How to Play

Place a bet, then Hit for another card or Stand to hold. Go over 21 and you bust. Beat the dealer's total to win; a two-card 21 pays extra. Double down to double your bet for exactly one more card. Dealer stands on 17.

Tips & Strategy

Always assume the dealer's hidden card is a ten -- it's the most common value. That means when they show 7 or higher, keep hitting until you reach at least 17.

Against a dealer's weak upcard (4, 5 or 6), stand on anything 12 or more and let them risk the bust.

Double down on 11, and on 10 unless the dealer shows a 10 or Ace.

Never chase losses by raising your bet after a bad hand -- the math doesn't care about your last round.
