Playing blackjack is a skill-based game where the objective is to score as many points as possible by playing cards that add up to specific numbers. The game has a fixed number of card decks (52), and each player is dealt two cards face down. The player can either keep the cards or discard them; if they discard the cards, they must replace them with new cards from the deck. The aim of the game is to make as many hands as possible with a positive sum, ie.
hands in which each player’s total card count (including any wildcards) is equal to or greater than the number shown on the blackjack table. At the start of the game, each player bets a set amount of money, and then bets again when they receive their first hand of cards.
The house edge for blackjack is approximately 2%. This means that for every 100 hands played, the house will win an average of 20 hands and lose 80 hands.
Therefore, if you bet $10 per hand and play 500 hands, you would expect to lose $500 overall. However, if you are skilled at blackjack and know how to play correctly, you may be able to win more money than this – depending on your luck!.
