By far, one of the most popular gambling games ever is blackjack. People search it in casinos because it very much depends on luck and anybody can win. The main objective of the game is to have cards that value more than the ones of the dealer, but they mustn't exceed the limit of 21, because in that case, whoever has the score higher than 21 will automatically lose.
The rules of blackjack are quite simple and they start with the player looking for a table to play at. As in most casino games, each table has a sign that signals the betting limit. This is very important, because there are tables where the bets are quite big and others are for regular people who are just looking for a quick buck.
Once the table has been chosen, the player must then buy chips according to the bet he wants to play, but the rule here is that the value of the chips must be ten times the value of the bet. For example, if a player wants to place a $10 bet, he will have to buy chips worth of 100 dollars. However, this can vary from casino to casino.
Blackjack is one of the easiest gambling games, as the rules are not that difficult and everybody can understand them, without having a prior knowledge of the gambling world. Each card has a certain value and the player's hand must be higher than the dealer's, but the trick is, the total value must not exceed 21. If the player's hand exceeds the 21 limit, then he will automatically lose. The same goes for the dealer.
Each card has a specific value. The regular cards have the value written on them, for example a 4 is worth 4 points. The face cards are worth more, each jack, queen and king having a value of 10 points, while the ace can either value 1 point or 11. The 10 card is worth 10 points, as is written on the card. A "blackjack" or a "natural blackjack" is achieved by the player when the first two cards of his have an added value of exactly 21. If this happens, the player wins automatically.
With the rules in mind, it is important to remember not to cheat as this normally means that you'll lose your privileges at a certain casinos. Anyways, in today's world, blackjack can be played at home, but also in online casinos, making it easier to be enjoyed by more people.
