Experience cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are worth ten points. Aces are worth one or 11, whichever is preferable. Other cards are represented by their number.
If a gambler and the House tie, it can be called a "push" and no one wins. Ace and ten (Chemin de fer) on the initial 2 cards dealt is an automatic gambler gain at one point five to one, unless the house ties. A gambler may possibly stand at any time.
Wagering The Game of Black jack:
To earn you have to beat the dealer with out going bust. When your cards value more than twenty one, you go bust and you automatically lose. The winner is whomever’s cards total closest to twenty one. You have to 21 by adding up the numbers of the cards.
