Over the many years I have lived, I have learned and memorized nearly every single popular card. Of all of these card games, I have a clear favorite. One that I would definitely choose to gamble when I am older. That is the card game Black Jack.
In black jack, everyone starts with two cards. The goal of this game is to have all your cards add the closest to 21 without going over. Players can draw as many more cards as they want (a hit) with the risk of accidentally going over 21. If the cards equal 21, then the player wins or unlikely ties with another person who achieved it. If a players cards go over 21, their final count is 0. This is known as a bust.
In Black Jack, cards other than standard numbers have different values. For example, all of the royalty cards (Jack, Queen, and King) are equal to 10. The Ace however, is worth either 1 or 11 depending what the player chooses.
In this card game, the shapes and colors do not have any meaning, just the number values. I really like this because it makes the game is easy to understand and pickup.
Black Jack is so popular that it is the most played card game at casinos. This is because Black Jack has the highest return to player rate (money made) then any other card game. It is also one of the few options at a casino that allows for some skill instead of luck.
Instead of trying to beat everybody else, at a casino, the goal is to beat the dealer 1 on 1. This allows some players to develop strategies on when to hit or stand (not drawing any cards).
Example of a Popular Strategy Card
Of course, the dealer always has a slight edge over you due to house rules like the dealer always has to go last. Its a casino they want you to lose money. The odds of a person beating the dealer is 42% though, meaning the chances of wining are much higher than other games and slots.
Overall, Black Jack has been mine and many others favorite card game. I highly recommend it to those who have not tried it, as it is very entertaining to play with family and friends. I will continue to play this with friends and hope to win at the casino when Im older. I'll make good choices!
