Blackjack may look intimidating at first, but it's actually one of the easiest casino games to pick up. Here's a quick guide to getting started at 365 Huat.
The quick-reference table below shows the recommended action based on your hand total versus the dealer's visible card. This is a summary of the proven Basic Strategy for blackjack.
| Total Hands | Dealer 2–6 | Dealer 7–9 | Dealer 10/Ace |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 and Below | Hit | Hit | Hit |
| 9 | Double | Hit | Hit |
| 10–11 | Double | Double | Hit |
| 12–16 | Stand | Hit | Hit |
| 17 and Above | Stand | Stand | Stand |
| Pair of Aces | Split | Split | Split |
| Pair of 8s | Split | Split | Split |
| 10 Pair | Stand | Stand | Stand |
These tips are gathered from experienced players in the community 365 Huat and can help significantly reduce the house edge.
Two Aces give you the chance to land two Blackjacks or two hands starting from 11 — highly advantageous. Two 8s make 16, the weakest hand in blackjack. Always split both, regardless of the dealer's card.
A pair of 10s gives you 20 — near perfect. Splitting it throws away an already strong hand. A pair of 5s, on the other hand, is better played as a Double Down on a total of 10, not split into two hands each starting from 5.
When your hand totals 11, the chances of hitting 21 with one more card are very high, since there are plenty of 10-value cards in the deck. Doubling Down on 11 is one of the most profitable moves in blackjack according to Basic Strategy.
The Insurance bet is offered when the dealer's up card is an Ace. While it may seem like a smart safety net, statistically Insurance carries a very high house edge (around 6%) and is discouraged by virtually all blackjack strategy experts.
When your hand totals 17 or more — with no Ace, or with an Ace counted as 1 — always Stand. The risk of busting is too high. Let the dealer take that risk, especially when their upcard is weak, such as a 4, 5, or 6.
At 365 Huat, check the table rules before you sit down. A table that pays Blackjack 3:2 is far better than one paying 6:5. Also, tables with fewer decks (1–2 decks) are more favourable to players compared to 6- or 8-deck tables.
Before you start playing, set a maximum loss limit for the session. If you hit that limit, stop and try again tomorrow. Likewise, set a win target — if you've doubled your starting balance, consider walking away and enjoying your winnings.
Before playing with real money, use the demo mode available at 365 Huat to get comfortable with the rules, interface, and Basic Strategy. Practicing without financial pressure helps you build confidence before sitting down at a real-money table.
A Soft Hand contains an Ace counted as 11, such as Ace+6 = Soft 17. A Hard Hand contains no Ace, or an Ace that must be counted as 1. Strategy for Soft Hands differs because you cannot bust with one additional Hit — giving you more flexibility when making decisions.
Blackjack requires discipline. After a few consecutive losses, many players are tempted to drastically increase their bets for "revenge". This is the biggest mistake you can make. Stick to your basic strategy and maintain consistent bet sizes regardless of previous round results.
Among all casino games, blackjack is widely regarded as the most "fair" for players. With the right strategy, the house edge can be reduced to just 0.5% — far lower than slots, which can reach 4%–8%, or Sic Bo, which can exceed 33% on certain bets. At 365 Huat, we believe players deserve games that offer a genuine, worthwhile chance of winning.
The history of blackjack traces back to 17th and 18th century Europe, with a game known as "Vingt-et-Un" (French for twenty-one) first recorded in French casinos. The game later spread to America through French settlers, and the name "Blackjack" emerged when American casinos offered a special bonus for a hand containing a Black Ace and a Black Jack (Jack of Spades or Clubs). Although that original bonus is long gone, the name Blackjack has endured to this day.
What sets blackjack apart from other casino games like roulette or slots is the genuine element of skill. In roulette, every spin is a completely independent event — your decisions have no bearing on the outcome. In slots, there are no strategic decisions to be made at all. But in blackjack, every choice you make — whether to Hit, Stand, Double Down, or Split — directly influences your chances of winning.
Rigorous mathematical research by Roger Baldwin in 1956, later expanded by Ed Thorp in his 1962 book "Beat the Dealer", proved that there is a mathematically optimal play for every possible situation in blackjack. This is what we call "Basic Strategy" — and it is far more than theory, having been validated through millions of computer simulations.
| Variant | Number of Decks | BJ Payout | Surrender | RTP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Blackjack | 6 | 3:2 | 99.5% | |
| European Blackjack | 2 | 3:2 | 99.6% | |
| Blackjack Switch | 6 | 1:1 | 99.9% | |
| Blackjack Surrender | 8 | 3:2 | 99.7% | |
| Perfect Pairs | 6 | 3:2 | 99.2% | |
| VIP Blackjack | 6 | 3:2 | 99.5% |
