10.22.2009 · Posted in Business News Article

I started dealing blackjack when I was 23, a long time ago. Dealing was not the easiest job, but it gave me a different perspective to how people react when there money was on the line. It also made me a much better player.nnIt’s always easier to make a call when what you are risking is minimal. When the stakes are higher peoples decision making changes. This is hard to accept as a dealer, when you think every decision is easy. The irony is when I found myself on the other side of the table making the same mistakes I saw every one else make.nnThe Basics of Blackjack The object of blackjack The object of blackjack, like many other casino card games is to beat the dealer. After a series of cards has been dealt by the dealer, to the players and himself, and your hand totals more than the dealers without exceeding twenty one, your a winner.nnAlthough there are many variations of this great game, this rule does not change. If the dealer and any of the players have the same total after a hand has been completed the result is called a push (not a win and not a loss).nnPlaying Blackjack All cards from two to ten have a value equal to the number on the card. All face cards, that is, jacks, queens and kings have a value of ten. The ace has a value of either one or eleven. For example, if you are dealt a queen and a nine your total is nineteen, if you are dealt an ace and a eight your total is either nine or nineteen.nnFor example, if you are dealt a king and a seven your total is seventeen, if you are dealt an ace and a four your total is either five or fifteen. If you are dealt an ace and any card value of ten you have a blackjack which beats all other hands except one. That is if the dealer has a blackjack, in which case the result is a push, ending the hand and a new hand is dealt.
