Hit - If you would like additional cards.
Stand - If you are finished drawing cards.
Bust - If the total of your cards is more than 21, you lose your bet.
Push - If you and the dealer have the same card total of 17 or more, no one wins and your bet is given back to you.
Split - If your first two cards have the same point value, you can divide them into two separate hands by placing a second bet equal to your original bet. It's called "split". You will carry on to draw cards until you complete your hands. You may draw as many cards as you like on each split hand, but if you split two aces, most casinos allow you to receive only one additional card for each ace. If you split two aces and one of your hands totals 21, it is counted as 21 and not blackjack.
Double - Once you are dealt your first two cards and if you think you that an extra card will help you to beat the dealer, you can raise your bet by an amount up to your original bet. It's called "double down". Your wager is doubled, and you are allowed to receive only one more card.
Insurance - Buying insurance gives you the chance to protect your wager, in case the dealer may have blackjack. When buying insurance, place half of your original and if the dealer does not have blackjack, you lose your insurance bet. If the dealer does have blackjack, you'll receive a payout of 2 to 1.
Surrender - When surrender is offered, and if you are not satisfied with the cards you were dealt, you may give them up and lose half of your bet.
