Blackjack, often called "21," is one of the most popular and enduring card games in casinos worldwide. Its blend of strategy, skill, and luck makes it a favorite for both seasoned gamblers and newcomers alike.

How to Play Blackjack

The objective of Blackjack is simple: beat the dealer by having a hand value closer to 21 without exceeding it. Each player is dealt two cards, and they can choose to "hit" (take another card) or "stand" (keep their current hand). Numbered cards are worth their face value, face cards (Kings, Queens, Jacks) are worth 10, and Aces can be worth either 1 or 11, depending on what benefits the hand.

Why People Love Blackjack

Blackjack stands out among casino games because it's not just about luck—there's real strategy involved. Players can increase their chances of winning by making smart decisions based on the dealer's upcard.
