If neither of them busts, they compare the values of their hands to see who has won. 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. The number of decks might be different in various version of the game, but one to eight decks are generally used.
