Here are the full rules of the game. Blackjack may be played with one to eight decks of 52-card decks. Aces may be counted as 1 or 11 points, 2 to 9 according to pip value, and tens and face cards count as ten points. The value of a hand is the sum of the point values of the individual cards.

CBJN - Current Blackjack News

Current Blackjack News ('CBJN') has been published monthly since 1979.

Every month, CBJN reporters visit casinos throughout the United States to check on the blackjack rules and playing conditions. Five of those reporters split up Las Vegas and visit most every casino in town. Any changes in rules and playing conditions that they find, they email to the CBJN editor, who compiles them into a newsletter that is published electronically late in the afternoon on the 1st of each month, regardless of the day of the week.

Starter Plan

• As mentioned previously, the RTP with standard ‘European’ rules is around 99.63% (if basic strategy is followed) but as will be discussed certain rules changes can affect this number. Interesting Fact: Blackjack played with one deck; the dealer stands on soft 17; doubles are allowed on any first two cards and not after splitting, is a even.
• Looking at the blackjack chart, the blackjack strategy card tells us to stand whenever you have 17 points or more in your hand, regardless of what the dealer is showing for an up card. Reduce the value of your hand by one point to 16, and the chart says to stand when the dealer’s up card is a 6 or lower.

We do not try to screen out casino employees. Membership is a privilege, not a right. If in the judgment of BJ21.com management, Green Chip would be better off if you were not a member, your membership will be declined or revoked.
