2. Blackjack - Overview


Blackjack, which is also refered to as twenty-one or Pontoon, is one of the most popular casico card games in the world. Much of blackjack’s Popularity is due to the mix of chance and skill and the publicity that surrounds card counting which will be discussed in this Snap guide as well.

Blackjack was not very popular when it was first introduced in the US, so gambling houses tried offering various bonus payouts to get the players to the tables. One such bonus was 10-to-1 payout if the players hand consisted of the ace of spades and black jack. (Either the Jack of clubs or spades) This hand was called the Blackjack, and the name stuck to the game even though the bonus payout was soon abolished. As the game is currently played, a Blackjack may not necessarily contain a jack at all.

3. Rules


While playing the game, each player is dealt 2 cards. The hand with the highest total wins as long as it doesn’t exceed 21. If they are higher then 21; a hand with a higher total then 21 is said to Bust. Cards 2 through 10 are worth their face value, and face cards are also worth 10. An ace’s value is 11 unless this number causes the player to Bust, in which case, it is then worth a 1. If the Ace in a hand is valued at 11, that hand is called a Soft Hand, because it cannot be busted if the player draws another card.

The goal is simple; each player is to beat the dealer by having the higher, unbusted hand. For the record, if the player busts, then he loses the hand; even if the dealer busts. So you can say that blackjack favors the dealer. The minimum bet on a table varies from casino to casino, and from table to table.

A two card hand of 21 (Ace plus ten-value card), is called “blackjack.” Or a “natural”, and is an automatic winner.
