Playing Your Hand

Or 'stand' to not receive another card if you feel satisfied that your current hand value is the closest to 21 you will get and that the dealer doesn't have a hand value closer to 21

Revealing of Dealers Cards

After everyone at the table is satisfied with their hand, the dealer will reveal their last card in their hand by turning it over, facing up

If you have a larger face value than 21, you bust
