If you can count to twenty one and are accurate in your arithmetic skills, you are already on your way to playing this widely popular casino game. Once your counting
surpasses that twenty one mark (or “pontoon” in British English), rest assured your wallet will begin to hurt, so no need to show off how high one can count in this game.
Sitting yourself at the blackjack table pins you solely against the dealer and, unlike many other games, not against the other players. Blackjack rules are quite simple. The foremost objective is not to bust, or reach a hand with a higher total than 21. Only then can you still
be eligible to vie with the dealer and be in the running to collect winnings.
Card values are the following: Two through ten are worth their face value and face cards (jack, queen, king) are worth 10. The ace's value is 11 unless such a value would bring the player's hand to a bust, in which case it is worth 1. The ways to reach that cherished 21 are varied: if in your two-card hand you've accumulated 21 through an ace plus a ten-value card, your work is done, for you're an automatic winner (except for the rare cases that the dealer also has a blackjack, in which case nobody wins). If this is not your luckiest day and you have to work towards your win, you can do so by requesting (or “hitting”-see glossary of terms in the advanced player link) additional cards beyond the two dealt to you to get as close as possible to 21 without going over.
Ok, so how do I win?
As stated above, in this game, your only competitor is the dealer. He is bound by a set of rules that guide how he will play and represent the house. It is the player's aim to gauge the dealer's position throughout the game and make his moves accordingly. There is no reason why several players on the table can't win simultaneously on the same hand.
