When you are on a Big “M” Casino Cruise, you will see a lot of action in the Blackjack pits.
So to be prepared for your next cruise, it’s a good idea to get familiar with the basic rules of Blackjack:
The goal of blackjack is to beat the dealer’s hand without going over 21.
Face cards are worth 10.
Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever makes a better hand.
Each player starts with two cards; one of the dealer’s cards is hidden until the end.
To ‘Hit’ is to ask for another card.
To ‘Stand’ is to hold your total and end your turn.
If you go over 21 you bust, and the dealer wins regardless of the dealer’s hand.
If you are dealt 21 from the start (Ace & 10), you got a Blackjack.
Blackjack usually means you win 1.5 the amount of your bet, this also depends on the casino.
The dealer will hit until his/her cards total 17 or higher.
Doubling down is like a hit, only the bet is doubled and you only get one more card.
Split can be done when you have two of the same card – the pair is split into two hands.
Splitting also doubles the bet, because each new hand is worth the original bet.
You can only double/split on the first move, or first move of a hand created by a split.
You cannot play on two aces after they are split.
You can double on a hand resulting from a split of your bet.
