What are the rules for Blackjack?

The basic rules are, you get two cards and the dealer gets two cards. Whichever hand is closer to 21 without going over, wins. After you get your first two cards, you can take additional cards if you choose, until you decide to stop, or until you "bust" which means you go over 21.

What is called a hard 13 in blackjack card game?

A hard 13 is something like an A,4,8. "Hard" means that you can no longer use the Ace as an 11, it must be used as a 1. Hard hands can potentially bust if you take a hit.

A soft 13 would be a situation where the Ace could still be used as either a 1 or an 11. An example would be A,2. This hand cannot bust when taking a hit.

What is the probability of the dealer busting in Blackjack?

Unfortunately, this all depends on what the deck is like (which cards have passed already), and what the up card is. There is no single answer which will work for an answer. However the greatest chance for the dealer to bust is when the dealer is showing a 4-5-6. The least chance is when they are showing a 9-10-A.

What is the probability of pulling 7 spades in a row from a deck of 52 cards?

The answer is 8,648,640 in 674,274,182,400 or approximately 0.128%.

To pull seven spades in a row from a deck of 52 cards may be translated as follows:

In a deck of 52 cards there are 13 spades, so 13 chances to pull a spade or 13/52.

After pulling one spade, there are 12 spades left and 51 cards left, so 12 chances to pull a spade or 12 / 51.

After pulling the second spade, there are 11 spades left and 50 cards left, so 11 chances to pull a spade or 11 / 50.

Continuing the above logic to the natural conclusion, we get the following multipliers:

13 / 52 * 12 / 51 * 11 / 50 * 10 / 49 * 9 / 48 * 8 / 47 * 7 / 46

which is equal to 8,648,640 / 674,274,182,400 or approximately 0.128%.

What is the probability of being dealt a Blackjack?

When the deck is full, this probability is 4/52 (the probability of getting one of 4 aces) times 16/51 (the probability of getting one of 16 kings, queens, jacks, or tens) times 2 (the number of orders in which you could get these cards: ace first, or ace second). This comes out to 32/663, or about 4.83%. Of course, this probability changes as the game progresses: it decreases when any of the tens, jacks, queens, kings, or aces get discarded, but increases when other cards get discarded. This change is unpredictable, but its expected value is 0; this is a complicated concept to explain, but it means that on average, the probability will go up as much as it goes down. Also, the probability is still 32/663 at any point in the game if you have no information whatsoever about what cards came up before: if you forgot every card you saw, or if you just joined the game.

What are the odds in Blackjack?

Blackjack Pairs and Payout Odds

There are 3 variations of pairs and payout:

1. Mixed pair is made up of 1 red suited card and 1 black suited card.

Example: 2 of spades + 2 of diamond

2. Colored pair is made up of 2 same cards of the same color, however, they are different in suits.

Example: 6 of diamonds + 6 of hearts

3. Perfect pair an exact pair.

Example: K of hearts + K of heart

Note:

In perfect pair rules, player may place a perfect pairs bet on any box on which the player has placed a Blackjack bet. Bet must be placed prior with any cards in the round of play that are dealt. If the perfect pair wager wins, the first 2 cards are dealt to the player that holds a pair and loses if its not.

How many decks of cards are used for blackjack in casinos?

It depends on the blackjack variation that you are playing -- it can be played with as few as 1 deck and as many as 8 decks. Since- and double-deck games are dealt by hand, while games with 4, 6, and 8 decks are dealt from a shoe.

In general, the higher the number of decks that are used corresponds to more liberal betting options available to a player. For example, in a single-deck game, players can double on 9, 10, or 11 only, while in an 8 deck game, the player can double on any two cards.

Also, many casinos have moved to paying 6-5 for a single-deck blackjack, while continuing to pay 3-2 for a blackjack from a 4, 6, or 8 deck game.
