Basic Gameplay

The game begins when players place their bets, and both the dealer and players receive two cards. 토토사이트

The dealer typically deals one card face up (called the “upcard”) and one card face down (the “hole card”).

Players’ cards are both dealt face-up. Players then have the following options based on the value of their hand and the dealer’s upcard:

  • Hit: Request another card to increase the value of your hand. Players can hit as many times as they want, but if the total exceeds 21, they “bust” and lose the round.
  • Stand: Keep the current hand and end your turn.
  • Double Down: Double your initial bet and receive only one more card.
  • Split: If you have two cards of the same value, you can split them into two separate hands by placing an additional bet equal to the original wager. Each hand is then played independently.
  • Surrender: Some variations of blackjack allow players to forfeit half of their bet and end their participation in the round.

The dealer must follow specific rules: they must hit if their hand totals 16 or less and stand on 17 or higher (though this varies in some casinos where the dealer hits on “soft 17,” meaning a hand with an Ace counted as 11).

The player wins by having a hand total closer to 21 than the dealer or if the dealer busts.
