After each player is satisfied with the cards he has asked for, the Dealer turns up his hidden card. If you go over 21 (bust) you lose even if the Dealer goes Bust.If your total is nearer 21 than the Dealer's, you win even money. If not, you can take a 'hit' (draw one or more cards, one at a time). If you are satisfied with the total of your two cards, you can 'stand' (draw no more cards).The Dealer's first card is face up, his second card is face down.
The Ace counts as 1 or 11, whichever you wish. The Jack, Queen, and King count as 10.Blackjack is an Ace and any Ten-value card on the first two cards dealt. The object of the game is to draw cards that add up to 21 or as close to 21 as possible without going over (bust).
