Blackjack Basics
The game of blackjack, or 21, is a classic casino game requiring both skill and a little bit of luck. The game's basics are very simple, however there are many tricks, that you can find in platinum play mobile casino webiste, the pros use to help increase their edge.
The object of blackjack is to get as close to 21 as possible without going over (also known as busting), while also beating the dealer's hand. You are playing only against the dealer; the cards held by the other players do not determine whether you win or lose. If the dealer busts, all players still in the game are winners.
Game Play
The game begins with each player making a bet. Each player then receives two cards, both face up, while the dealer receives one card face up and one face down. The player to the dealer's left (known as the player on "first base") then decides whether or not to "hit," or take another card, or "stand," meaning to stay with the initial two cards. The player may take as many cards as desired, but if the cards total more than 21, the dealer collects the cards and the player's bet.
After the first player busts or stands, the dealer moves on to the next player. After all players have played, the dealer flips over the hidden card to reveal his total. If the total is 17 or more, the dealer must stand, regardless of the total of any player's hand. If the total is 16 or less, the dealer must hit, regardless of what the players are holding, until the total reaches 17 or busts. If the dealer busts, all players who have not busted win the hand. All winning bets pay even money, except that "blackjack," or an ace and 10 on the initial two cards, pays 3-2.
Hand values are determined by the value of the card, with all face cards counting as 10. Aces may be used as either 1 or 11.
