A blackjack is a card game that is typically played by two people. The object of the game is to score as many points as possible by making cards to equal 21.
The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
To play, each player arranges their cards face down in front of them. The dealer deals two cards face up to each player and sets the remaining cards facedown in the middle of the table.
The dealer then flips over one of the face-up cards and sets it next to the other card. This card is now known as the “upcard.” .
The player with the upcard can either keep both of their cards or discard one of them. If they keep both cards, they add that number to their current total, and if they discard one card, they add that number to their current total plus 1.
The dealer then flips over another card and sets it next to the first card. This card is now known as the “downcard.”
The player with the downcard can either keep both of their cards or discard one of them. If they keep both cards, they subtract that number from their current total, and if they discard one card, they subtract that number from their current total plus 1. This card is now known as the “jackpot” or “hole.”
If a player has a total of 21 when playing with only two cards, they are said to have hit on blackjack and are awarded a point. If a player has a total greater than 21 but less than 22, they are said to have hit on blackjack and are awarded two points.
If a player has a total greater than 22, they are said to have bust on blackjack and are not awarded any points. .
Players continue playing until one player has either hit on blackjack or busts on blackjack (has no more legal numbers). At this point, that player is declared the winner and collects all of their bet money along with any additional winnings that may have been generated during play (including any jackpots).
