I suggest you start by describing a very simple game that's not
blackjack. One
player gets dealt cards until he hits 21 or more. 21 is a win, more
is a loss.
Then add a dealer's hand.
Then add face down cards
Then add betting
Then add, erm, insurance?
Finish with the green baize ;)
HTH,

Hey, thanks for the quick feedback. I worked on from 1-6 and will work
on 7 tomorrow. See if this is any better
### 52 cards in deck consist of 2-10 and J, Q, K(which all 3 of them
has value of 10) and A (which has either value of 1 or 11 ) and there
are 3 suits (diamond,clover,heart,
requirements: 7 decks ( 52 X 7 = 364 ) # not sure 6 or 7 decks but
let's just say 7 for now
Player will have $500 and we will call that
bank. Each bet's minimum is $25 and maximum is $500
1. Take 7 decks of cards one big pile and shuffle them
2. Have player cut the deck(must be in 2nd half of deck but cannot be
last 20% of the deck; somewhere between past 50% and before 80%) and
put a marker on it # so it knows where to stop
### The reason, cutting
the deck after cards are shuffled is to make sure players do not know
when the deck ends
### Meaning, if someone
was counting cards(sort of trying to memorize what cards already came
out, they can sort of guess
### as decks are running
out. If you cut the deck, it's harder to guestimate, although counting
cards can still give player bit of advantage; it's still gambling and
probability
--- game starts---
3. Player places the bet which must be greater or equal to minimum
and less or equal to max and also his bank must have that amount in
order to bet
( bank - bet )
4.dealer deals a card
### player and dealer each gets 2 cards. 2nd card that dealer gets
is face down so nobody knows the value of the card
first dealer will deal a face up card to player which we will call
player_total
second, dealer will deal a face up card for dealer himself which we
will call dealer_total
third, dealer will deal a face up card to player which we will call
player_next
fourth dealer will deal a face down card for dealer himself which
we will call dealer_next
5.If player has blackjack( 10 + A ), add 1.5 x bet + bet to his bank
and bet again(go back to step 3)
6.If dealer has A in face up card,
offer insurance
if answer is yes
then player must bet additional 50%
of his current bet ( bet x .5 ) which we will call insurance_money
(bet x .5) = insurance_money
bank - insurance_money ### current
total bank after putting insurance
if answer is no
insurance_money is 0
now check the face down card ( dealer_next )
if dealer_next is 10 and insurance_money is 0
player lose the bet and game over and
go back to step 3 and bet again
if dealer_next is not 10 and insurnace_money is 0
game continues, go to step 7
if dealer_next is 10 and insurance_money is
greater than 0
add back player's bet and insurance
money to his bank
( bank + bet + insurance_money)
game starts over and go back to step
3 and bet again
if dealer_next is NOT 10 and insurance_money is
greater than 0
player loses the insurance_money but
game continues , go to step 7 <---------------------- this was
corrected
