It is impossible to play a game without learning its rules and tactics, even if it is the most simple casino game. Blackjack is always included into the top-lists of the most popular online casino games. But for many years people could play Blackjack only in brick and mortar casinos. Now we have a great opportunity to play any game online. Let’s have a look at the key notions used in online Blackjack.

Hit is the option when you can take one more card needed to make 21. You can use this option just after checking your hand. The card is given by the dealer faced up.

Stand is another option that can be chosen when you do not need any additional cards to make a winning combination. Use Stand when your two cards make a good hand or when one extra card can make you burst.

Split is the option available when you are given two cards different suit but same nomination. In such case you can ask the dealer to give you two more cards and split all of them into 2 hands and play further with two hands.

Double Down is for doubling your initial bet when you know for sure that you can beat the dealer’s hand. After doing that the player receives the third card and does not allowed to take more cards.

Surrender is the function that allows the player stop gambling in case s/he is sure that his/her hand is too bad for winning. It can be done on the condition that the player gets only a half of his/her bet back.

Insurance can be used when the player wants to get protection from any losses. You can bet if the dealer has a blackjack when his/her up card is Ace. The bet is the same as the player’s first bet. In case it wins, the player gets a 2:1 payout. There is a common point of view that insurance is not very profitable.
