1. Hit

Request another card.

2. Stand

Satisfied with hand total-no more cards .

3. Double down

Double your bet. When you double down you will receive only one card.

4. Pair Splitting

Any two identical value cards can be split and played as separate hands. As many additional cards as you wish may be drawn to each split hand except a pair of aces (majority of casino's only allow one draw card to each split ace).

5. Surrender

After receiving the first two cards, a player may surrender. this means giving up one-half of your initial wager and forfeiting the hand.

6. Insurance

When the dealer has an ace showing (that means face up) you can opt for insurance. A  player that makes an insurance wager equal to one half the original bet. you win the insurance bet at a 2 to 1 payoff if the dealer has blackjack. You lose the insurance bet if the dealer does not have a blackjack.
