Black Jack absolutely is one of the more favored games participated in, in casinos. Black jack is also known as "twenty one" or "pontoon." The game is a mix of chance and skills combined with choices. The game has changed over a set amount of time. Players have specialized in specific abilities like "card card counting," with which they turn the edge in the game in their direction. The game has been around since the 1700s. References can be found in historical documents to a game known as "vingt-et-un," which in French means 21, and is deemed as the ancestor to blackjack.

The card game was at first not very well-liked in the US. This led to the betting houses trying various things like providing a bonus like a 10-to-1 pay out, if the black jack player was dealt an ace of spades and a black jack. The jack could be either clubs or spades. After the card game got well-liked, the bonus payout soon disappeared from the game.

Any hand which achieves a value of twenty one is deemed a winner. The value should not exceed twenty one, if it does the hand is said to be "bust." The aim of each player is to best the croupier. If both the black jack player and the casino have the identical hand value, it is called "push," with neither the blackjack player nor the croupier coming away with a win on the hand.
