Blackjack

The classic: beat the dealer's hand without going over 21. You against one opponent — no pay table, no other players to out-hand, just your two cards, the dealer's one showing card, and the right decision every time.

How a hand plays out

Bet, then you and the dealer each get two cards — yours both face up, the dealer's one up and one hidden. If the dealer's upcard is an ace, you'll be offered insurance before anything else happens. Then you act: hit for another card, stand, double your bet for exactly one more card, or split a starting pair into two hands. Once every player is done, the dealer flips their hidden card and must hit until reaching 17 or more, standing on any soft 17. Closest to 21 without going over wins; a tie against the dealer's total is a push.
