In blackjack, bust refers to a situation where a player or the dealer exceeds a total hand value of 21. When a player busts, they automatically lose the round, regardless of the dealer's hand. It's a critical concept in the game, as managing one's hand value to avoid busting while trying to get as close to 21 as possible is a key element of strategy.
