After all the players have either busted or are satisfied with their hand, the dealer turns over his face-down card. ObjectiveĮvery player who beats the dealer is a winner, regardless of what the other players have. If the player reaches a number that he is satisfied is close enough to 21, he says, “Stand,” to instruct the dealer that he requires no more cards. If any added card sends the value of his hand higher than 21, the player has gone “bust” and he is no longer eligible to be a winner on that particular hand. The player may continue to add cards until he thinks he has a good hand. A player with a point total far less than 21 may ask the dealer for another card by saying, “Hit.” One card is then dealt to the player face-up. Starting with the person to the left of the dealer, each player attempts to make the best possible hand by getting close to 21 points.
