The prototypes of Blackjack games were already known in the Middle Ages and at the end of the 20th century the casino card game called 21, Blackjack or Vingt-et-un (a French variant) became one of the most widespread casino table games both in land-based and online casinos, which have become quite popular by that time.
Nowadays there exist there exist so many variations or Blackjack games that a friend of mine who works as a marketing expert says that the number of the search queries connected with Blackjack can be compared only to vente Viagra query. Personally I think that Blackjack games are less vital for health that these blue pills, but they for sure can give you a similar drive.
So, the basic rules of any Blackjack game are (no matter how complicated the game is):
• You play against another player or you only or you and other players play against the casino
• In the game each player and the dealer (if there’s any) is given 2 cards, you have a look at them and decide whether you need a third/forth one
• The total sum of your cards must be close to 21, but not exceed it, otherwise you lose
• You can split your initial hand if your cards have the same value
Card values in Blackjack:
1. Number cards resemble their natural value
2. the queen, the jack and the king are counted as 10
3. the ace is counted as either 1 or 11, depending on your hand
