Best Games this Week - 62

Blackjack is a straightforward game, once you know the rules. This game is played with one or more standard decks of cards containing 52 cards. The value of each card in the game is straight forward: the royal cards of the Queen, King and Jacks are all valued at 10, and the other cards are at face value, so a 2 is worth 2 points. The Aces, however, are slightly different; they can either be 11 or 1 depending upon how they will best suit the player. The object of the game is for the player to reach the magic number of 21 and achieve blackjack or as close to it as possible without going over the 21 number. The object of the game is to get closer to 21 than the dealer. Online casino blackjack can be played either in a one to one setting with a player and the dealer or between up to 6 players and the dealer. Each player gets dealt two cards face up and the dealer gets one card face up and one face down. The dealer then goes around the table and each player gets the choice of sticking with the cards they have or by taking more cards to try and get close to the number 21. Once each player has made their choice on the cards the dealer then takes their own chances with the cards against those players who have not gone bust - that is taken cards which add up to over 21. If the dealer takes on extra cards which add up to over 21 the players left in the game win. If the dealer sticks with their cards then any player closer to 21 than the dealer wins, but if the dealer is closer to 21 the player looses and the house wins.
