BLACKJACK

Blackjack is a very popular card game commonlu played in casinos worldwide. This program will simulate a virtual casino, with computer as the dealer. The purpose of this game is to beat the dealer, which can be done in various ways.

Rules

At the start of the game, both the player and the dealer are given 2 cards, however one of the dealer's card is kept hidden.
Each card holds a certain value.
- Numbered cards have a value identical to their number.
- All face cards (e.g. King, Queen) hold a value of 10.
- Aces can either hold a value of 1 or 11, depending on the situation.
Blackjack refers to a total card value of 21. When a player achieves this, they immediately win, and the victory results in a payout 3x the amount of the bet!
If the total value of cards exceeds 21, it's called a BUST, which results in immediate loss. If both participants bust, the result is a tie, and the bets are returned.
If none of the above conditions are met, the person with a closer value to 21 wins. Winning in this manner results in a payout 2x the amount of the bet!

PLEASE NOTE: For simplicity, this program does not include advanced moves, such as double downs, splits and surrenders. The program also currently lacks proper linting, debugging and optimization.
