very easy game to pick up with no mind numbing rules that you need to know. To summarize the
game perfectly, it is a comparing game where the players compared their points with the banker,
which is the dealer himself or herself. Each player is being dealt with two cards, the same with
the banker, and the players have the options of either hitting the hands with another card to
increase its score or to stand, which means the players are satisfied with the scores. When you are
hitting your hand with another card, all you have to do is just to add its value to the original value.

power cards, such as those 4s, 5s and 6s are better for the dealer. The higher the concentration of
aces and tens, it gives the players a higher chance of getting blackjacks which usually pay at three to
two ratios unless the dealer himself or herself also has blackjack.
