When a player draws cards to increase their hand value, they must be cautious, as going over 21 means they lose regardless of the dealer’s hand. For instance, if a player has a total of 18 and draws a 4, their hand total becomes 22, and they would bust.
Bust Example
For example, a player with an initial hand of 10 and 7 (totaling 17) decides to hit and draws a 5, bringing their total to 22. In this case, the player has busted and loses the round.
