The main premise of the game is to be assigned cards totaling up to 21. Each twenty-one player is dealt two cards. When a blackjack player is dealt a nine or less and an Ace they've been dealt a soft hand. When the blackjack player is dealt no Ace cards it is called as a hard hand. Once the cards have been dealt every player at the blackjack table, including the dealer, every player is provided the opportunity to make 1 of six decisions:

Taking another card (Hit): When a blackjack player says "hit me" the dealer will deal them another card, if the adding of that card causes the value of the hand to exceed twenty one the blackjack player will have lost and be excluded from the game, if the card makes the value of the hand to 21 the player is the winner and if the total hasn't yet reached twenty-one they are still in the game.

Keeping the hand you've been given: If a player is satisfied with the cards they'll stay. As soon as this has happened the dealer will display his/her cards and the blackjack player who has accumulated twenty one or the closet to twenty one will come away with a win.

Doubling Down: A black jack player may ask to double down which doubles the bet they have placed. Once you have taken this action you can only receive 1 additional card. The specifics of doubling down are usually specified by the table or casino game rules so prior to competing make certain you are comfortable with the house established rules. If you're betting at an online betting house this is normally very simple.

Watch for part two.
