🃏 Casino Blackjack

Casino Blackjack is the world’s most popular casino card game, also known as 21. The goal is simple yet exciting: beat the dealer by getting as close to 21 points as possible without going over. Easy to learn, quick to play, and endlessly thrilling—Blackjack is the king of the casino floor.

🎯 Objective

Beat the dealer by making a hand closer to 21 than theirs, or by hitting 21 directly (“Blackjack”) with your first two cards.

📜 Rules of Blackjack

• Cards 2–10 count at face value.
• Face cards (J, Q, K) count as 10.
• Ace counts as either 1 or 11, whichever is better for the hand.
• You start with two cards, and the dealer also has two (one face-up, one face-down).
• Options:
  • Hit – draw another card.
  • Stand – keep your current hand.
  • Double – double your bet and draw one last card.
  • Split – if you get a pair, split into two hands.
  • Insurance – optional side bet if dealer shows an Ace.
• If your hand exceeds 21, you “Bust” and automatically lose.
• The dealer must draw until reaching 17 or higher.

💡 Strategy Tips

• Always hit on 11 or lower.
• Stand on 17 or more (unless soft with Ace).
• Double down on 10 or 11 if the dealer shows a weak card.
• Never take insurance—it’s usually a losing bet.
