Hitting in blackjack means asking for an additional card to improve your hand, while doubling down involves doubling your original bet and receiving only one more card. Hitting allows you to keep drawing cards without changing your wager, while doubling down is a riskier move where you commit more money for the potential of strengthening your hand with just one additional card.

Exactly! Hitting and doubling down are two strategic moves in blackjack that players can make to improve their hands. Hitting is a more conservative approach, allowing players to gradually improve their hand by drawing additional cards without changing their initial bet. On the other hand, doubling down is a more aggressive move where players double their original bet and receive only one more card in the hope of strengthening their hand significantly. Both hitting and doubling down require careful consideration of the current hand, the dealer's upcard, and the overall risk tolerance of the player. Each decision can significantly impact the outcome of the game.
