Whether you are new to casino gaming or a gambling veteran, black jack is one of the simplest and most fun games casinos have to offer. The objective in chemin de fer is to best the dealer by acquiring a hand as near to 21 as possible and not exceeding 21. To bet on blackjack, you only require a basic understanding of the game rules and a desire to have fun.

So how do you achieve twenty one? In black jack, the cards have values. Number cards 2 through 10 are valued at the face value, while all face cards (King, Queen and Jack) are worth ten points. The ace is a unique card in blackjack: you make a decision whether it’s worth 1 or eleven points. Since casino players are handed two cards to start, if you get an ace and a 10 valued card,you have 21-an instant win, as long as the croupier doesn’t get twenty one as well. This twocard winning hand is called a "blackjack"; hence the name of the game!

Casino game rules for twenty-one are basically the same at all casinos. After you acquire your first 2 cards, your options are to take another card, stand, double down, split your hand into 2 hands with a second wager equal to the first, or occasionally bow out.

When you participate in twenty-one at a casino, be certain to understand which blackjack table to select. Most betting houses have colour coded chemin de fer tables depending on the minimum bet the table accepts, normally $3, $5, 25 dollars or 100 dollars. In any betting house, it is a given the 3 dollar and 5 dollar tables will be filled, but they’re great for novices at twenty-one because all of the cards are given out face-up, instead of the one-up, one-down method at higher tables. So the next instanceor the initial time-you visit a betting house, be sure to visit the chemin de fer tables and aim for 21!
