Blackjack online

Blackjack, also called twenty-one and pontoon, is a card game that is popular in casinos around the world. Its origin is controversial, but it is certainly related to several French and Italian games of chance. In the UK, the informal game has been called Pontoon since World War I.

Players hope to reach a total card value of 21 or get closer to this value than the dealer against whom all bets are made without exceeding it. For this purpose, the aces count as 1 or 11, the face cards as 10 and the rest with their index value. A hand in which the first two cards (an ace and a 10 or a face card) result in 21 is referred to as "natural" or "blackjack". The card colors are irrelevant. In most game variants, a player who receives two cards of the same value can split them up, receiving a second for each card, and playing the two hands independently. Another common rule is "doubling" with two cards, which together make up 11 (in some variants 11 or 10) - the player doubles the bet, turns up the cards and takes another face down card. In some games, a player wins additional if he receives five cards without "going over 21".
