There are a few ways to end a game of blackjack: the player can either bust (have 21 or more points), hit (have a card that totals 18 or less), or tie (have the same number of points as the dealer).
If the player busts, they receive a cash payout based on their bet and any hands they’ve played so far. If the player hits, they receive their bet back plus any additional money earned from the hand (up to a total of their original wager).
If the player ties, they receive their original bet back plus any additional money earned from the hand. .
Some casinos offer “player-friendly” rules that allow players to end a hand in one of two ways: by hitting if they have an Ace and two or more other cards that add up to 16 or more, or by busting if they have an Ace and any other card. These rules are designed to give players an advantage over casino employees who may be biased against them.
Ultimately, it’s up to the dealer whether or not to give the player any additional cards. If the dealer does not wish to give cards, then play will continue until one player either hits or busts.
