Blackjack, one of the most popular casino games in Red Dead Redemption 2, is available in the game after the player completes a side mission. The mission requires the player to find and recover a deck of blackjack cards that has been stolen by a gang.
After recovering the deck, the player can find blackjack tables in various towns and casinos.
The game offers a basic version of blackjack that is similar to the game that is played at many casinos. The player has four cards, which they can either discard or keep. If the player has an Ace, two cards totaling three or more are considered high card and give them a bonus of 10 points.
If the player has any other card, they receive no bonus points and their hand is considered just as strong as if they had not kept any cards. The goal of the game is to receive as close to 21 points as possible, which is equivalent to winning money in a real casino.
Players can win or lose money in blackjack depending on how well they play. The game is not easy though and it takes some practice to get good at it.
If players want to try their hand at blackjack in Red Dead Redemption 2, they should first complete the side mission that requires them to find and recover the blackjack deck.
