| Term |
Definition |
| Bust |
A hand in blackjack that goes over 21. If you bust
you lose. |
| Double |
Allows you to double your initial wager. The bet is
placed after the first two cards are dealt. Only double
your bet when you are reasonably sure you will only need
one more card to win. Your bet will be placed automatically
and you will be dealt one last card. Your hand will always
consist of only three cards when doubling. Also known
as doubling down. |
| Face-up card |
The card in the dealer's hand that is face up for you
to see before you play your hand. Also known as open card
or up card. |
| Hard hand |
Any hand that does not contain an ace or a hand that
contains one or more aces that count as only one point. |
| Hit |
To ask the dealer for another card. |
| Insurance |
A side bet that equals half of the original wager.
Insurance gives you a chance to protect yourself from
the dealer's Blackjack.
If the dealer's card is an ace, there is the possibility
of blackjack. When this happens you will be asked whether
you would like to buy insurance. If you believe the
dealer has blackjack, you can buy insurance to protect
yourself. If the dealer gets blackjack, the insurance
will pay 2:1, which equals your original bet. If you
have insured yourself and the dealer does not obtain
blackjack, then you lose your insurance but retain your
original wager. |
| Natural |
A two-card hand of 21 points, sometimes referred to
as blackjack. |
| Push |
A tie hand between you and the dealer, occurs when you
and the dealer have unbusted hands with the same total
points. |
| Soft hand |
Any hand that contains an ace that can be counted as
11. For example, an ace and a 6 is called a soft 17. |
| Split |
If you are dealt two cards of identical value you can
split them into two new hands of one card each. Each hand
would then be played out in turn. You may only split a
hand once. The wager placed on each new hand will be equal
to the original bet. You may double down on one or both
of the new hands. When aces are split, only one card will
be dealt to each hand. A split hand resulting in blackjack
pays out a ratio of 1:1 rather than the normal 3:2. |
| Stand |
Stand is to be satisfied with your hand and refuse another
card. |
