"In this clip we’re going to actually be looking at how a standard hand of 21 is played. So the first thing you need to do is place our minimum bet, now on this table it’s a $5 bet but we’ve placed a $50 bet of course the dealer’s going to deal us two cards face up and him one card face down and one card face up. We have to decide if we’re going to hold on a 18 which we will, the dealer will now check his cards and he has a hard 17, now most casino’s do not hit on a hard 17 so that is an automatic win at a 1 to 1. Let’s take a look at another hand now this hand will be a blackjack notice how it’s played, a $100 bet is placed out of course we dealt an Ace and a Queen which gives us blackjack, regards of what the dealer has he’s going to pay out a three to two, a three to two odds we’re going to be paid $150 on a $100 bet and that’s how a simple hand of blackjack is played."
