Chemin de Fer Basics – Part 1
The basic premise of the game is to be dealt cards adding up to 21. Every gambler is given two cards. When a blackjack player is given a 9 or lower value card and an Ace they’ve been handed a soft hand. When the blackjack player receives no Ace cards it is referred to as a hard hand. As soon as the cards have been dealt every player at the table, which includes the dealer, every black jack player is given the opportunity to make one of 6 choices:
Taking another card (Hit): When a gambler announces hit me the croupier will give them another card, if the addition of that card causes the total greater than twenty one the gambler will have lost and be excluded from the game, if the card makes the value of the hand to twenty-one the player wins and if the total has not yet achieved twenty-one they’re still in the game.
Keeping the hand you’ve been given: If a player is satisfied with the cards they will hold. As soon as this has happened the croupier will show his or her hand and the gambler who has accumulated twenty-one or the nearest to 21 will acquire a win.
Doubling Down: A player might request to double down which increases the wager by one hundred percent they have laid. Once you have taken this procedure you can only receive 1 additional card. The specifics of doubling down are often specified by the blackjack table or casino game rules so prior to competing make sure you’re familiar with the house rules. If you are competing at a net betting house this is usually very simple.
