Blackjack can be played with one to eight ordinary decks of cards. Cards of
rank 2 through 10 are scored according to their face value. All face cards
are 10 points.

Aces are semi-wild and can be worth either 1 or 11 points. The highest hand
in blackjack is an ace and any 10-point card and is called a blackjack. A
winning blackjack pays 3:2. If both player and dealer have a blackjack the
bet is a push.

Aside from a blackjack a winning hand pays even money. The player wins if
his hand has more points than the dealer, without going over 21. Thus a
21-point hand is the highest and is why the game is sometimes called 21.

If either the player or dealer go over 21 it is called a break or bust and
automatically loses. If both the player and dealer bust the player loses,
where lies the house advantage. If the player and dealer tie the bet is a
push.
