Blackjack Training

[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

Blackjack is possibly one of the more popular games bet on in casinos. Black jack is also referred to as 21 or Chemin de Fer. The game is a combination of luck and ability coupled with choices. The card game has adapted over a set amount of time. Players have specialized in certain skills like "card counting," which allows them to shift the odds of the game in the players favor. The game has been around since the 18th century. References can be located in historical documents to a game referred to as "vingt-et-un," which in French means Twenty One, and is thought of as the ancestor to blackjack.

The game was initially not very well-liked in the u.s.. This led to the casinos attempting different things like offering a bonus like a ten to one payout, if the blackjack player got a "black" jack and an ace of spades. The jack could be either clubs or spades. Once the card game got popular, the bonus payout soon disappeared from the rules.

Any hand which achieves a sum of twenty-one is considered a winner. The total should not exceed twenty-one, in which case the hand is considered to be "bust." The target of each player is to best the house. If the player and the dealer both have an identical hand value, it’s called "push," with neither the black jack player or the croupier coming away with a win on the hand.
