What is Blackjack?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Blackjack is a card game whose origins are disputed. What we do know for sure is that it\u2019s the main game in the series of Vingt-Un card games. It uses a deck of 52 standard cards without Jokers, and is always played against a dealer rather than against other players. The game has been popular for centuries in deluxe casinos all over the world, and that popularity followed blackjack\u00a0when it came to the Internet.<\/p>\n

The History of Blackjack<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first reference to blackjack as a card game was made by Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes. He was known for his gambling escapades, mentioning the game in the novel Rinconette y Cortadillo. The game was written at the very beginning of the 1600s, so it was played in Castille since the beginning of the XVII century. Many historians believe it is much older, but Cervantes\u2019 mention is the first historical reference of Twenty One.<\/p>\n

Century by century, it managed to reach other shores. Vingt Un was introduced to the United States later, most likely during the Klondike Gold Rush, when it was named blackjack. It was played in illegal and legal gambling houses and casinos in Nevada later where it became a huge hit. Blackjack truly emerged as the premier card game in the 1970s and following decades, when the MIT team made millions in casinos using the famous card counting strategy.<\/p>\n

Gameplay and Strategies<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The goal of blackjack is simple. You play against a dealer trying to avoid busting over a count of 21. To start, you select your bet and receive two cards, just like the dealer. If you hold and compare your hands, the player with the count closer to 21 wins. You can also double down on any hand, ask for another card, or fold depending on the cards you\u2019ve received.<\/p>\n

Playing online blackjack is much simpler since you get to do it for free and practice. These games also come with a built-in guide that will help you learn more about blackjack itself.<\/p>\n

Since it\u2019s a game of skill, playing blackjack without a strategy would be foolish. Even the simplest basic betting strategy which helps you stick to the rules is more than enough to hone your blackjack skills. Card counting is the most popular strategy, but don\u2019t waste your time with it \u2013 it\u2019s hard to learn and illegal in land-based and online casinos.<\/p>\n

Just go with the basic blackjack strategy and you\u2019ll turn from a new player to an expert with a lot of practice.<\/p>\n
