A blackjack, or natural, is a total of 21 in your first two cards. A
blackjack is therefore an Ace and any ten-valued card, with the
additional requirement that these be your first two cards. If you split
a pair of Aces for example, and then draw a ten-valued card on one of
the Aces, this is not a blackjack, but rather a total of 21. The
distinction is important, because a winning blackjack pays the player
odds of 3 to 2. A bet of $10 wins $15 if the player makes a blackjack. A
player blackjack beats any dealer total other than a dealer`s blackjack,
including a dealer`s regular 21. If both a player and the dealer make
blackjack, the hand is a tie or push.
The dealer will usually pay your winning blackjack bet immediately when
it is your turn to play. In the face down games, this means that you
should show the blackjack to the dealer at that time. Some casinos may
postpone paying the blackjack until after the hand is over if the dealer
has a 10 card up and has not checked for a dealer blackjack. Other
casinos check under both 10 and Ace dealer upcards, and would therefore
pay the blackjack immediately. Regardless, when you are dealt a
blackjack, turn the cards face up, and smile. It only happens about once
every 21 hands, but it accounts for a lot of the fun of the game.
Blackjack, also known as twenty-one or Pontoon, is one of the most
popular casino card games in the world. Much of blackjack`s popularity
is due to the mix of chance with elements of skill, and the publicity
that surrounds card counting (keeping track of which cards have been
played since the last shuffle). Blackjack`s precursor was vingt-et-un
("twenty-one"), which originated in French casinos around 1700, and did
not offer the 3:2 bonus for a two-card 21.
