In Blackjack, your objective is to get a hand with a value closer to 21 than the dealer's. If your hand exceeds 21, you "bust" and lose your bet. If the dealer busts, you win.

To calculate the value of your hand, your cards are summed according to the following rules:

• Cards 2 through 10 are worth their face values.

• Jacks, queens and kings are worth 10.

• An ace is worth either 1 or 11, whichever is more advantageous.

• The suits of the cards are of no importance in Blackjack.

You can play up to 3 different hands simultaneously.
