In this article we’ll discuss how to play blackjack and make bets. Blackjack is a classic casino card game, also referred to as “21.” The object of the game is simple – get your hand total to score as close to 21 as possible, without exceeding 21. There’s no greater feeling for a player than getting a natural blackjack! In Blackjack, everyone plays against the dealer. Players receive all cards face up, and the dealer’s first card is face up and the second is face down. The object of the game is to get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over 21. If a hand goes over 21, it is called a “bust” or “break,” and the wager is lost. In 21, Jacks, Queens, Kings, and 10s count as 10. An Ace may be played as a one or an 11. All other cards are played at face value.
