You’ll instantly win the hand if you are dealt a natural Blackjack, if not you will need to continue by either taking another card (Hit) or chancing your current hand. If you beat the dealer you will win, if the dealer is closer to the 21 total or you go bust you will lose. A draw will award back your triggering stake, this also prompts the message to ‘push’.
