add an equal amount to your wager and get
two more cards dealt forming two separate new starting hands.
- Insurance / Insurance is offered to
the players if the dealer's up card is an Ace, to protect against a
dealers Black Jack. You will have to pay half of your original bet and
will get 2:1 odds when the dealer has a Black Jack. Unless you also
have a black jack your original bet is lost.
- Surrender / This decision is quite
rare and not offered is most casinos. After you see your starting hand
and the dealers up card and you don't think you can win, you have to
give your cards back to the dealer immediately. If you surrender you
will only lose half of your original bet. You cannot surrender if the
dealer has a Black Jack.
After all the players have made their
decision the dealer will then play his hand. The playing of the
dealer's hand must follow certain rules. He must hit on every total
less than 17 or otherwise stand. Some casinos even let the dealer hit
when he has a soft 17. The rules which the dealer has to follow will
be written clearly on the Black Jack table, so there will be no
confusion.
You win if either the dealer busts or
has a total less than yours. The odds are 1:1. If the total is the
same it's a draw or a push and your original wager is returned to you.
A black jack beats an ordinary 21 and is paid 3:2 odds.
