Whether you are a brand-new to betting house gaming or a betting house old-timer, twenty-one is one of the simplest and most exciting games betting houses have to share. The goal in vingt-et-un is to beat the croupier by getting a hand as close to twenty one as possible and not exceeding 21. To wager on black jack, you need only a general comprehension of the rules and a ambition to experience fun.

So how do you achieve 21? In black jack, the cards have values. Numbered cards 2 up to 10 are counted at face value, while every face cards (King, Queen and Jack) are worth ten points. The ace is a unique card in black jack: you decide whether it’s worth one or eleven points. Since casino players are given 2 cards to begin, if you get an ace and a face card or 10,you’ve achieved 21-an instant success, as long as the dealer doesn’t get 21 as well. This twocard winning hand is called a "black jack"; hence the name of the game!

Casino rules for blackjack are basically similar at all casinos. After you are dealt your first two cards, your choices are to hit, stand, double down, split, or sometimes surrender.

When you gamble on twenty-one at a casino, make certain to know which table to choose. Most betting houses have color coded chemin de fer tables corresponding with the min wager the table accepts, typically three dollars, 5 dollars, twenty-five dollars or $100. In any betting house, it is a certainty the three dollar and 5 dollar tables will be filled, but they are excellent for novices at blackjack because all of the cards are distributed face-up, unlike the one-up, one-down method at higher tables.
