About
Blackjack, also known as 21, is one of the most popular card games in the world. It is a staple of casinos everywhere and has been played for centuries, with roots tracing back to 17th century France. The appeal lies in its balance of luck and strategy.
How to Play
Your goal is to beat the dealer by having a hand value closer to 21 without going over. Number cards are worth their face value, face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth 10, and Aces are worth 1 or 11. Press Hit to receive another card or Stand to stick with your current hand. If either you or the dealer exceeds 21 you go bust and lose the round.

Tips
- It's generally better to stand on 17 or higher as the risk of busting outweighs the potential gain.
- If the dealer is showing a 6 or lower, they are likely to bust, so play conservatively and stand on lower totals.
- Aces are powerful - an Ace and any 10-value card gives you Blackjack and an automatic win (unless the dealer also has Blackjack).
