Blackjack Rules - History
Blackjack is by far the most popular card game in modern casinos across Europe and North America. Like many well-established games, its origins are not well documented. Most scholars consider Blackjack to have some roots in a popular card game found at casino tables in 17th Century France, called Vingt-et-Un (20 and 1), hence its other common name: "21". There are candidates predating Vingt-et-Un, but most are poorly documented.
The pre-revolutionary French taught the game to English sailors, soldiers and merchants, who christened it "Blackjack" because of a special rule regarding what was considered the ideal hand in Vingt-et-Un: A player who held the Ace of Spades (i.e. a Black spade) and the Jack of Spades as the first two cards of his hand would be paid out extra. The English gambler's penchant for easy rhymes took over (think "chuck-a-luck", "acey-duecy"), and Black Jack was hard to resist.

Soon, Blackjack migrated to North America, where it gained a wide audience in the 18th Century among the colonists and then spread west through the 19th Century with the migration of pioneers. When Nevada legalized gambling in the early 20th Century, Blackjack was a mainstay of Las Vegas casinos. Since then it has evolved into many variations, as different casinos and different geographic regions adopted their own particular sets of rules.

Blackjack Rules - OverviewIn general, the object of most Blackjack games is to beat the Dealer's hand by getting as close to 21 without going over ("bust"). We offer a number of Blackjack variations which share a common set of basic rules with a few subtle differences. The next few sections describe general Blackjack rules and features. Check the Rules Matrix to see which features apply to which game variations. Card values
Hand Scoring A player has "Blackjack" when the first two cards dealt to a hand are an Ace and a 10-point card (in other words a score of 21 points from just two cards). Blackjack hands pay 3-to-2 immediately, unless the Dealer also has Blackjack, in which case it's a push (bet neither paid nor taken). In general, a tie hand is a push. However, a Blackjack hand will beat a point total of "21" from a hand with 3 or more cards. For example, an Ace-Jack will beat a King-5-6 hand. Even though both hands total 21 points, the Blackjack hand wins. Casino Blackjack play | online Black Jack games | online Blackjack reviews All other winning hands are paid even money (1-to-1). A score of 22 or higher is a bust (i.e. a losing hand). When a player's hand busts, the wager is immediately paid to the house. If all player hands bust, the Dealer wins outright and does not draw any cards, regardless of the Dealer's hand score. Some of our Blackjack games offer a 7-Card Charlie or a variation from it with special bonus payouts. They are all automatic winners. Please see rules section for each individual game for more details on the type of Charlie offered. |
