Blackjack Basics: How to Deal Like a Pro
Whether you’re an adult or a senior, learning how to play blackjack is simple when you follow these easy steps. Let’s break it down.
1. Understanding the Objective
The goal of blackjack is simple: get as close to 21 as possible without going over. Players compete against the dealer, not each other. If the player’s hand value is higher than the dealer’s without exceeding 21, they win the round.
2. The Card Values
- Number cards (2-10): Face value
- Face cards (Jack, Queen, King): 10 points each
- Aces: 1 or 11 points (whichever benefits the player)
3. Setting Up the Game
- Shuffle a standard 52-card deck (or multiple decks for larger tables).
- Each player is dealt two face-up cards, while the dealer gets one face-up and one face-down card.
- Players decide whether to hit (take another card) or stand (keep their current hand).
- If a player goes over 21, they bust and lose the round.
- Players can also double down (double their bet and take only one more card) or split (if they have two of the same card, they can separate them into two hands and continue playing each separately).
- The dealer reveals their face-down card once all players have completed their turns.
- The winner is determined based on the closest hand to 21 without going over.
4. Dealer Rules
As the dealer, you follow specific rules:
- Always hit on 16 or lower.
- Always stand on 17 or higher.
- If the players bust, the dealer wins automatically.
- If both dealer and player have the same value, it’s a push (tie).
- If the dealer busts, all remaining players win.
- The dealer does not have the option to split or double down like players do.
Why Being Your Own Dealer is a Smart Move
Save Money and Gain Control
Professional dealers are great, but if you’re hosting a private event, learning to deal blackjack can cut costs significantly. Instead of hiring extra staff, use that budget to enhance your party with premium decorations, gourmet catering, or extra gaming tables.
