Blackjack is a casino game that is played with a deck of 52 cards. Players aim to get as close to 21 points as possible by playing cards until they either reach or tie the total value of the card played (plus any additional cards drawn).
At that point, the player either takes another turn or the dealer proceeds to deal the next card.
The goal of match play is to determine whether you have an Ace, 2, 3, or 4. If so, you must play another card and hope that the dealer also has one of those values.
If not, then you can either take your original turn or draw another card. If you do not have one of those values and the dealer does, then you lose the hand (and any money you may have wagered).
In order for match play to work correctly, both players must accurately anticipate what cards will be dealt next. This is done by counting down from 10 in your head (or from whatever number is displayed on the machine).
Once each player has determined their first two cards (the face value and suit), they can then start matching (playing other cards that add up to) the total shown on their second card. For example, if your first card was an Ace and your second card was a Two of Hearts, then you would need to play a Three of Spades to make the total 21 points.
