Blackjack is a casino game that is popular in many parts of the world. The object of the game is to score as many points as possible by drawing cards and making correct bets.
The player with the highest score at the end of the game wins.
The standard rules of blackjack are simple. The player starts by betting one or more cards face down. Then, the dealer drAWS one card and either leaves it face up or puts it in the discard pile. The next card is then drawn and added to either player’s hand, with any new bets being placed on this card. If the next card is a ten, then the player can choose to “stand” (keep) the current hand or “hit” (put) another card.
If the next card is a Jack or Queen, then the player must hit and add another card to his or her hand. If the next card is an Ace, then the player can choose to hit again, stand, or double down (i.e., put another bet on both hands). If a player doubles down and gets a two-card total of thirteen or more (a “natural”), then he or she wins the hand. If not, then the other player either stands or loses whatever bet was placed on that particular hand.
