Blackjack is a player-versus-house gambling minigame in Roat Pkz, renowned for having the smoothest and most active blackjack system of any RSPS. It follows the traditional rules of blackjack, where the objective is to get a hand total as close to 21 as possible without going over (busting). Players can place bets using Donator Points or Game Credits and play against an automated dealer.

🕹️ How to Play

• Use the command ::blackjack or ::bj to teleport to the blackjack area.
• Interact with a blackjack table to start a game.
• Select your wager using either Donator Points or Game Credits.
• You will be dealt two cards and can choose to:
  • Hit – draw another card.
  • Stand – end your turn and let the dealer play.
  • Double – double your bet and receive one more card (optional and situational).
  • Split – if you have two cards of the same value, split them into two separate hands (players can double after splitting; hitting split Aces is limited to one hit).
• The dealer plays after you stand, and the hand is resolved based on final totals.

🃏 Card Values

• Numbered cards (2–10): Face value.
• Face cards (J, Q, K): 10 points.
• Ace (A): Counts as 1 or 11, whichever benefits your hand.

🎮 Game Rules
