Whether you’re new to betting house gaming or a betting house veteran, chemin de fer is one of the easiest and most exciting games betting houses have to share. The objective in black jack is to beat the croupier by acquiring a hand as near to twenty one as as you can while not going over. To bet on black jack, you only require a general understanding of the rules and a desire to have fun.
So how do you reach twenty one? In twenty-one, the cards have values. Number cards 2 through 10 are counted at the number printed on the card, while all face cards (King, Queen and Jack) are valued at ten points. The ace card is a special card in chemin de fer: you make a choice whether it’s worth 1 or eleven points. Since casino players are given 2 cards to begin, if you get an ace and a ten valued card,you’ve achieved 21-an instant win, as long as the croupier does not get 21 as well. This twocard winning hand is called a "black jack"; hence the name of the game!
Casino rules for black jack are essentially identical at all casinos. After you are dealt your first 2 cards, your choices are to take another card, 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 twenty-one at a betting house, be certain to know which blackjack table to choose. Most betting houses have colour coded twenty-one tables corresponding with the min bet the table accepts, typically three dollars, five dollars, twenty-five dollars or one hundred dollars. In any betting house, it is a given the $3 and 5 dollar tables will be crowded, but they are excellent for novices at casino games because all of the cards are distributed face-up, as opposed to the 1up, one-down way at higher tables. So the upcoming instanceor the first time-you visit a casino, be certain to stop at the blackjack tables and aim for twenty one!
