How To Play Blackjack
At the USA Casino you start playing the game by placing you bet. Once all players have placed their wagers,
the virtual dealer deals everyone 2 cards, including himself. Once the initial 2-cards hand is dealt there are several
scenarios that come in to play.
In case the player has a blackjack (hand totaling 21) and the dealer doesn't,
the player wins and vice versa.
A situation in which both dealer and player manage to land a blackjack is referred
to as a Tie or a Push, where neither one wins.
In the event none of them has a blackjack, every player needs to finish
playing out his hand. After each player's turn has passed, the dealer has to play his hand.
After the initial hand was dealt the player can proceed by choosing to do one of the following.
"Hitting", which means to take another card; "Standing", which is to stay put and not take anymore cards;
"Doubling down", which is to double the initial wager by taking an additional card, and than opting to stand put.
"Splitting", that is to split a hand made out of 2 cards with the same value into two separate hands.
"Surrendering", is to surrender your hand and thereby lose your bets.
The player's turn is over if any of the following three scenarios occur. First, the player chooses to stand,
which means that he is content with the hand he is currently holding and doesn't want to take any more cards.
Second, the player busts by going over 21. Third, the player may also opt to double down and take one more card.
Once all the players have finished playing their hand, the dealer then turns over his card that was facing down and
plays his hand.
