Rummy Blackjack rules
Start playing by placing a bet, competing against the dealer who hands out two cards – one facing upward so you can see what she holds!
Cards are assigned a numerical point value and scored accordingly.
Cards bearing numbers have their value determined solely by their numerical value, regardless of suit.
a 2 values two points while an 8 counts as eight;
an ace can count either one or eleven depending on player preference;
face cards (queen, king, or jack) each carry a 10-point value.
Your goal should always be to outwit and outscore the dealer with regards to winning sum. Even if he wins, you still may continue playing.
Get any hand with 22 or higher and you are busted and should no longer play again.
As soon as your hand fails, even if the dealer subsequently follows suit, it means instant loss.
Blackjack players play before their dealer does.
Your choices largely revolve around whether to stand or strike.
“Hit” refers to adding another card to the deck.
Acceptance means acknowledging what one already possesses.
If both cards match, split your hand by placing two equal bets equaling your initial bet – creating two identical blackjack hands with initial cards matching exactly with their respective initial bets for easier playback purposes. Thus, two identical blackjack hands now offer easier playback, featuring initial cards that fit exactly.
Double Down (or “doubling up”) is another betting strategy available to you. When doubled up, your bet doubles while only taking an additional card from the deck.
