The game of casino blackjack or more simply ’21’ is one of the most popular table game in a casino. Beginners are usually better off playing the "shoe" games where 6 or 8 decks are used. The beginners have a advantage. In this game the dealer splits in front of each beginer player, the cards face-up and the dealer can help him with playing questions and decisions. Once you become proficient at the game, you might want to switch to a game with fewer decks. The casino's advantage is lower with fewer decks in play. The basic premise of the game is that you want to have a hand value that is closer to 21 than that of the dealer, without going over 21. Other players at the table are of no concern. Your hand is strictly played out against the hand of the dealer. If you're playing at a shoe game, the player cards are all dealt face up. In any event, when you're just learning to play, don't hesitate to show the dealer or other players your cards and ask questions. In blackjack, the cards are valued as follows: an Ace can count as either 1 or 11, as explained below; the cards from 2 through 9 are valued at their face value; the 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10. In the blackjack casino gamess, the suites of the cards don't have a role, there are not important. Is simple to calculate the value of a hand. You make the sum of each point from the card, by calculating each cardsin the hand. If you have a hand that contains an Ace, this hand is called a "soft". After the bets are made , the dealer will split the cards or each player and he'll make two passes around the table starting at his left (your right) so that the players and the dealer have two cards each. (European and Australian players: See exception at the bottom of this section.) The dealer will flip one of his cards over, exposing its value. In the shoe games, the players cards will be dealt face-up, and the players are not allowed to touch the cards. If you're just beginning, you'll probably want to start at the shoe game where you don't have to worry about handling the cards. In the hand-held games, the player's cards are dealt face down, and the players pick up the cards. When handling the cards in a hand-held game, here are a few important things to remember. You are only allowed to touch the cards with one hand. If you're a poker player, this can take some effort to break old habits! You must keep the cards over the table. Any cards that the dealer subsequently deals to your hand must be left on the table, not added to the cards in your hand. Once the cards are dealt play proceeds around the table, starting at the first seat to the dealer's left, also called first base. Each player in turn indicates to the dealer how he wishes to play the hand. The various player decisions are covered in their own section below. In Europe, in most of the casinos give the dealer one card face up until all the players have finished their hands. The dealer then deals his second card, and finishes his hand. This is called the European No Hole Card rule. This can change a player's strategy if, and only if, the dealer collects all player bets in the event of a dealer blackjack. Some casinos that deal only one card at first to the dealer will refund any double-down or split bets if the dealer turns out to have a blackjack. This type of no hole card rule does not have any effect on the player's optimal strategy, and should not be described as European No Hole Card rules.
