Blackjack is a popular casino game that is played with a deck of 52 cards. In blackjack, the player bets on whether the dealer will hit or stand. The player loses if the dealer hits and wins if the dealer stands.
The basic rule of blackjack is that in order to win, the player must have an even total (two cards of the same rank, like two 7s) plus one more card. If the player has an odd total (one card of each rank, like an 8 and a 9), they lose.
In Las Vegas, blackjack tables typically have minimums of $5 per hand. In order to play at a table with a lower minimum, players must either wager more or put more money down.
