The Game of Black jack

Blackjack is one of the most prominent casino games today. Along with poker it is considered as the most popular card game in the world. Unlike some of the other popular casino games like Roulette or Slot Machine it is not totally reliant on chance and there is a right and wrong way to play it.

The rules of the game are quite simple: Every table sits up to 7 players. Each player plays against the dealer and tries to create a score that is greater than the dealer's, but never exceeds 21.

To do that the player receives 2 cards from the dealer. He can then decide to receive more cards (Hit), play only with the two cards he has (Hold) or double his bet (Double). If the player's cards exceed 21, he busts and automatically loses the hand. The dealer must take cards as long as he reaches a score equal to or less than 16. When the value of his cards is equal to or exceeds 17 the dealer is obliged to stop. Then the value of his cards is compared with the value of the player's cards and the winner is announced.

The game rules state that the cards included between 2 and 9 retain their real value, and aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever the player decides to assign them to. Face cards (Prince, Queen, King) are worth 10.

The game has many variations and the most popular are Las Vegas, Atlantic City and European Blackjack. Online casinos usually offer all variations, along with some unique variations of their own, like Crazy Blackjack and Multi Hand Blackjack.
