Each card has the point value (sometimes referred to as ‘rank’) displayed on the card other than the face cards (Jack, Queen and King) which are valued at 10 and the Ace which can be valued at either 1 or 11 depending on which is more beneficial to the player. The game is played with one or more decks of 52 cards (no Joker cards are included). One of the best known and most popular casino backed card games in the world, Blackjack sees the player compete against the casino, not the other players at the table, with the objective to get a higher hand total than the dealer without exceeding 21.
