Blackjack is a casino game that has a standard deck of 52 cards. The object of the game is to accumulate as many points as possible by selecting cards that add up to 21 or less.
The player with the most points at the end of the hand wins the hand.
There are several ways to win blackjack. The most common way to win is to get a “blackjack,” which is a hand where the player has 21 or more points.
A blackjack is also a winning hand if the player has an Ace and any other card that totals 10 or more. A player can also win by getting two cards that total 21, or by getting a pair of cards that total 11.
There are several ways to lose blackjack. The most common way to lose is by getting a “push,” which is a hand where the player has less than 21 points.
A push also occurs if the player has an Ace and any other card that totals 10 or more, but not if the player has two cards that total 21. Another way to lose blackjack is to get two cards that total 18 or less, or if the player gets two cards that total 17 and one card that totals 18 or more.
