This interesting card game goes by many names some people call it blackjack and some call it twenty one. No matter by which name you call it the main objective of the game blackjack like all other casino games still is to beat the dealer!

Gratis Blackjack can be played with one or more than one deck of cards. Some casinos even use a shuffling machine to shuffle the cards. In games where a single or double deck is used the cards are dealt out by the dealer. In games where multi-decks are used cards are dealt out from a box that resembles a tray and this is called a shoe.

In hand held blackjack the cards are placed face down when they are dealt and the blackjack player is given the option to pick up his cards. In a multi deck game where cards are dealt from a shoe they are dealt face up and the blackjack player is not allowed to touch his cards. The basic play of blackjack in either case remains the same.

The main objective of the game as I stated earlier is to beat the dealer. If the total of the blackjack player’s cards is more than the dealer’s without it going over 21 the player wins. But if the blackjack player’s hand or the dealer’s hand goes over 21 the player busts. Well, if the player busts he anyway loses and if the dealer busts and the player does not he wins. Play this game wisely without blowing your bank balance and enjoy it as an interesting recreational activity.
