The Basic and most common list of the Blackjack Player Options looks just like the one below. However, with the introduction of numerous variants of the game, the list of the Blackjack Player Options may change a bit and the blackjack player options themselves might get new look and thus change the player edge.
not to be dealt any extra cards, to keep your hand exactly as it is.
to receive extra card from the dealer. You may hit until you decide to stand or bust.
to double your bet and receive only one extra card and to stand automatically. Usually this blackjack player option is allowed on two first cards only.
in case first two cards are a pair (two nines etc.) you may decide to split them into two separate hands by doubling your bet. Some casinos allow re-splitting to make up to four hands, however re-splitting Aces is forbidden at most.
after player was dealt his first two cards he may decide to forfeit half of his bet by giving up his hand. Early surrender is giving up before the dealer checks for a blackjack, and late surrender is giving up after he checks his hole card. Being one of the less common blackjack player options, this blackjack player option is not present in all the casinos.
Please notice, that the rules of basic blackjack player options vary from one casino to another. Please check the Blackjack Player Options each time you visit a new casino.
