In Canasta, if a player goes out without having a canasta, the scoring for the other players is based on the cards they hold in their hands. Each card has a point value: 5 points for each wild card (2s and jokers), 10 points for each Ace, and 5 points for 3s through 8s, while 10 points are assigned for 9s through Kings. If a player does not have a canasta, each of their cards is counted towards the penalty score, which is subtracted from their total score. Finally, if a player has a canasta, it can help offset their penalty score against their total.
