Blackjack Slang

Here are a few blackjack slang that you may find useful while at an online casino or land-based.

Blackjack – If the first two cards dealt to you consist of an ace and a 10 or any picture card the hand is a perfect one – a “blackjack” – often called a natural. Online gambling can be big fun. Have you tried it???

Hard and Soft Hands – Hands that do not contain an ace are known as hard hands, and conversely any hand that includes an ace that can still be valued at 1 or 11 is called a soft hand.

Breaking or Stiff Hand – Any hard hand valued between 12 and 16 is known as a breaking or stiff hand.

Standing – Standing is the act of refusing any additional cards. The player always has the option of standing at any time. Not like online poker eh?

Hitting – If you feel that you require additional cards to improve your hands total, you may draw one or more cards, as long as you go over 21 (breaking).

Splitting Pairs – When the first two cards you receive are of equal value, you may elect to split them and play each as a separate hand, drawing to each until you are satisfied or break.
