Blackjack is one of the games introduced on POKER Maid CASINO Jupiter OSAKA’s official website. In its standard form, each player compares a hand with the dealer, rather than competing against the other visitors’ hands. Begin with card values and the order of a round; those basics make the staff’s explanation much easier to follow.

Before you begin
  • Number cards keep their value; J, Q and K count as 10.
  • An ace can count as 1 or 11.
  • Hit takes a card; stand ends your drawing.
01

Learn the total before the terminology

Cards from 2 through 10 use their printed number. Picture cards count as 10. An ace is counted as 11 when that keeps the hand at 21 or below, and can count as 1 when needed. A total over 21 is called a bust.

For example, A and 6 can be counted as 17 or 7. Add a 10 and the usable total becomes 17, because the ace now counts as 1. This flexibility is why an ace hand needs a little more attention than a simple addition of printed numbers.

See it clearly

An ace changes how the total is counted

A♠6♥
11 + 6 = 17The ace can count as 11.
→
A♠6♥10♣
1 + 6 + 10 = 17The ace now counts as 1.
02

Separate your turn from the dealer’s turn

The player normally has an opportunity to request another card, called a hit, or keep the current hand, called a stand. The dealer completes a hand according to the table’s rules after the players’ decisions. The exact dealing and handling procedure should be explained before you begin.

Other choices and the dealer’s treatment of certain ace totals can differ between tables. This introduction explains the vocabulary, not a promise that every variation or action is available at POKER Maid CASINO Jupiter OSAKA. Ask which choices apply to your round.

03

A useful first-round checklist

Before cards are dealt, tell the staff that you are learning and ask how to signal an action. Once the round begins, keep track of your own total and wait until the action reaches you. You do not need to learn a whole strategy chart to understand what the table is doing.

The illustration uses ordinary cards to explain counting; it is not a photograph of a POKER Maid CASINO Jupiter OSAKA deal or advice on the best action. If you would rather begin with a different game, the roulette and baccarat guides offer another way into the same visit.
