Blackjack

Blackjack is a casino card game where the player is trying to beat the dealer by getting a hand value closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. If the player goes over 21, he busts, which means he loses immediately no matter what happens with the dealer. In Blackjack, the number cards are all worth their face value, all face cards have a value of 10, and an Ace can either be worth 1 or 11. When a player gets a value of 21 from the first two cards this is called a 'Blackjack' and the player typically wins a 3:2 payout for getting Blackjack.
