Blackjack Tips & Rules

Basic Rules

• Beat the dealer by getting closer to 21 without going over.
• Face cards (J, Q, K) are worth 10. Aces are 1 or 11.
• Blackjack (Ace + 10-value) pays 3:2.
• Dealer hits on soft 17 (Ace + 6).
• Double Down: double your bet for exactly one more card.
• Split: split a pair into two separate hands.
• Split Aces receive only one card each and pay 1:1 (not 3:2).
