Description

Blackjack allows the player to partake in a virtual game of Black Jack. The player starts with $20 and plays against the bank. Bets can be from 1 to 9 dollars. The player must try to reach a card value of 21 without going over. Casino rules such as insurance betting and splitting the cards don't apply in this simple rendition of the game. You do win if your card value is under 21 with five cards. Cards are shuffled on command, and the player is encouraged to try to count cards.
