What is Blackjack?

Blackjack is a popular casino game that can be played by one or more players. The object of the game is to beat the dealer's hand by either getting 21 points on the player's first two cards, or by taking as many cards as necessary until the player reaches 21 points. Points are counted using a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Aces are worth 1 point, 2s through 10s are worth face value, and a Jack, Queen or King (J,Q,K) are each worth 10 points. An Ace and a 10-point card (a "king") together are called a "blackjack" and are automatically worth 21 points.
