The objective of Blackjack
Beat The Dealer. There are some misconceptions about the objective of the game of blackjack but at the simplest level all you are trying to do is beat the dealer.
How do you beat the dealer?
By drawing a hand value that is higher than the dealer’s hand value
By the dealer drawing a hand value that goes over 21.
How do you lose to the dealer?
Your hand value exceeds 21.
The dealers hand has a greater value than yours at the end of the round
Lets start our Blackjack game
I'm going to bet 10000 cash, just to begin
The game has started and I have drawn a 2 and a 6, you can see that Xymelin's Hand Count: currently is 8. Not a bad start! I haven't won yet because now I have to choose what to do.
If you have drawn more than 17 in the first round, its suggested that you should stand as its a great chance to win.
So we have options 🧨 - Hit (YOU draw another card) ⏬ - Stand (You stand with the current cards) 💯 - Double your bet. [round 1 only]. When you double in first round, you automatically draw 1 card and automatically stand and the game plays out itself.
Doubling your bet is risky! Double can be risked if you have hand count 7-13. If its more, its not recommended!
So lets go back to the game. I have a hand count of 8, and I have decided to hit (🧨 - draw another card)
Got another card! And its a J.
Cards that are A, J, Q, K are a value of 10
So my current Xymelin's Hand Count is 18! This is good! Now I'm going to fold because I have a good reason to believe, I have won! I'm going to stand (⏬ - Stand to end the game and see dealer cards)
Dang! Its a tie. As you can see, the dealer draw up to 4 cards and got the same hand count as Xymelin. This is automatically a tie.
In Blackjack, if its a tie between player and dealer, the money is automatically given back. However this is not in all blackjack versions.
And that's how you play Blackjack, you must win the dealer in better cards.
