Conversion to MiniScript.
Ways to play:
- Command-Line MiniScript: Download for your system from https://miniscript.org/cmdline/, install, and then run the program with a command such as:
miniscript blackjack.ms

- Mini Micro: Download Mini Micro from https://miniscript.org/MiniMicro/, launch, and then click the top disk slot and chose "Mount Folder..." Select the folder containing the MiniScript program and this README file. Then, at the Mini Micro command prompt, enter:
load "blackjack"
run
