Terminology
Doubling – Double your bet and take only one additional card. You can only Double once in Blackjack.
Splitting – You can split the first two cards dealt of any hand if they are of equal point value. When you split, you must place an additional bet that is equal to the Ante. You will now have two hands. You can continue to hit for each hand, unless the split was made for a pair of Aces, in which case you can only hit once for each hand. In mobile you only can split once.
Table Limits – The minimum and maximum amount of money you can bet on a hand.
Ante – Your initial bet.
Hit – Take another card.
Stand – Keep the hand that was dealt.
Bust – Exceed 21 points. Player loses on a bust.
Push – You tie with the dealer and keep your bet.
Rebet – Place the same bet you made on your last hand.
Hard – Hand containing an Ace valued as 1 point. Example: Ace + King + 6 = 17 points.
Soft – Hands containing an Ace valued as 11 points. Example: Ace + 5 = 16 points.
Insurance – Insurance is an additional bet that the dealer has Blackjack. You can purchase insurance when the dealer’s face-up card is an Ace.
