Blackjack is a casino game that is typically played with two decks of cards, each of which has 21 cards. The object of the game is to score as many points as possible by taking cards to form a hand that totals 21 or more.
Points are scored based on the rank of the card taken, with face cards worth 1 point, 2 through 10 worth face value plus 1 point, and Aces worth 10 points. The player with the highest score at the end of the game wins.
There is no one definitive answer to the question of what percentage of blackjack games end in a player winning. However, research suggests that somewhere between 54 and 72 percent of all blackjack games result in a player either winning or coming close to winning.
This range reflects the variation in players’ skills as well as the variations in casino rules and strategies. Overall, though, it appears that blackjack is a fairly even game – meaning that the chances of either side prevailing are about even.
