4Free Video Blackjack is a very realistic simulation of a video blackjack machine like those found in casinos. The object of the game is to beat the dealer's hand. You can accomplish this by hitting (taking an additional card) until you have a hand as close as possible to 21 (without going over) or by standing (taking no more cards) in the hope that the dealer will wind up with a lesser hand or bust (go over 21). Sometimes it is best to stand with a low hand (as low as 12) because the odds are better that you can win by the dealer busting than by you improving your hand. This is especially true when the dealer's up card is a five or six.
