Blackjack
is one of the most popular table games in America. It is derived
from the French game vingt-et-un or twenty and one.
Blackjack’s
widespread popularity is likely related to the simplicity
of the game.
Your
opponent in this game is the dealer; your objective is to
beat the dealer. You can do this by accumulating cards that
have a higher value than his cards without going over 21,
or you can sit on a lower score and hope the dealer goes over
or “busts”.
What
makes this game even more entertaining is that, under certain
circumstances, you can increase your bet in mid-game by “doubling
down” or “splitting”. When the right opportunity
comes around to make these types of bets, you should take
advantage of them because they help eliminate the house edge.
