Blackjack Game Rules

Card Values:

  • Number cards (2-10) are worth their face value.
  • Face cards (King, Queen, Jack) are worth 10 points.
  • Aces can be worth 1 or 11 points, depending on what benefits the player.

Objective:

  • The goal is to have a hand value higher than the dealer's without exceeding 21.

Gameplay:

  • Each player is dealt two cards face up. The dealer receives one card face up and one face down.
  • Players can choose to hit (take an additional card) or stand (keep their current hand).

Winning:

  • A player wins by having a hand total higher than the dealer's without busting or if the dealer busts.
  • If the player or dealer reaches exactly 21 with the initial two cards (Ace + 10-point card), it’s called a "Blackjack" and wins immediately unless both have it, which results in a tie.

Ties:

  • If both the player and dealer have hands of equal value (without busting), the round is a push, and no one wins or loses.

Special Moves:

  • Each player is dealt two cards face up. The dealer receives one card face up and one face down.
