                                                            Blackjack is another all time favorite game at the casino's played by 
                                                            those of all ages.  It has fun and excitement and the players joke 
                                                            among themselves as a player takes the card that would have helped 
                                                            them get a 21 and at the same time they wonder how the dealer keeps 
                                                            getting good cards.  But just as quickly the luck turns and it's the 
                                                            dealer who get's the bad cards and everyone wins their bets.

                                                            Our dealers are great teachers of the game and will help the beginning 
                                                            player with suggestions on when to take another card and with the 
                                                            options they have such as splitting pairs and doubling down on their 
                                                            bets.

                                                            So how is the game of Blackjack played.
                                

                                                            Players start the game by placing a bet in the circle in front of them on 
                                                            the felt.  The dealer will give 2 cards to each player face up and 2 cards 
                                                            to themself with 1 face up and 1 face down.  The object of the game is 
                                                            to count the value of the cards and get as close to 21 without going over 
                                                            and still beating the dealers hand.  The cards of Jack, Queen, and King 
                                                            are counted as 10, and the Ace may be counted as a 1 or 11.

                                                            If the dealer has an Ace showing they will ask the players if they want 
                                                            insurance.  If the player thinks the dealer will have 21 with the first 2 
                                                            cards, they place a bet in the insurance box.  If the dealer does end up 
                                                            having 21, they will turn over the cards to show the players, pay the 
                                                            insurance bets at 2 to 1, and collect the losing bets.

                                                            Helpful Hint:  Most players do not take insurance.

                                                            Helpful Hint:  If the dealer does not turn over the cards with a 21 they 
                                                            gave the players some valuable information.  They don't have 21 and 
                                                            you can still beat the dealers hand.

                                                            The dealer will go from left to right asking each player if they want 
                                                            additional cards.  If the player goes over 21 the dealer will collect the 
                                                            losing bets and the players cards.  When all the players are finished 
                                                            taking additional cards the dealer will turn over their cards and take 
                                                            additional cards until they have 17 or higher.

                                                            Finally the dealer compares their hand to each players hand.  If the 
                                                            player beats the dealers hand they win the bet and are paid 1 to 1.  If 
                                                            the players hand equals the dealers hand it is a tie, also called a "push" 
                                                            and the player doesn't win or lose the bet.  If the dealers hand is better 
                                                            than the players hand, the player loses the bet.

                                                            Natural Blackjack:  This is when the player has an Ace with a 10, Jack, 
                                                            Queen or King on the first 2 cards they are dealt.  If the dealer does 
                                                            not also have a natural blackjack the player automatically wins their 
                                                            bet and is paid 3 to 2.

                                                            The players also have options while playing their hand.

                                                            Splitting Pairs:  If a player is dealt 2 cards which are the same they may 
                                                            split the cards and play 2 hands.  If the situation looks good to split the 
                                                            cards the player puts an equal bet next to the first one.  The dealer will 
                                                            then split the cards and deal a second card to each of the split cards and 
                                                            the player plays each hand seperately.  There are occasions when a 
                                                            player would want to split pairs and the dealer will give advice to anyone 
                                                            who asks.

                                                            Helpful Hint:  It is a good thing to be dealt 2 Aces so that you can split them.

                                                            Doubling Down.  If the player thinks it is a good time to double their bet 
                                                            for only one more card, they place an equal bet next to the first one and the 
                                                            dealer will give the player only 1 more card.  There are occasions when a 
                                                            player would want to double down and the dealer will give suggestions.
