Blackjack, also known as Twenty One, or Twenty One Blackjack, is possibly the most famous casino table card game in the world.  It is a comparing card game, and is played against the dealer.

The exact origin of Blackjack has long been a point of contention and often gives rise to heated discussions amongst those passionate about the game.  The most logical conclusion is that it does not originate from a specific time or location, but has rather evolved and developed over the years, into the relatively standard version that is played today.

The aim is to be dealt a hand of cards totalling to 21, preferably before the dealer reaches the same goal.  The ideal situation is to reach the total of 21 with only two cards.

Face cards amount to 10 points each, and an Ace can count as 1 or as 11 points.  All other cards are tallied at the numeral value of the card.

During the course of a round, the player can opt whether to take a “hit”, or to “stay” or “stand”.  The rule is that the dealer must continue to hit until such time as the total of his cards is equal to or exceeds 17.

Whenever the tally of points exceeds 21, the player or the dealer will go bust.  This amounts to losing the bet placed during the particular round.

The Perfect Pairs in Perfect Pairs Blackjack

Due to the comparatively slow progression of a game, many casinos have started to make provision for a side bet, i.e. an additional bet governed by specific rules to play online blackjack.

The side bet wager is typically placed in a cornered off area close to the Blackjack area.  The side bet game will be played simultaneously with the main game of Blackjack.

The aim in Perfect Pairs Blackjack is to be dealt two cards – two matching cards, two cards of which only the colours match and two cards of which only the numbers match.  The different pairs pay out at varying payment percentages.

Other side bet games include Lucky Lucky, Royal Match, 21+3, Lucky Ladies, Match the Dealer and Instant 18. This is as exciting as online roulette Australia options out there.
