If the dealer busts, the player wins, unless they’ve previously busted, too. The dealer generally has to draw cards until getting a combined value of 17 or more (specific rules may vary), regardless of the player’s cards. If you don’t bust, it’s the dealer’s turn. If your cards have a combined value of 22 or more, you ' bust' and automatically lose. You do this by choosing whether to ' hit' (get another card) or ' stand'. The objective of each game round is to obtain a hand that’s higher in value than dealer’s hand, without exceeding the value of 21.
