How to Play Blackjack

Blackjack is a comparing card game against the dealer. On FreeTableGames you practice with play chips that have no cash value — never real money.

Card values

Basic flow

  1. Place a play-chip wager.
  2. Receive two cards; the dealer shows one card in most rulesets.
  3. Hit to take another card or stand to keep your total.
  4. Double or split when the rules allow.
  5. Beat the dealer without going over 21.
