After receiving two cards, you must choose whether to hit (take more cards) or stand (take no more cards) in the hopes of beating the dealer, who in turn takes additional cards according to a set of rules. Unlike roulette, where the outcome is solely based on chance, there’s an element of strategy and skill to blackjack - which is perhaps why it remains so popular with casino players.
Simple to learn but challenging to master, the aim of the game is to beat the dealer’s hand with a value closest to 21 without going over.
Blackjack is one of the most widely played casino games in the world.
