About Blackjack

Objective

Having a higher sum than the dealer's hand.

Card Values

  • Numeric cards (2-10): The value is as indicated by the number shown.
  • Face cards (Jack, Queen, King): Each has a value of 10.
  • Ace: Can be set to either 1 or 11.

Game Flow

  • Deal the cards
    • The player and the dealer are each dealt two cards. The player's cards are both face up, while the dealer's is one face up and the other face down.
  • Player's Choice
    • Hit: Draw another card.
    • Stand: Play with the current hand.
  • Dealer's Turn
    • The dealer turns the face-down cards face up and draws cards until he has 17 or more.
  • Winner Decides
    • If the total hand exceeds 21, then loses on a “bust”.
    • When the dealer busts, the remaining player wins.
    • If the hand is high, then wins.
    • If the hands are the same, then tie.
