02 // STEPS
Step by step
- 01
Place your bet
Every seated player picks a bet each round. Computer players bet too.
- 02
The deal
Each player gets two cards face up. The dealer gets one face-up card and one hole card. With an ace or ten showing, the dealer peeks for blackjack.
- 03
Play your hand
Hit to take a card or stand to keep your total. Double to double your bet and take exactly one more card. Split a pair once into two hands; split aces get one card each.
- 04
Dealer draws
The dealer reveals the hole card and draws to 17, standing on every 17 including soft 17.
- 05
Payouts
A win pays 1:1 and a natural blackjack pays 3:2. Ties push (your bet comes back), and busting always loses.

Pro tips
- Stand on hard 17 or more. Against a dealer 7 or higher, keep hitting a hard 12–16.
- Double 11 against anything up to a dealer 10.
- Always split aces and eights. Never split tens or fives.
