Blackjack is played on
an arch-shaped table at a casino and the dealer is confronted to the
seven players. Each player plays his hand autonomously against the
dealer. At the commencement of each round, the player places a bet
in the "betting box" and receives an initial hand of two cards. The
object of the game is to get a higher card totaling than the
dealer's hand, but without going over 21. Cards from 2 to 10 the
value printed on them count as that value and the jack, queen, and
king also count as 10.
But the ace card can be either 1 or 11 according to the player's
choice. The player goes first and plays his hand by taking
additional cards if he desires. If he goes over 21 points, he
"busts" and automatically loses the hand and his bet. Then the
dealer plays his hand. If the dealer busts, he loses to all
remaining players who have cards whose values are equal to or below
21. If neither busts, the higher hand total wins. If a player ties
with the dealer, the hand is a "push" which means he will not either
lose anything or gain and the player's bet is returned. It is
possible for the dealer to lose to some players but still beat other
players in the same round.
Blackjack is
also known as Twenty-one, Vingt-et-un (French for Twenty-one), or
Pontoon. It is very popular and is most widely played casino game in
the world. The standard game is played with one or more decks
containing 52 cards. The basic rules of this game is to add value of
an initial two card hand in hopes of being dealt a value of
twenty-one. If a value of less than twenty-one is dealt, the player
may choose to be dealt single cards until they either reach a value
of twenty one or near to twenty one. The winner will be fellow who
holds the value of twenty-one or nearest to twenty one without
exceeding it.
