Never forget. In blackjack, if you want to succeed, you need to have a strategy. One of the most famous strategies is counting the cards as you can see in the movie Las Vegas 21. An amazing movie!

The smartest mathematicians thought about creating strategies to make players beat casinos!!!!!

Let’s start by giving these strategies to suceed when you play blackjack…

Hit: you take another card. To hit, you tap the table or you point at your cards.

Stand: you stop. To stand, you wave your hand, palm down.

Double down: you increase the wager to a maximum of double the original bet and take exactly one more card. To double down, you place the new chips next to the original bet.

Split: you double the wager and have each card be the first card in a new hand. To split, you place the new chips next to the original bet.

Surrender: you forfeit half the bet and give up the hands.

Recently, several numbers of blackjack variations have come out: Spanish 21, Super Fun 21, Blackjack Switch, Double Exposure,…

For example, Spanish 21:
- Four to eight decks dealt from a shoe
- 48-card Spanish decks (52-card decks with the 4 ten-spot cards removed). All cards have the same values as in blackjack.

However, most blackjack variants have to be avoided by experienced players.

Never forget the game objective.
Never make the mistake to think that you need to approach as close to 21 as possible.
You need to have hands higher than the dealer. That’s the key.
You win if your hand totals 21 or less when the dealer busts (hand exceeds 21).

You win if:
Your hand totals 20 and the dealer’s hand is 18 you win, if you bet $2, you get $2
You have anything under 21 and the dealer busts
You lose if:
You have 19 and the dealer has 20.
