Whether you’re new to betting house betting or a betting house veteran, blackjack is one of the easiest and most fun games casinos have to offer. The objective in vingt-et-un is to beat the dealer by getting a hand value as near to twenty-one as as you can while not exceeding 21. To wager on chemin de fer, you simply need a basic understanding of the rules and a desire to have fun.
So how do you achieve twenty one? In black jack, the cards have values. Numbered cards two up to 10 are counted at their printed value, while all face cards (King, Queen and Jack) are valued at ten points. The ace is a unique card in black jack: you make a decision whether it’s worth one or eleven points. Since casino players are handed 2 cards to begin, if you are dealt an ace and a face card or ten,you’ve achieved twenty-one-an instant win, as long as the croupier doesn’t get twenty-one as well. This twocard winning hand is called a "blackjack"; hence the name of the game!
Casino game rules for chemin de fer are essentially the same at all betting houses. After you get your first two cards, your choices are to hit, stand, double your wager and take one card, split your hand into 2 hands with a second wager equal to the first, or occasionally surrender.
When you gamble on chemin de fer at a casino, make certain to understand which game table to choose. Most casinos have color coded black jack tables depending on the minimum wager the table accepts, normally 3 dollars, $5, $25 or 100 dollars. In any betting house, it is a given the 3 dollar and $5 tables will be crowded, but they are fantastic for amateurs at casino games considering that all of the cards are handed out face-up, instead of the one-up, 1down way at higher tables. So the next time-or the first instanceyou visit a betting house, be sure to stop at the blackjack tables and target for 21!
