In Blackjack, if you win a hand, you receive a payout of 1:1, meaning you get back the same amount as your original bet. If you hit a Blackjack (an ace and a 10-value card as your first two cards), you earn a 3:2 payout, which is a higher reward. If you tie with the dealer, known as a "push," your bet is returned. If the dealer wins or has a Blackjack, you lose your bet.
 
In Blackjack, the payouts are structured as follows:

1. **Winning Hand (Non-Blackjack):** If you win a hand against the dealer without having a Blackjack, you receive a 1:1 payout. This means you get back the amount you bet, plus an equal amount in winnings. For example, if you bet $10, you would receive your original $10 bet back plus an additional $10 in winnings, for a total of $20.

2. **Blackjack (Natural 21):** If you are dealt a Blackjack (an ace and a 10-value card as your first two cards), you receive a higher payout of 3:2. This means if you bet $10, you would receive $15 in winnings, for a total of $25 returned to you (your original $10 bet plus $15 in winnings).

3. **Push (Tie):** In the event of a tie with the dealer, commonly referred to as a "push," your original bet is returned to you without any additional winnings.

4. **Loss:** If the dealer wins the hand or has a Blackjack while you do not, you lose your original bet.

These payouts are essential to understand when playing Blackjack, as they determine how much you stand to win or lose based on the outcome of each hand.
