If casinos had to do it all over again they probably would not offer blackjack
as a game. The reason is simple for this; the odds are too fair and
the player has too many advantages. Yes, to be sure, there is a small
house edge but also, to be sure, it can easily be overcome by a good
and disciplined blackjack player. That is why blackjack is one of the
most popular games either at a brick and mortar casino or at an online
casino because the players know that they have a legitimate shot for
money and winning. That being said, its amazing just how many foolish
mistakes are made, even by veteran experts at blackjack, which is what
keeps the casinos in business and why, in the end, they don’t
shut down the blackjack tables.
Blackjack is also a very simple game, which is another reason as to
why it has so much appeal. Aces are the most valuable card as they count
for either one point or eleven, (it’s the player’s option
to choose which value he wants to use for his ace). A king, queen, jack,
and ten are each worth ten points. From there the numeric cards are
worth their numeric numbers.
The best hand that a player can draw is an ace along with a king, queen,
jack, or ten which would be a perfect hand of “twenty one,”
which is the other name that this game goes by. The object is to get
as close to twenty one points in blackjack without going OVER the total
of twenty one which is known as going “bust.”
