About Blackjack
Blackjack is played with six, standard 52-
card decks dealt from a “shoe” (a box
containing more than one deck). This
means that there are 24 cards of each
value in the shoe (24 aces, 24 kings,
etc.). This shoe is shuffled after 2/3 of
the cards have been dealt. The player
and dealer are dealt two cards each, one
of the dealer’s cards is dealt face down.
The number cards are equal to their face
value, the picture cards (king, queen,
and jack) count as 10, and the ace can
count as either 1 or 11, depending on
which brings the hand closer to 21. Note
that the four suits (hearts, diamonds,
clubs, and spades) have no effect on the
value of your hand.
The object of the game is simple: to have
a hand equal to “21” or closer to 21 than
the dealer's hand without going over 21.
A winning hand pays 1 to 1 to the play-
ers original bet, except blackjack (two
cards that together equal 21) which pays
3:2 (so a bet of $10 would win $15). If
the dealer and player stand on the same
value, then it is called a “push”, and no
one wins or loses the hand.
The dealer will continue to receive cards
until the hand equals or exceeds 17.
