It would be quicker for you if you searched the internet for them instead of asking on here.
Well.. Blackjack the aim of the game is to get the total value of your cards to be as close to 21 as possible. Cards 2-10 are valued by the number, ie a 2 is worth 2. Aces can be 1 or 11 you choose, and jacks, queens and kings are all worth 10. Before you are dealt any cards you have to make a minimum bet and then you are dealt 2 cards and the dealer is dealt 2 too, you can then stick with what you have got, say ‘twist’ meaning you get a card without betting but this card remains on the table and everyone else can see it, say ‘hit’ where you have to add to your minimum bet (you have to put in at least the same amount as the minimum bet or more) and you get this card to keep in your hand so no one else can see it. When you are happy with your total you say stick, you can hit or twist as many times are you want. If you go over the value of 21 then you are declared bust and the dealer wins your bet. The dealer does the same, but without the betting. If you have a greater total than the dealer then the dealer with give you your bet back plus the same amount from his chips. (The amount the dealer gives back can vary from casino to casino). There are special hands like 5 card trick, where if you manage to have 5 cards and you don’t go over the total then you will win even if the dealer has more than the value of your 5 cards.
Poker is much more complicated, there are many varations. I prefer texas hold em but the rules would take me forever to write. So heres a website that explains the rules:
