Blackjack also known as 21 is a card game where the objective is to get as close as possible to 21 points without exceeding it. In Blackjack, both the dealer and the player are dealt two cards while the dealer's cards remain face down. If a player surpasses the 21 point mark then they, unfortunately, lose the game. The game is thought to originate from France in the 18th century, making its way down to Denmark through Europe.
