Blackjack, also known as 21, is a casino card game in which the aim is to beat the dealer by either getting a higher score than them without exceeding 21, or by having them âbustâ and go over 21. To play, youâll place your bets using a designated number of chips at the start of each round, and will be dealt two cards face up. You can then âhitâ or âstandâ depending on the value of your card and the dealerâs hand.
Blackjack has been popular for centuries but has seen a resurgence in recent years thanks to the rise of online gambling.
