Blackjack compares each player's total with the dealer's total. The usual aim is to finish closer to 21 than the dealer without exceeding 21. Cards 2 through 10 count at face value, face cards count as 10, and an ace can count as 1 or 11.
Rules such as the dealer's required draw on a soft 17, number of decks, and the availability of split, double, or surrender vary by table. Read the current rule screen first.
You are normally dealt an opening hand and choose whether to take another card (hit) or keep the current total (stand). Going over 21 is a bust. The dealer follows the table's fixed drawing rule, then eligible hands are compared.
An ace plus a ten-value card in the first two cards is commonly called a blackjack; check the table's payout and tie rule.
A hand with an ace counted as 11 is soft. The ace may switch to 1 if treating it as 11 would make the total exceed 21.
Split, double, insurance, and surrender are table-specific. Never assume an option exists before the table displays it.
Basic decision charts depend on the exact table rules, especially the dealer's soft-17 rule and the deck count. A chart for a different version may not apply. Read the table limits and game information, and set a session limit before starting.
An ace can count as 1 or 11, whichever makes the hand valid and more useful under the rules.
That is generally a push, but the exact settlement should be confirmed in the table rules.
No. Follow the current table rules and do not treat a prior hand as a promise about the next one.
