Black Jack absolutely is one of the more favoured games played in casinos. Blackjack is also referred to as "twenty one" or Chemin de Fer. The game is a mix of chance and skills coupled with decision-making. The card game has evolved over a period of time. Players have specialized in specific abilities like "card card counting," with which they turn the odds of the game in their direction. The game has been in existence since the 1700s. References can be located in historical documents to a card game known as "vingt-et-un," which in French means Twenty One, and is deemed as the precursor to black jack.

The card game was initially not so popular in the united states of america. This caused the betting houses trying a variety of things like offering a bonus like a ten to one payout, if the blackjack player was dealt a "black" jack and an ace of spades. The jack could be either the jack of clubs or jack of spades. Once the game got popular, the reward payout before long disappeared from the rules.

Any hand which reaches a value of twenty one is deemed a winner. The total can not go beyond twenty one, if it does the hand is said to be "bust." The aim of any player is to beat the croupier. If the blackjack player and the croupier both have an identical hand value, it is called "push," with not either the black jack player or the dealer coming away with a win on the hand.
