Blackjack

General guide to Blackjack gameplay

Blackjack is a card game where players try to beat the dealer without going over 21.

What game is it?

This implementation is classic casino blackjack with house rules defined in locale/config:

• Four standard 52-card decks.

• Dealer stands on soft 17.

• Split is allowed once (when opening two cards match in value).

• Double Down is available after initial deal (and after split when allowed).

• Seven-card Charlie is enabled (7 cards without bust = automatic win).

How to play

1. Place a bet before the betting timer ends.

2. Receive two cards.

3. Choose action:

   • Hit to take another card.

   • Stand to keep your total.

   • Double Down to double bet and take one final card.

   • Split when initial cards are same value.

4. Dealer resolves hand according to dealer rules.

5. Hand is settled.

Payout and settlement basics

• Blackjack (natural 21) pays 3:2.

• Regular win pays 1:1 (even money).

• Push returns your stake.

• Bust (>21) loses the hand.
