The Goal in blackjack is to get closer to 21 points than the dealer without going over. Each card is worth its face value. A 2 is worth 2 points, 3=3, 4=4, and so on. All face cards are worth 10 points and an Ace is worth 11 or 1. The player places their bet then is dealt 2 cards. The dealer is then dealt 2 cards with one down and one up. The player then decides to hit or stand. The player can hit as many times as they like until they go over 21. If the player gets closer to 21 than the dealer they win. If the player goes over 21 they lose.
