Blackjack is the absolute crown jewel of the casino table games pit, offering the best mathematical odds for the educated player.


The goal is not simply to get as close to 21 as possible; the true goal is strictly to beat the dealer's hand without going over 21.


Decoding the Card Values


Cards numbered 2 through 10 are worth their exact printed face value (e.g., a 7 of Spades is worth 7 points).


If you hold an Ace and an 8, your hand is worth 19; if you draw a 5, the Ace automatically reverts to a 1, making your new total 14 to save you from busting.


  • Going over a total of 21 is called 'Busting' or 'Breaking'; if you bust, you immediately lose your bet, even if the dealer eventually busts later
  • The casino's entire mathematical edge comes from the fact that the player is forced to draw cards and potentially bust before the dealer ever acts
  • Understanding the difference between a Hard 17 and a Soft 17 is critical, as basic strategy dictates entirely different actions for each

Understanding Your Options at the Table


Once you are dealt your first two cards, you have several primary choices to make regarding how to play the hand.


If you are dealt a strong starting hand (like an 11), you can choose to 'Double Down'.


Card TypePoint ValueStrategic Importance
Numbered Cards (2-9)Face Value (2-9 points)Low cards are bad for the dealer; high cards are good for the player
Face Cards (J, Q, K) + 10Exactly 10 pointsMakes up 30% of the deck; always assume the next card is a 10
The Ace1 or 11 points (Player's choice)Creates 'Soft' hands and is required to hit a natural Blackjack

Once you understand how the hands are scored, you can begin memorizing the mathematical charts that tell you exactly when to hit or stand.
