Blackjack Rules

Blackjack is fairly straightforward once you grow accustomed to playing it, but many players prefer to read all of the rules before they sit down, and this is likely a good idea. Blackjack rules are not set in stone. In fact, they vary from game to game depending on a small set of variables that the house chooses for the game.

Generally stated, each blackjack player competes only against the dealer (i.e. the bank/casino), not against other players. Your goal as the player is to beat the dealer by drawing cards until your hand comes close to 21, without exceeding it. If your first two cards total 21, you have what is known as a 'natural blackjack'. If the dealer gets closer to 21 than you without going over themselves, they win. The dealer follows a strict set of blackjack rules written just for them, and knowing what the dealer must do at the table is as important as knowing what you yourself can do.

Learning blackjack rules online is a great deal easier than trying to learn at a table in a land-based casino. Besides the pressure you feel from the players around you, and the dealers themselves, you are expected to wager your money as you learn. This is something everyone prefers to avoid. Playing online eases this concern, as you may play unlimited amounts of blackjack on a free play version before placing any real bets. To try playing for free, download the GoldenPalace.com casino software suite; it includes both free and real versions of all our popular games.

Blackjack rules online are the same as in a land-based casino, and as mentioned previously, can vary slightly from establishment to establishment. To playing online is very simple, since the software won't let you make any real errors, playing is as simple as clicking your mouse. Open our software to see how many bet denominations are readily available. To place a bet for a specific denomination click on the chip, the software will automatically place this chip in the betting area for you. To remove a bet, right click on the stack in the betting area.

All standard forms of blackjack rules dictate that the numerical values of the cards are: (10, J, Q, K) = 10, (Ace) = 1 or 11, (other cards) = face value (3 = 3).

Blackjack rules for the dealer are very simple. If the dealer's hand is 16 or less, they must take a card. If the dealer's hand is 17 or more, they must stand. Note that some casinos allow the dealer to hit on soft 17, which gives the house a very small additional advantage. In the GoldenPalace.com software the dealer must stand on all seventeen's. The dealer's strategy is fixed and they do not change their decisions in an attempt to beat the players.

The player can do most anything they want as far as hitting and standing goes. Should a player get a natural blackjack (first 2 cards are an Ace and a ten) standard blackjack rules payoff at 150% (or 3 to 2) the original bet. For example, betting $10.00 determines the payoff to be $15.00. Doubling down is restricted to 2-card hands, totaling 9, 10, or 11. When the option to double down is available, the software will ask you if you wish to --->

One fundamental thing that many people do not learn when they first learn how to play blackjack is the true object of the game. Many people falsely believe that the object of the game is to have a hand that is as close to 21 as possible without going over. While this is part of the rules, it is almost, but not quite your true goal as a player. Your true goal is nothing more than to beat the dealer; it just happens to be easier to beat the dealer with a hand that is close to 21. But don't fall into that trap. You win just as much if you beat the dealer with a 14 as you do if you beat them with a 20. This is when studying your blackjack strategy comes in particularly handy.

Now that you have your cards and the dealer has his, you can decide how you wish to proceed. You have a number of options, including the two most called for, 'hit', or 'stand'. To 'hit' your hand is to take another card, to 'stand' is to leave your hand 'as is' in hopes that it will beat the dealer.

Other options include 'splitting' and 'doubling down'. You are allowed to split two cards if they are the same value. Doing so means you are literally taking each card and making it the first card of two new hands. Say you are dealt two 8's. Since two eights on their own only gives you 16 (not a very strong hand), splitting them to two hands with an 8 to start is the smart move. This way you have two decent chances at 18. When you split, you are required to place a second bet equal to your original bet for your second hand. This is done automatically by the software.

If you have split your eights, the dealer will push your cards to two separate hands and give you a second card for the first hand. The dealer will then prompt you to make a decision on this hand, and continue to do so until the hand has busted or been asked to stand. The dealer will then proceed to your second hand, deal a second card, and ask for your decision once again.

Your other option, in addition to hitting, standing, or spitting, is called doubling down. After you have been dealt your first two cards, if you have a hand with a total of 9, 10 or 11, you can choose to double your bet on the table. The reason you would want to do this is if you believe you have a good chance of having a strong hand after one more card is dealt to you. The catch is, even if you're dealt a two on a ten, you only get one more card, so you're stuck with a 12. The time to choose to double down is when your first two cards total 10 or 11, and you can expect a 20 or 21 if the next card dealt to you has a value of 10. It is important to take note of the dealer's up-card when deciding to double or not. If the dealer is showing busting cards (up-card of 4, 5, or 6 indicating that they are likely to have 14, 15, or 16 and will likely bust) you're making a smarter decision by choosing to double down.

... Value for the Gambler.

Finding good value in the world of casino gambling is often a challenge. Tangible value is abundant at casinos (free rooms in Vegas, food, and complimentary beverages) but it doesn't really affect your luck at the tables. Playing online offers a wide range of benefits in the form of sign-up and frequent player bonuses, but there are some subtle bonuses that the online world offers that many don't fully realize.

Free roulette is a good example. Can this really be considered comparable to a free meal or drink? To the serious gambler, the ability to play free roulette for as long as you wish is enough make one's ears prick up. Almost every player at the roulette table has a system, whether it be a complicated mathematical one or a simply a favorite number, everyone would love to know a little more about how effective it is. Free roulette offers a way to test out any system or hunch, without actually putting real money on the line. At an online casino like GoldenPalace.com, where the free game versions run with the same odds and game-play as the real money version, testing your systems and methods works very well.

The only way to grow from a beginner to an intermediate player is to get some time in at the table. The only way to grow from an intermediate player to an expert is to get some time in at the table and pay attention to what's going on! Playing online gives you the added advantage of controlling your play, over time. It also helps to focus your attention on the game and maintain freedom to do what you wish while you play. This means you can take detailed notes on every aspect of the game as it progresses, and no casino security can come and escort you away!

If you're playing through scenarios on a free roulette game, you can easily consult a book, website, or friend for advice, without interrupting a real session, and when you're playing for real you can concentrate on winning.
