If both the player and the dealer have the same hand value in blackjack, it results in a "push." In this situation, the player neither wins nor loses; their original bet is returned to them. This outcome typically occurs with totals of 21 or any other equal totals, and it serves as a tie in the game. The push means that the player does not profit from the round but also does not lose their stake.

That's correct! In blackjack, when both the player and the dealer have the same hand value, it results in a push. This ensures that the player neither wins nor loses on that particular hand. Getting a push essentially means that the player's original bet is returned to them, making it a tie or a standoff in the game. It's a neutral outcome where the player doesn't make a profit but also doesn't lose their wager. Pushes often occur with hands totaling 21 or with any other equal hand values. This outcome maintains the balance in the game, preserving the player's stake for the next round.
