Sample Turns

This is the first round of the game. Notice that Player 1 has an initial total of 16, with the ace counting for 11 points. When they pick up another ace, a total of 27 would be a bust; it counts for 1 point, for a total of 17 points.

When Player 1 draws a eight, their total would be 25. Since there is still another ace counting 11 points (they have a “soft hand”), that ace can count for 1 and their total becomes 15. Player 1 decides they have pushed their luck far enough and stands.

Player 2 makes some input errors, but eventually hits on 16 to get a total of 20. After another typo, they stand.

The dealer ends up with 19 points, so player 1 loses their $100 bet. Player 2 wins their. A this point, they should have $900 and $1100, respectively.

In this example, Player 3 has some initial betting problems.

Once that's done, Player 1 gets very lucky with a soft hand and makes 21 before standing. Player 2 wisely stands with the initial 20. Player 3 busts with 22 points.

When the dealer gets 20 as well, it means that we have all three possible outcomes of the hand: Player 1 wins, Player 2 pushes, Player 3 loses. Their totals should now be $1200, $1000, and $700.
