Typical BlackJack Rules
Cards
BlackJack is played with four standard decks of 52 cards (Jokers not included). Number cards, 2-10, count as face value. Face cards, kings, queens and jacks, are equal in value to 10 and aces are valued at either 1 or 11. No particular significance is given to any of the 4 suits.

Play takes place against a computerized dealer.Both player and dealer are dealt two cards each.The player's two cards are dealt face up, while only the dealer's first card is shown.A player can choose an additional card by clicking HIT.A player may repeat this as many times as he likes so long as the total of his cards does not exceed "21". If the total surpasses "21", it is considered a "bust" and the player automatically loses.

Once a player is satisfied with the cards he is holding, he should click STAND.It is now the dealer's turn to reveal his face down card and decide whether he would like to take another card.The dealer must have cards totaling "17" or more. Once the dealer is satisfied with the cards he is holding, the winner is decided. If the player's card total is greater than the dealer's, or if the dealer busts then the player is the winner.

If the player's card total is the same as the dealer it is considered a "push" and the player does not lose his bet.

BlackJack
If a 10-value card, i.e. the number 10 card of any suit or a king, queen or jack, plus an ace are initially dealt in any hand, it is considered "Blackjack". The player wins 1.5 times his bet and automatically loses if the dealer is dealt a "Blackjack". If both are dealt a "Blackjack" it is considered a "push".

Insurance (not in all cases)
If the visible card of the dealer is an ace, the player may buy "insurance" by betting and additional 0.5 times his initial bet. If the dealer then gets "Blackjack", the player will win 2 times his "insurance" bet. If the dealer does not get "Blackjack", then the player loses his "insurance" bet and the outcome of his initial bet is determined by the total of the cards he is holding vs. the dealer's cards.

Splitting
If a player is dealt two cards of the same value (including two of the same face cards), he is entitled to </>"split" the cards and double his initial bet. He will now be playing two hands of Blackjack, one at a time. The first hand is dealt a second card. The player must decide whether he would like to "STAND" or take another card by clicking "HIT". Once the player has finished the first hand, he must move onto the second, repeating the same process. After the player is satisfied with both hands it is the dealer's turn. The dealer will now reveal his other card and take additional cards until he has a total of "17" or more.

Double Down
The player may double his bet after viewing his initial two cards. He will then only be allowed one additional "HIT" to complete his hand. It is also possible to "Double Down" after a "Split", except in the case of two aces.
