Black Jack is one of the most well-known games bet on in betting houses. Black jack is also known as "twenty one" or Chemin de Fer. The game is a mix of chance and ability combined with choices. The card game has adapted over a period of time. Players have specialized in certain skills like "card card counting," with which they shift the edge in the game in their favor. The card game has been in existence since the 18th century. References can be located in historical scriptures to a game referred to as "vingt-et-un," which means 21 in French, and is considered the ancestor to blackjack.

The card game was at first not so well-liked in the US. This led to the casinos attempting different things like providing a bonus in case of a 10-to-1 pay out, if the blackjack player had an ace of spades and a black jack. The jack could be either clubs or spades. After the game got popular, the reward pay out quickly vanished from the game.

Any hand which achieves a total of twenty one is deemed a winner. The value should not go beyond 21, if it does the hand is considered to be "bust." The aim of every player is to best the house. If both the black jack player and the house have the identical score, it’s referred to as a "push" (a tie), with neither the black jack player or the croupier winning the hand.
