What is Blackjack?

Blackjack, also known as 21, is a card game that you play against the dealer. You get two cards each round. You can hit, stand, double, split, or give up (if you can) to get a better total than the dealer without going over 21. A natural blackjack (Ace + 10-value) usually pays 3:2, but some tables pay 6:5, which is worse for players. The house edge can be as low as 0.5% with basic strategy, which is why skilled players like blackjack.

Before You Play: Log In to RajaGame

1. Create or log in to your RajaGame account.
2. Complete KYC and wallet funding using supported deposit options.
3. Go to the Casino → Blackjack section.
4. Open the Blackjack game, check the table rules and limits, and then place your first bet.

Objective of Blackjack

The goal of Blackjack is simple:

• Beat the dealer’s hand without going over 21.
• Each player plays against the dealer, not against other players.
• A starting hand of Ace + any 10-value card (10, J, Q, K) is called a “Blackjack” and is usually the best possible hand.

If your total goes above 21, you bust and lose the bet automatically.

How to play Blackjack?

• To play blackjack, you need to sit down at a table and place a bet. The dealer shuffles the cards and gives each player two cards, one face up and one face down. The dealer also gets two cards, one face up and one face down.
• To figure out your hand, count the face cards (J, Q, K) as 10 and the aces as 1 or 11. You can hit (take another card by tapping the table), stand (keep your hand by waving your hand over the cards), double down (double your bet and take one more card, placing your bet next to the original), split (if you have two pairs, add an equal bet to make two hands), or surrender (give up half your bet on bad hands, if allowed).
• The dealer keeps hitting until they get to 17 or more, and then they show their hole card.
• If your total is higher than the dealer’s without busting, you win even money. If you tie, your bets are pushed back. Losing right away is busting.

Cards & Scoring

• Number cards (2–10): count as their face value
• Face cards (J, Q, K): count as 10
• Ace (A): counts as 1 or 11, whichever is better for your hand​

Two important hand types:

• Hard hand: no Ace counted as 11 (for example, 10–7 = hard 17)
• Soft hand: a hand with an Ace counted as 11 (for example, A–6 = soft 17)​

Basic Betting, Shuffle, Cut & Deal

1. Place your bet
   • Choose your chip amount and place it in the betting box before the deal.
   • RajaGame tables show minimum and maximum bet clearly.
2. Shuffle & cut
   • The cards are shuffled and then cut (a player or the system inserts a cut card).
   • Cards are placed in a shoe, and dealing continues until the cut card appears, then the deck is reshuffled.​
3. Initial deal
   • Each player gets two cards face up.
   • The dealer gets one card face up and one face down (the “hole card”) in most games.

Naturals (Blackjack)

• If your first two cards total 21 (Ace + 10-value), you have a Blackjack.
• If you have Blackjack and the dealer does not, you usually get a 3:2 payout on your bet.​
• If both you and the dealer have Blackjack, it’s a push (tie) and your bet is returned.​

Player Options: How the Play Works

After the initial deal, each player acts in turn, starting from the dealer’s left:

1. Stand

• You are happy with your total and take no more cards.
• Usually done by waving your hand horizontally over your cards (in live/real tables).

2. Hit

• You take another card to try to get closer to 21.
• You can hit multiple times until you:
  • Are satisfied and stand, or
  • Go over 21 and bust.

Signal at live tables: tap the table behind your cards.

3. Doubling Down

• Available on your first two cards.
• You double your bet and receive exactly one more card only.
• Common basic rules: double on totals of 9, 10 or 11, depending on dealer’s upcard.

4. Splitting Pairs

• If your first two cards are the same rank (e.g., 8–8, 9–9) you can split:
  • Place an extra bet equal to your original bet.
  • Your pair is split into two separate hands, and each gets a new second card.
• After splitting, you play each hand separately from left to right.

5. Insurance

• If the dealer’s upcard is an Ace, you may be offered Insurance, a side bet up to half your original bet that the dealer has Blackjack.
• If dealer’s hole card is 10, insurance pays 2:1, otherwise the insurance bet loses.

(Strategically, regular players usually avoid insurance; see strategy section.)

6. Surrender (if available)

• In some rule sets, you can surrender:
  • You fold your hand early and lose only half your bet instead of playing out a very bad situation.

