Description
blackjack.py:
On line 89, the datatype for the user input is a string which doesn't match up with the datatype for the if statement condition on line 90. Since the else statement is automatically executed, the player stays even if wanting to play their hand. A quick fix would be to change line 89 to:
k = int(input('Want to hit or stay?\n Press 1 for hit and 0 for stay '))
blackjack_rr.py:
The total amount of chips the player has doesn't carry over to the next game. A quick fix would be to move line 184 to right before the while statement:
#GAMEPLAY
player_chips = Chips()
while True:

Research direction
Inspect the input handling around line 89 in blackjack.py and the player_chips initialization around line 184 in blackjack_rr.py. Run both blackjack examples manually to confirm hit/stay input works and the player's chip total persists across games. Done means both reported behaviors are corrected without changing the gameplay flow.
