Blackjack
Blackjack, also known as 21, is one of the most popular games in the world.
Blackjack hands are scored by their point total. The hand with the highest total
wins as long as it does not exced 21; a hand with a higher total thaqn 21 is said to bust.
Cards 2 thru 10 are worth their face value, and face cards (jack, quessn , king) are
also worth 10. An ace's value is 11 unless this would cause the player to bust, in which
case it is worth 1. A hand in which an ace's value is counted as 11 is called a soft hand,
because it cannot be busted if the player draws another card.
The goal of each player is to beat the dealer by having the higher, unbusted hand. Note
that if the player busts he loses, even if the dealer also busts. If both the players
and the dealer have the same point value, it is called a 'push' and neither player nor
dealer wins the hand. Each player has an independent game with the dealer, so it is
possible for the dealer to lose to one player, but still beat the other players in the same round.
A two-card hand of 21 (an ace plus a ten-value card) is called a 'blackjack' or a 'natural'.
