A "Blackjack" is a specific hand in the game of Blackjack consisting of an Ace and any 10-point card (10, Jack, Queen, or King), totaling 21 points. This is the best possible hand in the game and is often referred to as a "natural." It differs from a regular win in that a regular win occurs when your hand total is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand, but not necessarily exactly 21. For instance, a hand with a total of 20 could also win against a dealer's hand of 19 or less.
The key difference between a Blackjack and a regular win is the payout. A Blackjack typically pays 3:2, meaning you win one and a half times your bet. In contrast, a regular win usually pays 1:1. Additionally, if both the player and dealer have a Blackjack, it results in a push, meaning the player’s bet is returned, while a regular win results in the player keeping their winnings.
