Blackjack is a popular casino game found in brick-and-mortar casinos worldwide, as well as online. The game pits a single player against the dealer and is based on the traditional game “21”. Players begin the game by placing a bet on the table, and then each player is dealt two cards face up. The aim of the game is to get as close to 21 as possible without exceeding it. The player is then given the option to hit (take more cards) or stand (stay with their current hand). Depending on the card combinations, the game ends either with the player busting (going over 21) and losing the hand, the dealer busting and the player winning the hand, or the player and dealer both drawing and the higher hand winning.