Dealer’s Play

After all players act:

• The dealer reveals the hole card.
• The dealer then must follow fixed rules (no choice):
  • Hit on 16 or less
  • Stand on 17 or more (many rules: always stand on hard 17; some vary on soft 17)
• If the dealer busts, all remaining player hands that have not busted win.​

Hand Signals (For Live/Table Play)

In live or video-streaming games, clear signals prevent confusion:

• Hit: tap the table behind your cards
• Stand: wave your hand horizontally over the cards
• Double: place additional chips next to your original bet and show “1 card” signal (or tap once)
• Split: place an equal bet next to your original bet and show two fingers (varies by casino)

RajaGame’s interface will provide buttons for these actions in online play, so no physical signals are needed there

Tips and Tricks to Play Blackjack

• Master basic strategy to minimize house edge: stand on 12-16 if dealer shows 2-6, hit if 7-ace; always split aces and 8s for better odds, never split 10s or 5s.
• Double down on 11 against dealer’s 2-10, or soft 18 (ace+7) versus weak upcards.
• Avoid insurance bets unless card counting, as they favor the house. Manage bankroll by betting 1-2% per hand and set win/loss limits.
• Practice with charts for decisions based on your hand and dealer’s upcard. Focus on probabilities—each hand is independent, so avoid chasing losses.

Basic Blackjack Strategy (Simple Rules to Play Better)

Using basic strategy reduces the house edge to around 0.5% or lower in good-rule games. Here are core guidelines (for typical multi‑deck, dealer-stands-on-17 rules):

When to Hit or Stand (Quick Guidelines)

• Always stand on:
  • Hard 17+
  • Soft 19+ (e.g., A–8, A–9)
• Always hit on:
  • Hard 11 or less (except when doubling is correct)
  • Soft 17 or less (e.g., A–6, A–5) until you reach at least 18

Doubling Down – Strong Spots

Classic basic-strategy rules (may vary slightly by table):

• Total 11: double against any dealer card.
• Total 10: double unless dealer shows 10 or Ace.
• Total 9: double when dealer shows 2–6, otherwise hit.

If rules don’t allow doubling in a given situation, just play it as a normal hit.

Splitting Pairs – General Rules

Well-established guidelines:

• Always split:
  • Aces (A–A)
  • 8s (8–8)
• Never split:
  • 10s or face cards (10–10, K–Q, etc.)
  • 5–5 (better to play as 10 and possibly double)
  • 4–4 in most games
• Usually split:
  • 2–2, 3–3, 7–7 if dealer shows 2–7
  • 6–6 if dealer shows 2–6​

Insurance & Side Bets

• Basic strategy and probability experts strongly recommend not taking insurance in normal play because it increases the house edge in the long run.​
• Treat insurance as a separate, negative‑EV side bet, not protection.

Advanced Strategy Overview

For serious players looking to push their edge further:

1. Rule selection
   • Prefer tables with:
     • 3:2 payout on Blackjack instead of 6:5​
     • Dealer stands on all 17s
     • Doubling allowed on any two cards and after splitting
2. Perfect basic strategy
   • Memorize a full basic strategy chart for the exact rule set you are playing (number of decks, dealer hits/stands on soft 17, etc.).
3. Card counting (for education only)
   • Systems like Hi‑Lo counting track the ratio of high to low cards to adjust bet size and playing decisions.​
   • Requires serious practice and is not necessary for casual play, but is what turns Blackjack into a skill‑based advantage game.
4. Bankroll discipline
   • Use a fixed session bankroll and bet 1–2% of it per hand to manage risk.
   • Avoid chasing losses with big “tilt” bets.

Top Winning Tips & Strategy Checklist

Here are practical, player‑friendly “top strategies” you can present:

• Always learn the rules of the specific table (number of decks, dealer hits/stands on soft 17, surrender available, etc.) before playing.
• Use basic strategy every hand; don’t rely on hunches or “lucky streaks”.
• Double down aggressively in the classic strong spots (9, 10, 11 vs weak dealer cards) to maximize value.
• Always split Aces and 8s, and never split 10s – a made 20 is already a strong hand.
• Avoid insurance and most side bets; they usually carry a higher house edge.
• Choose good rules whenever possible (3:2 payout, dealer stands on 17, double after split).
• Set win and loss limits for each session and stick to them to control risk.
• Play relaxed and focused – tired or emotional play leads to mistakes against basic strategy.

Card Values, Payouts & Table Rules

Card Values

Card	Value
2–10	Face value
J, Q, K	10
Ace	1 or 11 (whichever helps your hand)

Common Payouts

Result	Typical Payout
Blackjack (A + 10)	3:2 (best) or 6:5 (worse)
Regular Win	1:1
Insurance (if dealer shows Ace)	2:1 (generally not recommended)
Push (tie)	Bet returned

Things to Take Care While Playing Blackjack

Avoid common errors like mimicking the dealer (stand on 17, but players have flexibility) or taking insurance (high house edge). Never split 10s, as 20 is strong; don’t stand on 12-16 against dealer’s 7-ace, risking easy dealer wins. Understand ace values to avoid busts on soft hands. Skip side bets like perfect pairs due to lower RTP. Don’t play fatigued or multiple tables, leading to poor decisions. Set time and budget limits to prevent addiction; surrender weak hands (15/16 vs. 10) if available. Always check table rules, like dealer hits soft 17.
