Blackjack 21 is the most popular casino game and is considered a “true” blackjack game. The object of the game is to score as close to 21 as possible without going over.
The player’s hand is compared against the dealer’s hand and the player with the higher total (plus any bonuses) wins the hand.
There are three basic rules of blackjack: Face Cards, American Blackjack and Betting Blackjack. In all three versions, the dealer hits and stands on any two cards that are equal to or higher than the number shown. If two cards are different, then the dealer hits and stands on either one of them. The player then selects one card to be played and turns it over face up.
If it matches either of the two cards turned over by the dealer, then that card counts as a point for the player and the hand is over. Otherwise, it doesn’t count at all.
In American Blackjack, players also get an extra point for every Ace they have in their hand. Betting Blackjack is similar to American Blackjack except that players can also double down (put another money chips into the bet) on any number up to 2x their original bet, provided that they have enough chips left in their hand after doing so.
