Push [Meaning] - MasterTerms.com

Push

A push in Blackjack occurs when the player and the dealer have the same hand value, resulting in a tie.

In this situation, the player’s bet is neither won nor lost; it is returned to them. A push typically happens when both the player and dealer have a hand total of 21 or when both have the same total that is less than 21, leading to an equal outcome.

Push Example

For example, if a player has a total of 18 and the dealer also has a total of 18, the hand results in a push, and the player retains their original bet without any winnings.
