Blackjack Basic Rules and Objective

[MillionBoy]

Blackjack, also known as 21, is a popular casino card game. The objective is to beat the dealer by having a hand value closer to 21 without exceeding it. Number cards are worth their face value, face cards (kings, queens, jacks) are worth 10, and aces can be worth 1 or 11, depending on which value benefits the player more.

The basic rules of blackjack are fairly simple. The objective of the game is to get a hand that is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand, without going over 21. The player and the dealer are each dealt two cards, and they can then choose to hit (take another card) or stand (keep their current hand)

In Blackjack, the objective is to beat the dealer by having a hand value closer to 21 than theirs without exceeding 21. Number cards are worth their face value, face cards are worth 10, and an Ace can be worth 1 or 11. Players are dealt two cards and can choose to "hit" (receive another card) or "stand" (keep their current hand).

A "blackjack" is an Ace and a 10-value card, providing an instant win unless the dealer also has a blackjack. If a player goes over 21, they bust and lose the round. The dealer must follow specific rules, usually hitting until their hand is at least 17.

To get a hand value in blackjack that is greater than the dealer's hand without going over 21 is the main objective. A player's hand counts as "bust" when it exceeds 21, which results in an automatic round loss. The dealer is the opponent in this game, not the other players.
