We'll use elements of the game, such as the player, hand, and card, as examples for object modeling. We won't design the entire simulation. We'll focus on elements of this game because they have some nuance, but aren't terribly complex.

The cards are relatively simple, immutable objects. There are a variety of modeling techniques available. Cards fall into a simple class hierarchy of the number cards, face cards, and the Ace.  There are simple containers, including hands of card instances, and decks of cards as well. These are stateful collections with cards being added and removed. There are a number of ways to implement this in Python and we'll look at many alternatives. We also need to look at the player as a whole. A player will have a sequence of hands, as well as a betting strategy and a Blackjack play strategy. This is a rather complex composite object.
