On Line Blackjack
Blackjack is a popular American casino game, now found throughout
the world. It is a banking game in which the aim of the player is
to achieve a hand whose points total nearer to 21 than the banker's
hand, but without exceeding 21.
Marvin L. French reports that in Nevada casinos this game is called
21 rather than Blackjack; "Blackjack" is the name of the
same game played in the home, with slightly different rules mostly
associated with the absence of a house dealer. The "Blackjack"
holding of ace and jack is called a "natural" by all casino
personnel.
Confusingly, the name Black Jack is used in Britain for an entirely
different card game which is essentially the same as Crazy Eights.
