If you want more cards, you can Hit, and if you’re happy with the cards you have, you can stand and let the dealer play out its hand. There are two basic options that you’ll have with every hand. An A can be worth either 1 or 11 points, whichever works in your favour. Card ValuesĮxcept for the A and picture cards, all cards are valued at their face value. The dealer will have two cards, one face-up and one face-down, although the order of when the dealer gets the cards will depend on if you’re playing with American or European rules, as will be explained further down. The dealer then deals the cards, giving the player two face-up cards. BETTING RULES: HOW TO PLAY BLACKJACK? Order of Play
