This is a game which has quite long history, it is known that blackjack has been played for centuries. But the 20th century is the golden century for it, it is the time when its modern name has been established and the game has gained its popularity.

When you play blackjack, remember that each card has its own value, in that way the cards’ values are equal to their numbers, while all the picture cards worth 10 points, but the ace can worth 1 or 11. You win the game when you have the set of cards with the total value of 21 points, it is called “Blackjack”. But if your card sum is more than 21, it means you bust. Your aim is to beat the dealer, the gamblers don’t play against of each other, you win the game when you have the higher unbusted hand than the dealer. But in a case you have the same points as the dealer hands it is called “push”. If one of the players has the blackjack and the dealer doesn’t have it, it is given the prize which is equal to 1.5 of the bet sum. But if the dealer wins he gets all the bets, certainly this rule doesn’t work if one of the gamblers also has blackjack. The dealer collects the cards until he has 17 points and more and stops. When the dealer busts he loose the game, but during one round of the game the dealer can beat some players and bust the others.

At the beginning of the game every player make bets and get two cards from the dealer, he also has two cards, one of them is faced down and the other is faced up. Iа there is an ace at the dealers’ first cards the other players can place a side bet, making the insurance. The chances to have the blackjack are rather high when the dealer has the ace, so if he wins you get back some part of the bet, usually it is one half, but you lose it in a case the dealer busts.
