Blackjack is a card game that is played in casinos, typically using two decks of cards. The object of the game is to score as many points as possible by taking cards that add up to 21, while avoiding cards that add up to 10.
The player either wins money or loses money depending on the outcome of the hand.
There are several variations of blackjack, including European blackjack, American blackjack, and French blackjack. In all variations, the player is dealt two cards face down, and then must decide which card to reveal (the “upcard”). If the revealed card is higher than the player’s original card, the player may either keep the original card or replace it with the revealed card and draw another card.
If the revealed card is lower than the player’s original card, the player must lose the original card and draw another card. Blackjack is considered a form of gambling and can be addictive.
