Blackjack

Blackjack uses decks of 52 cards. Blackjack players do not compete against each other. The game is a comparing card game where each player competes against the dealer. The object of the game is to win money by creating card totals higher than those of the dealer's hand but not exceeding 21, or by stopping at a total in the hope that the dealer will bust. Number cards count as their number, the jack, queen, and king count as 10, and aces count as either 1 or 11 depending on whether or not counting it as 11 would cause a bust. If a player exceeds 21 points, they bust and automatically lose. A total of 21 on the starting two cards is called a blackjack and is the strongest hand.
