Blackjack Rules - Blackjack Game

There is a set of blackjack rules that must be followed to achieve any kind of success in blackjack. Although they can be found on just about every blackjack site, I will run down the blackjack rules one last time.

To begin the blackjack game, every player must place a wager. As soon as each player has done this, they are dealt their cards. Each player receives two cards, both of which are face-up. The dealer also deals himself two cards, one face up, one face down.

Each player, upon receiving his hand, must decide whether he wants to stand or ask for more cards. The player wants to get the highest valued hand, but at the same time must ensure he does not bust (go over 21).

Playing by standard blackjack rules, there are two ways to win. The options are to either get a hand worth more than the dealer's or to wait the dealer out until he busts. This is possible because the dealer must play by strict set of blackjack rules. If his hand is over 17, he must stand, but if it is 16 or under, he has to hit.
