You can ask to double whilst playing, this will award you 1 card with the bet value doubled. The dealer will continue until their hand is worth 17 or more. If you have a hand worth more than 21 – you will have bust and its game over for you. Take a look at your cards and if you like what you see, you stand – if you need another card, you hit – this will see the dealer give you another card. Aces are worth 1 or 11 – whichever suits your hand, the face cards of 10, J, Q and K are all worth 10 and the number cards from 2 to 9 are at face value. Prior to the game commencing, every player at the table will be dealt 2 cards from the dealer’s deck of cards – one of the dealer’s cards will be face up whilst the other is face down until the end of the game.
