The facedown card is called the 'hole card.'
One of the dealer cards is dealt face up. Except, a 'blackjack' is the highest hand, consisting of an ace and any 10-point card, and it outranks all other 21-point hands.Īfter the players have bet, the dealer will give two cards to each player and two cards to himself. The value of a hand is the sum of the point values of the individual cards.
Blackjack may be played with one to eight decks of 52-card decks.Īces may be counted as 1 or 11 points, 2 to 9 according to pip value, and tens and face cards count as ten points.
