Whether you are new to betting house betting or a gambling old-timer, black jack is 1 of the simplest and most fun games casinos have to provide. The aim in black jack is to best the croupier by getting a hand value as near to twenty-one as possible while not going over. To wager on black jack, you just need a basic comprehension of the game rules and a desire to have fun.

So how do you reach 21? In blackjack, the cards have values. Numbered cards 2 up to 10 are valued at face value, while all face cards (King, Queen and Jack) are valued at ten points. The ace is a unique card in black jack: you decide whether it is worth one or 11 points. Since casino players are handed 2 cards to start, if you are dealt an ace and a 10 valued card,you have twenty-one-an immediate success, as long as the dealer does not get 21 as well. This twocard winning hand is called a "black jack"; hence the name of the game!

Casino game rules for black jack are basically identical at all betting houses. After you get your first two cards, your choices are to hit, stay with your first 2 cards, double down, split your hand into 2 hands with a second wager equal to the first, or sometimes surrender.

When you bet on twenty-one at a casino, be certain to understand which game table to choose. Most betting houses have colour coded black jack tables corresponding with the minimum wager the table accepts, normally 3 dollars, five dollars, twenty-five dollars or 100 dollars. In any betting house, it is a certainty the $3 and $5 tables will be packed, but they’re great for newbies at casino games considering that all of the cards are distributed face-up, instead of the 1up, 1down way at higher tables. So the next time-or the initial time-you visit a betting house, be certain to sit down at the chemin de fer tables and target for 21!
