Once you have placed your wager on your hand the game will immediately start. You will receive two cards from the dealer.
These cards are facing up and you can immediately start planning your strategy. If you are lucky enough to receive a blackjack that consist of an ace and a ten value card your hand will automatically stand.
The dealer also receives two cards. One is facing up while the other is facing down. The rules of the game allow the dealer to peek if an ace or a ten card value is shown.
If you manage to win the dealer by hitting a better hand without going bust you win.
