Blackjack is a casino game that involves two players, the dealer, and a deck of 52 playing cards. The object of the game is to score as close to 21 as possible, by taking cards that add up to 21 and avoiding cards that add up to 10.
There are two basic ways to play blackjack: with a standard deck, or with a deck of jokers. In either case, the player starts by splitting the deck evenly between them. They then select one card at a time, and if it’s equal to or more than the current card on the table, they keep the card and set it aside.
If it’s less than the current card, they discard it and take another card from the deck. The goal is to get as close to 21 as possible without going over.
The strategy for blackjack depends on a number of factors, including the number of decks in use (two or three), how many hands are being played, and what kind of hand is being played (straight, flush, full house, etc.).
But one thing that always remains constant is that you can never count on getting an edge in blackjack – no matter how good your strategy may be.
