Instructions on How to Play Blackjack Online Made Easy

By: Gene Marshall

The game of blackjack is a popular gambling card game that is played all over the world. The game is one of the most popular games in live casinos you will see players crowded around the blackjack table in most casinos around the world. However, the game of 21 blackjack can also be played online in Internet casinos.

When you play online blackjack you play by the same rules as when you play the live game. If you are already familiar with the rules of the game then it is incredibly easy to get started playing Internet blackjack. Even if you don't already know how to play blackjack it's easy to learn how and get started playing blackjack on the web.

The game of blackjack is played against a dealer. The objective of the game is to obtain a hand that is worth a higher value than the dealer's hand without breaking a value of 21, which is known as "busting". Hand values are determined by adding cards together--Aces are worth 1 or 11; 2 through 10 are worth their face value; face cards are worth 10 each. Before the game begins you must place a bet. If you win you will get paid based on this bet; if you lose then you will lose the money that you bet.

After bets have been placed the blackjack game begins. The dealer gives each player 2 cards, face up. The dealer takes 2 cards as well but places 1 of them face down. Based on your 2 cards and the dealer's exposed card you must decide to "stay" or "hit". If you stay then you will not receive additional cards. If you hit then the dealer will give you additional cards to increase the value of your hand.

Once you have obtained your final hand the dealer exposes his face down card. Blackjack rules state that if the dealer's hand is 17 or less, or if the dealer's hand is worth a lower value than your own hand, the dealer will take an additional card. Once the dealer's hand is finalized the winners will be determined. If your hand is worth a higher value than the dealers and hasn't broken 21 then you are paid. If the dealer beats you then you lose your bet.

These are basic blackjack rules. As you play blackjack you will begin to learn more complicated rules such as splitting (in which you can split your initial 2-card hand into 2 separate hands), doubling your bet once your cards have been dealt and Insurance (in which you can place a second bet if the dealer has an up-card of an Ace so that you can break even in the event of the dealer having Blackjack).

You can play blackjack for free online in order to familiarize yourself with online casino blackjack. Free blackjack is also a great way to learn how to play this popular game before playing for real money.
