Blackjack
Classic 21 — place your bet, get dealt in, and try to beat the dealer without going over. Hit, stand, double down, or split.
How to Play Blackjack
Blackjack (also called 21) is the most popular casino card game in the world. The goal is simple: get a hand value as close to 21 as possible without going over, while beating the dealer's hand. Number cards count at face value, face cards (Jack, Queen, King) count as 10, and Aces count as either 1 or 11 — whichever is better for your hand.
Game Actions
Hit — Draw another card. You can hit as many times as you want, but if your total goes over 21, you bust and lose your bet.
Stand — Keep your current hand and let the dealer play.
Double Down — Double your bet and receive exactly one more card. Available on your first two cards only.
Split — If your first two cards have the same rank, split them into two separate hands. Each hand gets its own bet (matching the original) and its own card.
Dealer Rules
The dealer must hit on 16 or less and stand on 17 or more. Blackjack (an Ace plus a 10-value card dealt on the first two cards) pays 3 to 2. If both you and the dealer have the same total, it is a push and your bet is returned.
