However today the game has crossed all geographical barriers is played everywhere around the globe and is considered a classic in Canadian, European, Russian and American casinos all alike.     

An introduction to black jack:

One of the major differences between black jack and other casino games is that the game is entirely based on is based on dependent trial processes. That is the odds are not constant from one hand to the next and they change depending upon what cards were played on previous hands. Black jack is considered as one of the easiest casino games. For playing the game the player needs to convert the cash into casino chips. The player has to beat the dealer’s hand either by having a total that exceeds the dealer's total or by not going over 21 when the dealer does. When the player exceeds the range of 21 it is called as busting. The face value of all the cards is being counted in the game. The picture cards are counted as 10 and the ace is counted as either 11 or 1. The game excludes card suits of any types. The total of any hand is counted by the sum of the card values in that specific hand. Before the deal of the cards all players must make a bet by placing chips in their respective betting boxes.
