Blackjack, also known as “21” is the most popular casino game of all time. The origins of the game dates back to 18th century in France. Blackjack is a classic and easy-to-play game that offers a fast-paced and exciting way to double and triple your bankroll in no time.
Blackjack is played against a dealer as opposed to against other players. In order to win, you need to beat the dealer by having a hand that is valued as close to 21 points as possible. If the player's hand has over 21 points, it's considered a “bust” and the bet is lost. 21 points exactly is automatically a win and is called “Blackjack”. This is only possible when the first 2 cards dealt are an ace and a card with a 10 point value.
A “Blackjack” beats 21 points that are accumulated with more than 2 cards. Should the player and the dealer hit the same score, there is a tie, also called a “push”.
