The basic objective of blackjack is to beat the dealer. While the game is sometimes called "21", that is not the object, beating the dealer is. Ways of winning blackjack include; having a higher hand than the dealer or having a valid hand when the dealer goes bust. It's important to remember that you don't have to get 21, just beat the dealer.
