Play Online Blackjack - Basic Playing Norms
Online blackjack game starts with the dealing of cards:
1.The dealer receives 2 cards, and
2.Each player also receives 2 cards

Cards of each player is played "face up" but in case of the dealer one of the card remains "face up" and the other "face down".

In any opening deal, the best hand is the one having one card of ace along with a card of 10 points. This combination of card is known as "twenty-one" or "blackjack". If a player possesses this hand then he/she automatically wins the game. But if the same combination of card is also possessed by the dealer along with the player then player gets a "push". Now, if the dealer possesses a "blackjack" combination of card and at the same time any player in the online blackjack game doesn't possess the combination then the player loses immediately.
