• Face cards (Jack, Queen, King): Each worth 10 points.
• Ace: Can be counted as either 1 or 11 points, whichever is more advantageous to the player without exceeding 21.

Here's a summary:

How to Play

To play the Blackjack game step by step, follow these instructions:

1. Start the Game: Run the Python script blackjack.py in your terminal or command prompt. You can do this by navigating to the directory where the script is located and typing python blackjack.py.

2. Game Setup: Once the game starts, you'll see the initial setup, including your current hand and the dealer's visible card. Follow the prompts to decide whether you want to hit (take another card) or stand (keep your current hand).

3. Make Your Move: If you choose to hit, you'll receive another card. If you choose to stand, you'll keep your current hand. Keep making moves until you're satisfied with your hand or until you bust (go over 21).

4. Dealer's Turn: After you've made your moves, it's the dealer's turn to play. The dealer will follow a predefined set of rules for hitting or standing. You'll see the dealer's final hand once they've completed their turn.

5. Determine the Winner: Once both you and the dealer have finished playing, the winner is determined based on who has the hand closest to 21 without exceeding it. If you have a higher hand value than the dealer without busting, you win. If the dealer has a higher hand value or if you bust, the dealer wins.

6. Betting: After each round, your coins will be adjusted based on whether you win or lose. You'll gain 10 coins for each win and lose 10 coins for each loss. If you run out of coins (less than 10), the game will end.
