Black Jack is possibly one of the most favored games played in casinos. Blackjack is also referred to as "twenty one" or "pontoon." The game is a mix of chance and ability coupled with choices. The card game has changed over a set amount of time. Players have specialized in certain skills like "card card counting," which allows them to shift the edge in the game in the players favor. The card game has been in existence since the 1700s. References can be located in historical scriptures to a game known as "vingt-et-un," which means 21 in French, and is considered the ancestor to blackjack.

The game was at first not so well-liked in the united states. This caused the gambling houses attempting different things like offering a reward like a ten to one payout, if the black jack player had a "black" jack and an ace of spades. The jack could be either the jack of spades or clubs. Once the card game got popular, the bonus pay out before long disappeared from the game.

Any hand which reaches a sum of twenty one is considered a winner. The value should not exceed twenty one, in which case the hand is said to be "bust." The goal of each player is to beat the casino. If the black jack player and the casino both have an identical hand value, it’s called "push," with not either the player or the casino coming away with a win on the hand.
