European
The blackjack variant played in Europe is played with 2 decks. There is the possibility of a split and double-down with 9, 10 or 11 points.
At the beginning of each hand, you decide how much you want to bet; the table limit determines the maximum bet. Each player receives two open cards, the dealer one open and one face down. Then all players have their turn in a clockwise direction and can add as many cards as they like.
The goal is to be closer to a total of 21 than the dealer. Finally, the dealer turns over his second card and then has to take more cards until he has at least 17 points.
If you win, you will receive a 1: 1 payout. If you win by blackjack, the payout is usually 3: 2.
