Picture cards (Jack, Queen, King) each count as 10. An Ace can count as 1 or 11. All number cards have their face value. THE BLACKJACK TABLE The Blackjack table seats up to seven Players on one side, and the Dealer on the other.

How much skill or strategy you use depends on the time and effort you are willing to put into learning these skills. One such skill is card counting-not like by casinos but certainly not illegal.
