Playing Blackjack may seem daunting at first, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes an exhilarating experience. You start by placing your bet, and then both you and the dealer are dealt two cards each. The value of numbered cards corresponds to their face value while face cards (King, Queen, Jack) are worth ten points each. The Ace can be counted as either one or eleven points based on what benefits your hand.
Now comes the exciting part - deciding whether to hit or stand! Hitting means requesting another card from the dealer to improve your hand's total value. If you go over 21 with subsequent hits, it's called "busting" and results in an automatic loss. On the other hand, standing means keeping your current hand without receiving any additional cards.
