Intro

Final Project for ENG 006 at UC Davis. Card game implementation using MATLAB, in our case, Blackjack.

Basic Blackjack Explanation

Goal:

Beat the dealer's hand without going over 21

Card Values:

Cards 2 - 10 worth their number value

Face cards are worth 10 with the exception of the Ace, which can equal 10 or 1.

1. Players make bets
2. Dealer deals two cards to each player and themselves, one dealer card is face up, player hands are hidden
3. Players have four choices: stand, hit, double down, or split
4. Dealer acts last and must hit on 16 or less and stand on 17 through 21
5. Player wins if their hand is higher than dealer's or if they have 21 or less when the dealer busts

Glossary

Bust: Card's value exceeds 21

Stand: Keep your cards and end your turn

Hit: Ask for another card

Double Down: Doubling your bet and recieving another card, only allowed on the first move

Split: Having two of the same card and creating 2 hands, only allowed on the first move

Blackjack: Hand equals 21, recieves 1.5 amount of bet
