One of my all time favourite casino games is the classic Blackjack, this is for many reasons but the main reason is that it was one of the first games that I ever learnt to play. This was the easiest casino game to get the hang of for me, the rules of this game are extremely easy to learn as the aim of the game is simply get the value of 21 or as close to 21 as possible without going bust.
When the game first begins and you have placed your bets the dealer will ten give you and himself 2 cards in turn placing both of your cards face down and placing his cards 1 facing down and the other facing up so that you can see the value of that card. All of the cards are taken on face value o if you have the number 2 card it has a value of 2 and this is the same for all of the numbered cards, as for the picture cards which are Jack, Queen and King they all have the value of 10 each and the Ace card can take 1 of 2 values which are 1 or 11.
You will win this game if you beat the dealer by getting closer to 21 than the dealer does, you cannot go over 21 as this is called going bust and the dealer will win. If the cards you are given are not as close to 21 as you would like you can twist which means the dealer will give you another card but if you are happy then just stick and the dealer will try to get closer to 21 than you.
When this has been done you both show your cards and if you beat the dealer you will win the prize cash but if the dealer gets closer than you they will win, the dealer will also win if you go bust or if you both have the same value on your cards.
