When you search the internet, there is certainly no shortage of “how to” guides. You can find anything from “how to open a bottle of wine” to “how to lose weight” to “how to make money.” Some of these can be particularly helpful, and that’s why we present to you “how to play blackjack, ” a guide to mastering one of the most popular casino games in the world. It was just weeks ago that Resorts World unveiled the first electronic blackjack tables and our guests have not stopped playing since.

But before you sit down at the table, be sure to know how to play.

1. Getting a black jack has nothing to do with a clover or spade, it’s about having two cards that total 21. If you get that, you get paid 1.5 times your bet.
2. If you are not lucky enough to hit a black jack with your first two cards, your goal is to equal 21 or to have more points than the dealer without going over 21.
3. If your cards total higher than the dealer without going over 21 you get paid what you bet
4. If your cards total higher than 21 or less than the dealer, you lose your bet.

Easy enough, right? Well there is some blackjack lingo that’s always helpful to know so you can have some fun with the other players at the table who are all trying to beat the dealer and win some money.

Hit: I want another card (Fingers crossed that the card total equals 21)

Stand:I like my card total and don’t want any more cards. (Let’s hope the dealer goes over 21)

Double Down: Double my bet, with one more card. (Risky but fun)

Split:With a matched pair (such as two 3s or two 9s) you can split. Put additional bet down and you get two separate hands. (High stakes hand)

Bust:Card total over 21 (Onto the next hand)

Hot Table: Everyone is winning and the dealer is losing (Let the good times roll!)
