About The Game

Blackjack 21

This card game is a digital implementation of the classic casino game Blackjack, also known as 21. The goal is simple: beat the dealer without going over 21.

Game Rules

• Each player starts with two cards. The dealer gets one face-up and one face-down card.
• Number cards (2-10) are worth their face value. Face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth 10 points. Aces can be worth either 1 or 11 points, whichever is better for your hand.
• Players can "Hit" to draw additional cards or "Stand" to keep their current hand.
• If a player's hand exceeds 21 points, they "bust" and lose the round.
• After the player stands, the dealer reveals their face-down card and must hit until their hand totals 17 or more points.
• If the dealer busts, the player wins. Otherwise, the higher point total wins.
• A "Blackjack" (an Ace with a 10, Jack, Queen, or King) pays 3:2 on the player's bet.
• If both the player and dealer have the same point total, it's a "push" (tie) and the bet is returned.
