Blackjack Systems Links to sites selling blackjack systems. Blackjack Play Play is started by selecting an available seat at the table and placing a bet in the corresponding betting circle. If you arrive while a hand is being played, you will not be dealt cards until the next hand. The cutting of the cards rotates from player to player in a clockwise manner after every shuffle. The first card is burned and players are dealt cards starting with the player at first base.
All players receive two initial cards.
At least one of the dealers cards are dealt face up. The down card is known as the hole card. If the dealers up card is an Ace, the dealer will ask if anyone would like to take insurance. Insurance is a bet that the dealers two initial cards have a total value of 21. Insurance bets are up to half of the players original bet.
