Back to the guide; the blackjack table is chosen, the seat was taken and you are ready to go, wait!
1# Make a bet
First things first, the blackjack game only starts after players make their bets.
2# The Dealer's turn
The dealer deals 2 cards to all players at the table and also two to him/herself, with one card facing up and the other down (this can change in some blackjack variations).
3# Actions
Players must decide if they want to stand (keep their current cards), hit (ask for another card), double down or even split their hand. Depending on the variation the dealer is obliged to stand on a 17 and hit on a soft 16.
4# The winner
The winner is the one achieving 21 or less if the dealer busts (exceed 21 in points). The cards on blackjack game have a face value, with the exception of picture cards which have a value of 10 and the ace, which can be either 1 or 11.
