Playing Blackjack at a live casino involves selecting a table with a betting range that suits your preferences. Once you join a table, you place your bet by dragging chips to the designated area. The dealer then deals two cards to both you and themselves, with your cards face-up and the dealer’s showing one face-up and one face-down. After receiving your cards, you have several options: you can hit (take an additional card), stand (keep your hand), double down (double your bet and receive only one more card), or split (if you have two cards of the same value, you can split them into two hands). Some casinos also allow you to surrender, forfeiting half your bet. Once all players have made their decisions, the dealer reveals their hidden card and follows set rules, usually hitting until they reach 17. If your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer’s, you win, but if you go over 21 or the dealer has a higher total, you lose. A tie with the dealer results in a push, where your bet is returned. After each round, you can place a new bet and continue playing.
