Click here to go back to the previous step in case you missed something.
Once your cards have been dealt, you need to know what your cards mean, in other words you have to understand the hand that you have been dealt. A game of online Blackjack can result in the following:
- Lose- Your bet will be taken by the dealer
- Win– You will win as much as you have placed on the bet
- Blackjack– Also known as a natural, this happens when you are holding a 10-point card and an Ace. If the player lands this set of cards, they win 1.5 times their bet.
- Push– This is when both the player and dealer has the same hand value.” This is neither a win or loss resulting in the player keeping their bet.
- Stiff hand– This is a card total that is between 12 and 16 that would make a player go bust if the player takes another hit.
- Soft hand– This is the option of splitting a two card hand and playing the hands separately.
- Soft 17-Any hand that consists of an Ace and a card between 2 and 7
- Bust- When your card total exceeds 21 resulting in a lose
- Standing hand- A hand which has a card total of 17 or more, in this situation a player is more likely to go bust if they accept another hit.
