  Blackjack is usually modelled using Monte Carlo (MC) Methods. There is a lot of literature on MC methods which is interesting on its own right but [here](https://math.dartmouth.edu/theses/undergrad/2014/Vaidyanathan-Thesis.pdf) is a paper describing how MC is applied to Blackjack. There is also a good description on page 110 of the [Introduction to Reinforcement Learning](http://people.inf.elte.hu/lorincz/Files/RL_2006/SuttonBook.pdf).
  
  Good luck!
