The American hazard game Black Jack is a classic game in the casino business, the game can be played on all casinos around the world. Most people that like to play poker also enjoy a game of Black Jack time and again.

The game was originally from France and was called   vingt-et-un, but was after a few years introduced in the USA.  At first the game was called 21 and where a hit buy American gamblers. The dealers wanted to draw players to the tables buy give different bonuses. One of those was if you got 21 with an ace of spade and a king of spade you would get a 10-1 bonus win. Therefore the name “Black Jack”, now a day these bonus systems don’t exist but the game is called Black Jack anyway.

When you play Black Jack you play against the bank. Your main task is to get so close to the number 21 as possible, if you get a number higher than 21 you are bust and you loose your bets. Every player around the table is playing against the dealer (The bank) and are given open cards. First you get two cards and the dealer gets on open and one dark card. If you say hit it means that you wand another card and then the dealer gives you a third card. Your goal is to get closer to 21 than the dealer is. After every player has done their choices it’s the dealers turn to play. The dealer can now se on the dark card and can decide if he wants to continue, the dealer cant stop under 17 has to have cards between 21 and seventeen. If the dealer gets bust all the players that didn’t get bust wins their money.
If a player gets 21 he gets “Black Jack”.  If both the dealer and the player get Black Jack you win back your money.
