Blackjack is a popular card game played in casinos worldwide, known for its simple yet strategic rules. The objective is to beat the dealer by having a hand value closer to 21 without exceeding it. Each player starts with two cards, and they can choose to 'hit' for additional cards or 'stand' to keep their current hand.

In Blackjack, card values are straightforward: cards 2 through 10 hold their face value, while face cards (Jacks, Queens, Kings) count as 10, and Aces can be worth either 1 or 11, depending on which value benefits the hand more. Players must make strategic decisions based on their own hand value and the dealer's visible card, balancing the risk of busting against the potential for a strong hand.

Additionally, players should be aware of the various betting options available, including doubling down, splitting pairs, and insurance bets. Understanding these Blackjack rules not only enhances gameplay but also improves your chances of winning while providing an engaging experience at the tables.
