Blackjack is one of the more favored games gambled on in casinos. Black jack is also known as "twenty one" or Chemin de Fer. The game is a combination of chance and ability combined with decision-making. The card game has adapted over a period of time. Players have specialized in specific abilities like "card card counting," with which they shift the odds of the game in the players favor. The game has been in existence since the 1700s. References can be found in historical documents to a card game referred to as "vingt-et-un," which means twenty one in French, and is deemed as the precursor to blackjack.

The card game was at first not so well-liked in the united states of america. This led to the casinos attempting a variety of features like offering a reward in case of a 10-to-1 payout, if the black jack player got a "black" jack and an ace of spades. The jack could be either the jack of clubs or jack of spades. Once the game got popular, the bonus pay out soon vanished from the game.

Any hand which achieves a sum of 21 is considered a winner. The total should not exceed twenty one, if it does the hand is considered to be "bust." The goal of each player is to best the dealer. If the player and the house both have the identical score, it is called "push" (a tie), with neither the player or the dealer coming away with a win on the hand.
