The Best Card Game To Play At A Casino

Although some may argue that the best card game could be poker, Blackjack still holds the top position. It remains prominent among the newbies as well. Even though you have not played it ever in your life, the word ‘Blackjack’ doesn’t remain alien to you. The game is an America version of the classic banking game ‘Twenty-one’.

Objective

How to beat the dealer

There are three ways to do so:

• Draw hand value higher than the dealer’s hand value
• If the dealer draws a hand value higher than 21, you win
• Draw a hand value summing up to 21, on the first two cards

Hand values

• From 2 to 9, the cards are counted as it is: 2 as 2 and 9 as 9

• Face cards King, queen and jack are considered as 10
• Ace is considered as 1 or 11, depending on what holds more value at the situation
