Blackjack is played with a conventional deck of 52 playing cards and suits don’t matter.
2 through 10 count at face value, i.e. a 2 counts as two, a 9 counts as nine.
Face cards (J,Q,K) count as 10.
Ace can count as a 1 or an 11 depending on which value helps the hand the most.
Blackjack Card Values
2-9 count at face value, tens and face cards count as 10, and Aces count as 1 or 11.
The Blackjack Tables’ Layout
Blackjack is usually played on a semicircular table that can accommodate varying numbers of players. The most common tables accommodate 7 players (or seven “spots”) but we’ve seen tables that only allow 5 players and other tables that have 12 spots! The dealer stands behind the table and chip rack and the players sit on the other side.
