2. The dealer also has two cards, one face Up and one face down.
3. The Goal of the game is to get as close to 21 as possible without going over.
4. Players can hit (take another card) or stand (stay with the cards they have).
5. If a player goes over 21, they BuSt and lose the hand.
6. If the dealer goes over 21, all players still in the hand win.
7. If both the player and the dealer have the same total, it is a push and no one wins or loses.
8. After the initial two cards are dealt, players can double down (double their bet and take one more card) or split (if they have two of the same card, they can split them into two separate hands).
9. Once all players have finished their hands, the dealer reveals their face down card and plays their hand.
10. If the dealer’s total is less than 17, they must hit until they reach 17 or higher.
11. The dealer must stand on 17 or higher.
