Rules of Blackjack

Blackjack is a card game where the objective is to have a hand value closest to 21 without going over. Here's a brief overview of the rules:

Card Values:

Number cards (2-10) are worth their face value 💸. Face cards (Jacks, Queens, Kings) are each worth 10 points 🏆. Aces can be worth 1 or 11 points, depending on which value benefits the hand more 🎱.

The Deal:

Each player, including the dealer, starts with two cards 🎴. One of the dealer's cards is facedown 👀.

Player's Turn:

Players decide whether to "hit" (take another card) 👈 or "stand" (keep their current hand) 👍. If a player's hand exceeds 21, they "bust" and lose the round 😠.

Dealer's Turn:

The dealer reveals their facedown card 👤. Dealers must hit until their hand totals 17 or more 🔢.

Winning the Game:

If the dealer busts, any player who didn't bust wins 🏆. If the dealer doesn't bust, then any player with a higher hand value than the dealer wins 🥇. If a player's hand value equals the dealer's, it's a "push" and no money changes hands 👌.
