Place your bet: Before the cards are dealt, players must place a bet.If neither the player nor the dealer busts, the player with the highest hand value wins. If the dealer busts, all remaining players win. If a player’s hand exceeds 21, they “bust” and lose the game. The dealer also receives two cards, but only one is face up. Players are dealt two cards and can then choose to “hit” (receive additional cards) or “stand” (keep their current hand). All one needs to do to win is have a higher hand value than the dealer, without going over 21. The game is played with one or more decks of standard playing cards. Each card is worth its face value, with face cards (Jack, Queen, King) worth 10 and Aces worth either 1 or 11. Blackjack is a card game where players aim to get a hand that is closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand, without going over 21.
