How to play Black Jack

The dealer gives each player two cards and themself one card up and one card down. The gambler plays against the dealer. The object of the game is to draw cards that add up to 21, or as close to 21 as possible without going over.

Ten's, Jack's, Queen's, and King's count as 10; Aces count as either 1 or 11, as you choose. Other cards play at their face value. You are given a chance to draw additional cards, one at a time, to get closer to 21. If you "bust", (go over 21) the gambler loses. If the gambler’s count is closer to 21 than the dealer's, the player wins. If it is under the dealer's, the gambler loses. A tie is a standoff and results in a "push" (nobody wins)
