BlackJack Rules

1. Card Values:

   • 2-10: Face value
   • Jack, Queen, King: 10 points
   • Ace: 1 or 11 points

2. Objective: Get a hand value closer to 21 than the dealer without exceeding 21. A hand totaling exactly 21 is a "Blackjack" and wins automatically.

3. Gameplay:

   • Both player and dealer are dealt two cards. Player's cards are face up; the dealer has one card face up and one card face down.
   • The player can choose to "Hit" (take another card) or "Stand" (keep current hand).
   • The dealer reveals the hidden card when the player decides to stand.
   • The hand closest to 21 wins. If a hand exceeds 21, it results in an automatic loss (a bust).
   • If the hand is 21, is an automatic win since the player got a BlackJack.
