Black Jack Objective
Despite many years and many variations, but on the premise Blackjack is still the same. Players only need to own cards with a total value of 21 or hold a card with a value higher than the dealer’s card value without going over 21. If either the dealer or player owns a valuable card If the value exceeds 21, it will automatically lose.
If the player has a higher score than the dealer but does not exceed 21, the player wins. And vice versa, the dealer has a card value less than 21 but surpasses the player the dealer wins. When both sides have the same score, no one wins, also called pushing or drawing.

Card And Hand Values
The cards in Blackjack are always marked according to the value they have. For example, the number 8 card is worth 8, the number 5 is worth 5. Particularly the picture cards, Jack, Queen, King always have a value of 10. Especially Ace cards have three types of value 1 , 10 and 11. When the total value of the card is more than 21, the Ace value is 1. The person holding Ace’s value of 11 is called a soft hand, while the owner of Ace’s hand worth 1 is called is have hard hands.
Although each card has the same number and in other cards, the card image (Spades, Clubs, Hearts, and Diamonds) will make the value of the card different. For example, if there are 4 cards with a value of 9, then each picture on the card will determine whether the 9 has a higher or lower value than the other 9 cards on the other cards. However, for Blackjack, the images printed on the card are not considered and the cards with the same number have the same value. So the value of a hand is simply the value of the cards in the hand.
If the player is dealt the first two cards of Ace and one with a value of 10, then it is called Blackjack. The player automatically wins, if the dealer plays the same Blackjack then the two sides tie.
Black Jack Winner
If the player who owns the card has a higher value than the dealer and does not exceed 21 then the player wins. In the event that neither party loses or wins, it is called a stand or push.
