Blackjack

Blackjack is a minigame in the Like a Dragon series first introduced in Yakuza 2.
==Overview==
===Description===
Blackjack is a card game using a standard 52-card deck where players build a hand worth up to and no more than 21 points, aiming to have their hand's value exceed the dealer's.
===Betting===
Blackjack can be played with either low-stakes or high-stakes betting, which decides the minimum and maximum betting amounts.
*Low Stakes: 10 chips minimum bet, 100 chips initial betting cap, 1,000 chips maximum betting cap. Minimum 1,000 chips required in inventory to play.
*High Stakes: 100 chips minimum bet, 1,000 chips initial betting cap, 10,000 chips maximum betting cap. Minimum 10,000 chips required in inventory to play.
The betting cap increases per consecutive win, with the first win increasing the cap from 100/1,000 to 300/3,000; the second to 500/5,000; the third to 1,000/10,000. Losing resets the betting cap to its initial value.
===Gameplay===
The value of each card is the same as their rank for the numbers 2-10. Jack, Queen, and King are all worth 10 each. The Ace is worth 1 or 11, whichever is more beneficial to the hand.
Each round, the dealer draws two cards with one exposed and the other concealed. All players are dealt two cards, and on their turns, the player's options are as follows:
* Hit - Draw card.
* Stand - End turn without drawing.
* Split - Only available when both dealt cards are of the same value. Split hand into two cards, draw one card, choose either Hit or Stand for each hand.
* Double Down - Only available at the start of a player's turn. Hit once and double bet, then turn ends.
* Surrender - Lose the round and lose half of the amount bet.
Players aim to build a hand with a value close to or equal to 21. Should the value of a player's hand exceed 21, they will "Bust", causing them to lose their bet. In the event the two cards a player is initially dealt yield a value of 21, they will have a "Blackjack", which will give ×1.5 their bet. If a player builds a hand of six cards without Busting, they will win through a "Six-Card Charlie".
Once the players have completed their turns, the dealer will uncover their concealed card. If the value of their hand is 16 or below, they will Hit until the value is between 17 and 21 (in which case they will Stand), or they bust. If the dealer's exposed card is an Ace, players will be offered a chance to pay "Insurance" in case the dealer has a Blackjack. Insurance is worth half of a player's initial bet (rounded up) and the player is given ×2 the Insurance's payout should the dealer have a Blackjack. Insurance is not refunded if the dealer does not have a Blackjack. 
A player will win the amount of chips bet should their hand's value exceed the dealer's. If the event the dealer and the player have hands of the same value, they will tie. Additionally, the dealer's Blackjack will tie with a player's Blackjack in case both parties draw as such.
====High Stakes====
Starting in Yakuza 5, the dealer may offer to play a high-stakes game after the player wins several rounds. In this mode, the player bets a set amount depending on the original betting type. Winning will pay ×3 the bet, winning with a Double Down pays ×6, and winning with a Blackjack pays ×15.
