BLACKJACK

Blackjack is a classic casino card game where players compete against the dealer. The goal is to obtain a hand value closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand without exceeding that value.

Players do not compete against each other: everyone tries to beat the dealer. The dealer always draws cards until reaching 17 points and automatically stands once reaching 17 or more.

Objective of the Game

Each player tries to form a hand with a value higher than the dealer’s without exceeding 21.

You win if:

Your hand is higher than the dealer’s.

The dealer exceeds 21.

You have Blackjack (21 with two cards) and the dealer does not.

You lose if:

You exceed 21.

The dealer has a higher hand without exceeding 21.

The dealer has Blackjack and you do not.

Card Values

Cards from 2 to 10 are worth their numeric value.

J, Q, K are worth 10.

Ace is worth 1 or 11, whichever is more advantageous for the hand.

A Blackjack occurs when the first two cards total exactly 21 (an Ace + a 10-value card).

Game Flow

All players place their bets.

Each player receives two face-up cards.

The dealer receives two cards (usually one face up and one face down).

Each player takes their turn.

The dealer reveals their hidden card and plays according to dealer rules.
