(C++ Beginner) Help with simple blackjack program

[spookyfish]

Im tasked with developing a simple blackjack program for a class. The program I have currently compiles and runs but it isnt paying out properly. A blackjack (21) should pay out 1.5*the wager, but it is doing it more than it should. Here is the code I have.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib> 
#include <ctime>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std; 

int main ()

{
	srand((unsigned)time(0));
	cout << "Welcome to Andrew's Blackjack Game! \n";
	int wager;
	cout << "\n" << "Please place your wager: $";
	cin >> wager;	//wager
	int dealer_card1 = rand() % 13 + 1;  //dealer card 1 
	int dealer_card2 = rand() % 13 + 1;	 //dealer card 2
	int player_card1 = rand() % 13 + 1;	 //player card 1
	int player_card2 = rand() % 13 + 1;  //player card 2
	cout << "\n" << "The dealer has "; 
	switch (dealer_card1) {
		case 1: cout << "Ace and "; 
			break;
		case 11: cout << "Jack and "; 
			break;
		case 12: cout << "Queen and ";
			break;
		case 13: cout << "King and "; 
			break;
		default: cout << dealer_card1 << " and ";
			break;
	}
	switch (dealer_card2) {
		case 1: cout << "Ace"; 
			break;
		case 11: cout << "Jack"; 
			break;
		case 12: cout << "Queen"; 
			break;
		case 13: cout << "King"; 
			break;
		default: cout << dealer_card2;
			break;
	}
	cout << "\n" << "\n" << "You have ";
	switch (player_card1){
		case 1: cout << "Ace and "; 
		break;
		case 11: cout << "Jack and "; 
			break;
		case 12: cout << "Queen and "; 
			break;
		case 13: cout << "King and "; 
			break;
		default: cout << player_card1 << " and "; 
			break;
	}
	switch (player_card2){
		case 1: cout << "Ace"; 
			break;
		case 11: cout << "Jack"; 
			break;
		case 12: cout << "Queen"; 
			break;
		case 13: cout << "King"; 
			break;
		default: cout << player_card2;
			break;
	}
	cout << "\n";
	int dealer_total = dealer_card1 + dealer_card2;
	int player_total = player_card1 + player_card2;
	if ((player_card1 == 1) && (player_card2 == 10|11|12|13))
		cout << "Blackjack! You Win $ " << wager*1.5 << "!!" << endl; 
	else 
		if ((player_card2 == 1) && (player_card1 == 10|11|12|13))
			cout << "Blackjack! You Win $ " << wager*1.5 << "!!" << endl;
		else 
			if (player_total > dealer_total)
				cout << "\n" << "You Win $" << wager << "!!" << endl;
			else 
				cout << "\n" << "You lose" << endl;	
	return 0;
}  //main

I know the problem is in my if else statements im just not sure how to make it work. Thanks for the help.

This may or may not be part of the problem, but it needs to be adressed:

if(player_card2 == 10|11|12|13)

I did the same thing when I was first learning boolean logic and performing tests, and it took me a long time to understand why things are the way they are, but for now just trust me.... you would think the above is correct, but there is a specific way that boolean tests are handled, either in a singular expression, or a stand-alone variable (which yeilds true or false, non-zero and zero respectively)

if(player_card == 10 || player_card == 11 || player_card == 12
        player_card == 13)

     //or in a simplified version:

     if(player_card2 > 9 && player_card < 14)

     //or

     if(player_card >= 10 && player_card <= 13)

So, keep in mind, boolean logic is handled individually per expression, or as a stand alone TRUE/FALSE flag.

Nvm, just realized I was wrong...

Edit: I believe the answer to this problem is within Clinton's post.

Yup that fixed it! Thanks a lot Clinton.
