The dealer will then take additional cards (normally valued between 1 and 9, but can be higher if the player has a total of 18 or greater) until they either bust, or have a total of 18 or higher that is at least as high as the player's total.
If the player stays, the dealer's hidden card is displayed. This is repeated until the player exceeds 21, a 'bust', for an immediate loss makes a total of exactly 21, a 'CalicoJack', for an immediate win or chooses to stay. The player can then choose to stay, keeping their current total, or hit, drawing a new card valued between 1 and 9. The dealer's first card is hidden while the player takes their actions. The player and the dealer are both dealt two cards, the first valued between 1 and 11, the second between 1 and 9. The objective is to score higher than the dealer without exceeding 21.
