In Blackjack a player competes against the Dealer
Blackjack, also known as twenty-one, is one of the most popular casino card games in the world.
Blackjack's precursor was vingt-et-un ("twenty-one"), which originated in French casinos around 1700.

In Blackjack a player competes against the Dealer.
The goal of the game for a player is to beat the Dealer's hand by either getting a better hand without exceeding 21 or by the Dealer's hand going bust (going over 21).
Both the player and the Dealer are dealt two cards, and from there, the player may request as many cards as he wants, as long as he doesn’t exceed the value of 21.
After the player finishes with his hand, the same process occurs to the Dealer’s hand, after which the two hands are compared, bets paid or collected.
A Blackjack is a total of 21, when a hand contains an Ace and any ten-valued card (Jack, King, Queen or Ten), but only in case these two cards are the first two cards dealt to a player or Dealer.
Blackjack hands are scored by their point total. In Blackjack, cards are valued in the following way:
* An Ace can be counted as either 1 or 11.
* The cards from 2 through 9 have their face values.
* 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10
You are allowed to bet on up to three hands, placing bets on central, right and left boxes, correspondingly.
To place a bet, use betting chips found at the bottom right part of the table.
To select a chip, click the desired one with the left mouse button. You may need several chips to reach the desired bet amount; in this case the stack of chips will be formed on the betting area.
A Blackjack game can have three possible results:
Win – A player wins if his hand total is greater than the Dealer’s hand total, without busting (going over 21). WIN indicator appears near the hand.
Lose – The player loses if his hand total is less than the Dealer’s, or if the hand busts. BUST indicator appears next to the corresponding hand.
Push – Push is a situation where both the player’s hand and the dealer’s hand are of equal value. PUSH indicator appears next to the player’s hand.
