Unlike games of pure chance, Blackjack offers you a chance to make strategic decisions that can improve your odds. The goal is simple: get a hand closer to 21 than the dealer, without going over. Before you grab a seat at one of our tables, here are a few simple concepts to get you started.

The Essentials: Card Values

• Aces: Can be 1 or 11.
• 2-10: Face value.
• Jacks, Queens, Kings: All worth 10.

Your Moves at the Table

After the first two cards are dealt, you have a few options:

• Hit: Take another card.
• Stand: Keep your current hand and end your turn.
• Double Down: Double your bet and receive exactly one more card.
• Split: If you have two cards of the same value, you can split them into two separate hands.
