Blackjack

Blackjack, (also called 21), is the most broadly played casino banking game world-wide. You do not play blackjack against any other players, but rather one on one against the dealer (who is playing for the house). The object of blackjack is to reach a total of 21 points, or to score a point value higher than the dealer without going over 21 points. During the course of the game both the player and dealer are dealt an initial two card hand, after which, depending on their point value, they may choose to hit (taking another card), or stand (keeping the cards they have as their final point total without taking additional cards). If play results in either the dealer or the player exceeding 21 points, they have gone bust, and automatically lose the game. If both players have a final point total that is under 21, then the player whose point value is closer to 21 is declared the winner.
