Blackjack

Today Black Jack is one of the most preferred online casino games and almost all online casinos are offering this game to their customers for free and for real money with different payouts and limits. The history of the game is not very clear but it is sure that the game was first invented in France. Black jack became popular in US in the 1800's. French emigrants introduced it in card rooms and saloons, but it couldn't replace the other games that are played there. To make the game more attractive, some clubs began offering a whopping 10 to 1 payout to any player who got a special hand on his first two cards: Ace of Spades + a Jack of Clubs or Jack of Spades. From here comes the name of the game "Black Jack". Black Jack is played by up to seven players and one dealer, but each player is competing only against the dealer. Before each dealing, the dealer shuffles the cards. The Blackjack starts when the player puts his/her bet in front of him/her and then the dealer deals two cards to him/herself and to the player. One of the cards of the dealer is face up. According to the dealer's up card the player chooses what to do. The goal of the game is to beat the dealers hand without exceeding 21.
