How it works?

Pretty simple and straight forward, except the recursive design of the computers hand.

var computerAsyncHand = function() {
  if (computerTurn < 2) {
    computerHand.push(randomPoints());
    computerTurn++;
    computerHand.push(randomPoints());
    computerTurn++;
    console.log(dealCard(computerHand[0], randomInt(4)));
    console.log(dealCard(computerHand[1], randomInt(4)));
    console.log(computerHand.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0));
    sleep(1000);
  }
  if (computerHand.includes(11)) {
    var Ace = computerHand.indexOf(11);
    computerHand[Ace] = 1;
    console.log('Dealer score is now ' + computerHand.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0) + ', using the A as a 1!');
  }
  if (computerHand.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0) > 17) {
    //Game Over
    return;
  } else {
    computerHand.push(randomPoints());
    computerTurn++;
    console.log(dealCard(computerHand[computerTurn - 1], randomInt(4)));
    console.log(computerHand.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0));
  }
  sleep(1000);
  computerAsyncHand();
}
