What Is Blackjack and How Is It Played
Blackjack, also known as "21", is a card game played between the player and the dealer — not against other players. The main goal is straightforward: get a total card value closer to 21 than the dealer's hand, without going over 21 (known as "bust").
Each card has its own value — number cards 2 through 10 carry their face value, face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth 10, and an Ace can count as 1 or 11 depending on the situation. When you receive an Ace and a 10-value card as your first two cards, that is known as a "natural blackjack" — and it pays out at a higher rate.
