21 Blackjack, Blackjack, or the "Game of 21"
Blackjack, or the "game of 21" has had a long and a good
history. It has provided fun for many, and has even become a great
casino favorite. The object of the game is often said to get as
close to 21 points as possible without going over and going "bust".
In doing so, face cards all count as ten points each as do the ten
cards. Aces can be considered 1 point or 11 points, whichever
improves the hand more. And the other cards are their normal face
values in points.
A second aspect of the game - and perhaps one even more
important - is to beat the dealer. All players are essentially
playing against the dealer. So one should also watch the dealer's
single "up card" to see if the dealer might be working on a good hand or
a bad hand. The idea is to do better than the dealer in getting
close to 21 points without going over. Ties are "break-even" plays
and balckjacks - being dealt 21 points - pays 3:2 for the basic original
blackjack game. |

rpsoft 2000- blackjack game
One easy way to practice the game in a simple atmosphere
and to also modify the games options as you wish is with the blackjack
game available here from rpsoft 2000 software. The game has many
features that can help one learn to at least defend themselves a little
in a regular blackjack game or one of the variations. The game
includes many options - including how many decks in play, dealer hitting
on soft 17 or not, number of cards in a deck to be dealt, basic options
of basic blackjack, Spanish 21, 6:5 single deck blackjack, Super Fun 21
and many more options. The deal mechanism of the game has been
gone over carefully to reflect the real odds of a deck of cards being
dealt.
Basic Strategy Hint Charts
And as one plays the game, simple hint charts are
provided by pressing the "f2" key during a game, or the more complete
hint chart for that game by pressing "f3". Several hint charts are
provided - showing the differences in play between single deck
blackjack, multiple deck blackjack, Spanish 21 and more. And as
you become familiar with the hint charts and best play, you will likely
need the charts less and less. Then, perhaps you are ready for the
real thing. However, always keep in mind that even if you are
great at Basic Strategy and have close to even up odds with the house,
that luck can bring large swings either for or against you for short
periods of play. That is perhaps why we call it gambling.
However, why not practice and learn basic strategy to get those odds as
good as you can? Or if you wish to not take any risks at all,
simply enjoy the rpsoft 2000 blackjack game. Even though we
ourselves have played in many casinos in the US and internationally, we
still enjoy the software game also.
Yes, many options, and a great attempt at simulating the
real game - all to provide a safe and fun atmosphere for learning the
game.

Book: The Complete Blackjack Survival Kit (click for info)
eBook Available from Google Play, Amazon Kindle, Barnes
and Noble Nook
Does this book tell you how to win? No. It
does tell you how you might get the odds in your favor, and
gives some strategy tables for some of the more common blackjack
games played in casinos. It also tries to explain using math and
simulations why getting the odds in your favor may indeed
improve your play, but why no one we know of can guarantee
winning all of the time. |
