Blackjack rules

Blackjack is traditionally played with six decks of regular playing cards (the number of sets can, however, vary from 1 to 8), where each set consists of 52 cards from 2 to ace in four suits (two black – save Piky and clubs Kríže – and two-red – hearts srdcia and glazing Kary).

​

The cards from 2 to 10 count for their numerical value, the picture cards count for 10, and the aces count for either 1 or 11. The Aces can therefore be used in so-called" soft " combinations. For example, if you have an ace and an 8, you have both 9 and 19. It's called" soft 19 "or" soft 19 " in English. The value of the combination as a starting point 19, but if you draw an extra card and gets over 21, reduced value of the ace to 1.

​

EXAMPLE

The combination of an ace and a 7 is called "soft 18". So, you have the value 11 + 7 = 18, but if you draw a card and get an 8, reduced the value of the ace to 1, so you now have 1 + 7 + 8 = 16.

 

In blackjack, you play the dealer, and the trick is to get a hand with a higher value than the dealer's hand without getting over 21. If you make it over 21, you'll lose no matter what the dealer's holding. If the dealer gets over 21, you win, but only if you're not over 21 yourself.

​

The common gain in blackjack is 1: 1. However, if, as your first two cards, you receive an ace and a 10-dollar card, you have blackjack, and the prize is usually 3:2 (10 kr bet). pays 25 kroner. including bet on the 10 kroner.).

​

Another rule is that the dealer doesn't draw any more cards when he or she reaches 17 or more. However, the rule does not always apply to soft 17. The rules for soft 17 vary from casino to casino, so in some places the dealer stands and elsewhere draws another card. If you play online, the current rules are always displayed on the screen. There you go.ex. read " dealer stands on soft 17 "("Dealer stop at soft 17") and" Blackjack pays 3 to 2 "("Blackjack pays 3 to 2").

​

If you fall over a game of blackjack, where the payout for blackjack is less than 3:2 (most commonly if there is only played with one or two decks of cards), you must be aware that it gives the casino a much bigger advantage than otherwise.
