If the Dealer has a 10 value card, the Dealer will check the hole card for an Ace. You will be paid at this time if the Dealer does not have an Ace or a ten value card as a face up card. If your two initial cards total 21, you have Blackjack. Otherwise, the Dealer pays all hands that exceed the Dealer's point total, takes all bets that are less and leaves all bets that equal the Dealer's point total ('pushes'). If a Dealer's point total exceeds 21, all Players win who have a point total of 21 or less. If you need additional cards to beat the Dealer, gesture one at a time for additional cards (called 'hits') until you decide to stand. The Ace counts either as 1 or 11, whichever you choose. Each card assumes the value of the card shown. The Dealer's second card is dealt face down and placed underneath the first card. The Dealer starts the game by dealing two cards face up to each Player. If you draw cards that total more than 21, your hand breaks and you lose. The object of this card game is to have the total point value of the cards dealt to you exceed the point value of the Dealer's hand without going over 21. Each Player's wager is a bet against the Dealer's hand. Blackjack is one of the most popular games in the casino.
