Blackjack rules IV

September 29th, 2008

The process of making a bet in a blackjack game is very simple. There is a circle or a box on the game table which acts as the pot where the bet has to be placed in. generally the bet amount is placed inside the circle as a single stack of chips before each hand of play starts. In case, a player is betting with chips of varied denomination, the larger value chips are to be placed at the bottom of the stack and the lowest value chip on top. The player cannot touch the bet amount he has put in the circle once he has received his cards. If he wishes to ascertain the bet size so that he can double or split it, the dealer counts the chips and tells the amount to the player.

When one hand of play is over, the dealer goes up to each individual players in turn and hand them the payout if they have won and take away the chips from those who have lost. A player can take away his bet amount from the circle once he has been paid and place a new bet amount for the next hand. However, if he wants to continue playing with his winnings, his new bet including his profits must form a single chip stack.

When one wants to quit playing the game altogether, he can cash in his chip stack by taking it to the cashier who will pay the requisite dough. An important action before a player goes to cash in is the coloring up of the chips. So, a dealer can take away the smaller value chips from the player and give him equivalent amount of larger denomination chips. This helps in handling and managing chips better and anytime between the hands, a player can exchange his chips by coloring them up and get a smaller chip stack that can be used either for playing more games at another game table or for cashing in from the cashier.
