BLACKJACK TERMS DICTIONARY

 

 
   

BLACKJACK

Blackjack of course is the name of the "game of 21".  In this game, face cards count as ten points as do the 10 cards.  Aces can count as either 1 point or 11 points - whichever is more favorable to the player.  The other cards are at their normal face value in points.  The simple object would seem to be to get as close to 21 as possible.  However, a blackjack master would tell you that the real goal is to beat the dealer.  if the dealer has a good card, then you must also try for a good hand.  If the dealer's card is not very good, then wisdom might say that it is best to not take many chances.

The term "blackjack" also means receiving 21 points on the first two cards dealt.  This can only be done if one card is an ace (counted as 11 points) and a ten valued card - a ten or face card.
