Command Line Single-player game of Blackjack

General Info

Command Line Single-player game of Blackjack loosely following the structure/rules outlined in this YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyoh-Ku9TCI).

The game consists of two rounds. In the first round, Player makes an initial bet and then two cards are dealt to the Player along with two cards being dealt to the Dealer with the second card face down/not yet revealed. In the last round, Player is presented with two options: hit or stay. When Player chooses hit, they are dealt another card by the Dealer. When Player chooses stay, they are deciding to not draw another card so the second card of the Dealer is revealed/accounted for. If the Dealer score is less than 16, they are required to draw another card until their score is greater than 16. Player score and Dealer score are then compared with the higher score winning.

At anytime during game play:

• If Player or Dealer score is greater than 21 (Blackjack), they bust, other entity wins and the game is over.
• If Player or Dealer score is equal to 21 (Blackjack), they win, other entity loses and the game is over.

If Player wins at Blackjack, they earn 2x their initial bet.

At the end of each game, the Player is asked if they would like to play again.
