Each player receives two cards and can 'hit' (take more cards) or 'stand' (keep current hand). Face cards count as 10, aces as 1 or 11. A two-card 21 (ace + ten-value) is a 'blackjack' paying 3:2. With basic strategy, blackjack offers one of the lowest house edges in the casino—as low as 0.5%.","# Blackjack\n\n**Blackjack** stands apart in the casino. It's one of the few games where player decisions genuinely matter, where skill reduces the house edge, and where advantage play is mathematically possible. The goal is simple: beat the dealer by getting closer to 21 without busting. But beneath that simplicity lies a game of probability, strategy, and risk management. Played correctly, blackjack offers better odds than almost any other casino game. Played poorly, those odds evaporate.\n\n## Table of Contents\n\n- [How to Play Blackjack](#how-to-play)\n- [Card Values and Hand Rankings](#card-values)\n- [Player Actions](#actions)\n- [Basic Strategy](#basic-strategy)\n- [House Edge and Rules Variations](#house-edge)\n- [Card Counting Basics](#card-counting)\n- [Common Mistakes](#mistakes)\n\n## How to Play Blackjack {#how-to-play}\n\n### The Objective\n\nBeat the dealer by having a higher hand value without exceeding 21.\n\n### The Deal\n\n1.
