Chemin de Fer is one of the most popular games participated in, in casinos. Black jack is also referred to as 21 or "pontoon." The game is a combination of chance and skills combined with decision-making. The game has evolved over a period of time. Players have specialized in specific skills like "card card counting," which allows them to turn the edge in the game in their direction. The card game has been around since the 18th century. References can be located in historical documents to a card game referred to as "vingt-et-un," which in French means 21, and is thought of as the ancestor to blackjack.

The game was initially not so well-liked in the states. This led to the gambling houses trying a number of things like providing a reward in case of a 10-to-1 pay out, if the black jack player had an ace of spades and a black jack. The jack could be either the jack of spades or clubs. Once the card game got well-liked, the reward payout quickly vanished from the rules.

Any hand which achieves a value of twenty one is deemed a winner. The value should not go beyond twenty one, in which case the hand is considered to be "bust." The target of any player is to beat the casino. If both the player and the casino have the same hand value, it’s referred to as a "push," with neither the black jack player or the dealer coming away with a win on the hand.
