How does blackjack work?

Learn the basics and check each table's rules.

In classic blackjack, your hand is compared with the dealer's. The goal is to have a better hand without exceeding 21 points, subject to the table rules.

Cards 2 through 10 count at face value; J, Q and K count as 10; an ace may count as 1 or 11 depending on the hand. Generally, you may take another card or stand. A hand over 21 loses.

An ace and a 10-value card as the first two cards form a blackjack. Payouts, ties and additional options depend on the table rules.
