Players are each dealt two cards, look down or up depending on the casino and the table at which you sit. In the U.S., the dealer is also dealt two cards, usually one up (exposed) and one down (hidden). In most other countries, the dealer gets one card face up. The value of cards two through ten is their pip value (2 through 10). Face cards (Jack, Queen, and King) are all worth ten. Aces can be worth one or eleven. A hand’s value is the amount of the card states. Players are allowed to draw additional cards to improve their hands. A hand with an ace estimated as 11 is called “soft” meaning that the hand will not bust by taking an extra card; the value of the ace will become one to prevent the hand from exceeding 21. Otherwise, the hand is “hard”.

Once all the players have made their hands, it is the dealer’s turn. The dealer hand will not be achieved if all players have either busted or received Blackjacks. The dealer then exposes the secret card and have to hit until the cards total 17 or more points. (At most tables the dealer also runs on a “soft” 17, i.e., a hand containing an ace and one or more other tags totaling six.) Players win by not busting and having a total higher than the dealer, or not busting and having the dealer bust, or getting a blackjack without the dealer getting a blackjack. If the player and dealer have the corresponding total (not counting blackjacks), this is called a “push” and the player typically does not lose or win money on that hand. Otherwise, the dealer wins.

Blackjack has many rule variations. Since the 1960s, blackjack has been a high-profile target of advantage players, particularly card counters, who track the profile of cards that exchanged adapt and with their wagers and playing strategies accordingly. Blackjack has inspired other casino games, including Spanish 21 and pontoon.
