Definition & Bedeutung von "blackjack"

What is "blackjack"?

Blackjack is a popular card game often played in casinos. The goal is to have a hand value as close to 21 as possible without going over. Players are dealt two cards, and the value of the cards is determined by their face value, with face cards, king, queen, jack, worth 10 points and aces worth either 1 or 11 points, depending on what is more favorable for the player. Players can choose to "hit," receive another card, or "stand," keep their current hand. The game is typically played against a dealer, and the dealer must follow specific rules on when to hit or stand. The player wins if their hand is closer to 21 than the dealer's, or if the dealer busts by going over 21.
