The Black Jack Dealer
What are the rules to playing blackjack?
- The object of the game is to get closer to a total point count of 21
than the dealer, without going over. If you get closer than the dealer
(without going over 21) or the dealer goes over 21, you win the amount
of the bet. If the dealer is closer to 21 or you go over 21, you lose
the amount of the bet. If you and the dealer tie, then nobody wins
(this is called a "push"). Each card counts its value (e.g., a six is
six points), with some exceptions. A jack, queen, or king counts ten
points; and an ace can count as either one or eleven points, whichever
is most advantageous. Suits have no significance at all.
