How to play blackjack is different for each player. The game uses multiple decks and a yellow card near the bottom of the deck indicates the cards are almost at the end and need to be shuffled.
Both the player and the dealer receive one card face-up. The second card, known as the hole card is face down. Players have the opportunity to hit or stand. If the odds are even money, the exception is hitting blackjack, in which the chances are 3-2. If you receive an ace with a 10 or a face card and you win, you get your money back. You can also fold, also known to be refunded. It's called a bust. In black jack, if you bet $10 and win $20, then you're entitled to $25.
