack, 10 are worth 10 while 2-9 are face value. Aces are worth 1 or 11 in Blackjack rules. Blackjack rules say that the player wins when the total value of cards in his hand is closer to 21 than those held by the dealer, without going over 21. A hand with a value over 21 is called a "bust," and is an automatic loser in Blackjack game rules. If you and the dealer have the same card total (17 and up) it is a tie and your bet is returned.
Blackjack rules state that the player gets paid one and a half times his bet if his first two cards total 21 (called a Blackjack.) The only way two cards can have a value of 21 is if one of them is an Ace, and the other is a 10-value card. Blackjack rules state that a blackjack beats all other hands except for another blackjack. If you have a blackjack, and the dealer has 3 cards that add up to 21, you still win the hand even though you both have hands valued at 21.
Blackjack rules state that if you lose a hand, you lose the amount of your bet.
Blackjack game rules say that the dealer must 'hit' until the total is 17 or above. If the dealer's hand is between 17 and 21, the dealer must stand. If the dealer goes over 21 while taking additional cards, he "busts," and automatically loses. If the dealer busts, all players that are still in the game win.
Blackjack rules state that if your first two cards have the same point value, you may split them into two separate hands by placing a second bet equal to the original bet. You then proceed to draw cards. You are able to draw as many cards as you like on each split hand, but if you split two aces, you receive only one additional card for each ace. Blackjack game rules say that if you split two aces and one of your hands totals 21, it is counted as 21 and not blackjack.
Blackjack rules state that after you are dealt two cards, and you think that another card will allow you to beat the dealer's hand, you can increase your bet by an amount up to your original bet or double your bet. This is also known as 'doubling down'. Once you decide to 'double down' you are allowed to receive just one more card. Blackjack game rules say that you cannot stand on your original hand or take more than 1 additional card.
Blackjack rules state that insurance is designed to protect you when you think that the dealer may have blackjack. If the dealer does have blackjack, you are paid 2 to 1 on your insurance bet. If the dealer doesn't have blackjack, you lose your insurance bet.
