How to Play Blackjack for Beginners
The goal of reaching 21 is fairly easy to get to grips with, but there are still a few rules you need to know about before you play for real cash. To get used to them, we recommend playing for fun first. Let’s walk through a typical game, so you know how it all works:

Join a Table
You’ll join the blackjack table. Once all players are ready, each one is dealt two cards face up. The dealer also receives two cards – one of them face up, the other face down.
Decide whether to Hit or Stand
Work out the value of your hand, as well as that of the dealer, to get as close as possible to 21 without going bust. You can either use your instinct or refer to our blackjack strategy cheat sheets.
Hit
Ask the dealer for another card. Do this when, based on the current value of your cards, either you’re sure that the next card won’t cause you to go bust, or you’re willing to run the risk of the dealer getting a better hand.
Stand
Ask the dealer to move on to the next player and deal you no more cards. You’ll probably do this when the value of your cards is quite high already (e.g. over 17), and you can’t be sure whether the dealer’s hand will beat yours.
Your Hand Value
As a result of the move you just made, you’ll probably have a new hand value. You’ll remain in the game if your hand is valued at 21 or anything less.
Dealer Reveals Their Cards
After all players at the table have made their decisions, the dealer will reveal their facedown card.
See Who is Closer to 21
If your hand is closer to 21 than that of the dealer, you bust the dealer and win. If the dealer has 21 or a closer score to 21 than any of the other players, the dealer wins.
The dealer will issue your winnings if you’ve been lucky. Your payout amount will depend on the type of bet that you placed.

Basic Blackjack Rules to Remember
There are a few other basic rules you’ll need to keep in mind. It’s always worth knowing what payouts you’ll receive in various blackjack scenarios, and which moves to make depending on your hand. Take a look at the additional rules below:

Advanced Betting Options
In addition to the basic rules, more experienced players should also take note of the following advanced rules to take their blackjack game to the next level:
Insurance
If a dealer shows an Ace as their face-up card, they’ll invite players to take insurance. This protects you in case the dealer has a card valued at 10.
Surrendering
In some online casinos, you can surrender half your bet if you don’t like your hand. The option varies from casino to casino.
Soft 17
A soft hand is a hand that has an Ace in it. It’s called soft because the hand has two values – either 1 or 11, plus the other cards. Some blackjack casinos require the dealer to hit on a soft 17 while others require that they stand. Make sure you check the rules before you play.
Taking money
If you hit a blackjack, but the dealer is showing an Ace, you’ll push (tie) if he also happens to have a Blackjack. If you don’t want to risk not winning, you can choose to take even money. Instead of getting paid 3:2, you’ll get paid 1:1.
