Blackjack is a casino game where a player tries to beat the dealer by guessing the number of cards that will be drawn before the dealer. The best way to do this is to calculate what is called the “blackjack score” – this is a total of points earned for each hand, including any natural (straight) or artificial (flush) cards that are scored.
The most common blackjack hands are simple 21 (3 cards), 22 (2 cards), and 23 (1 card). In these hands, the player gets 1 point for each ace through two, and 0 points for any three-card combination other than a natural.
For example, if the first card is an ace and the second card is a two, the player would get 2 points and would be considered ahead in the game. If the first card is a two and the second card is a three, the player would get 1 point and would be considered behind in the game.
If the first card is a one, two or three, and another card is drawn that would give another hand combination that would also be a 21 (3 cards), 22 (2 cards), or 23 (1 card), then that new hand combination would be added to the player’s blackjack score. For example, if someone had a blackjack of 21 (3 cards) with an Ace showing and was dealt another two as their second card, their blackjack score would now be 22 (2 cards).
So what does 777 mean in blackjack? In most cases it simply means that you are playing against someone with an extremely high blackjack score – in other words, you’re going to have a very difficult time winning!.
