Blackjack has long been known as the world's most popular card game. Simple, easy to play and involving both luck and a great deal of skill, 21 online games have taken the modern world by storm. With one of the lowest house edges in the casino, coming in at as low as 0.05% if you play the game wisely, blackjack is recognized as one of the best games on the casino floor for skilled players looking to beat the house and cash in big.

The history of 21 casino games

While the exact origins of blackjack remain unclear, it's earliest written reference can be found in an early 17th-century tale by the author of the infamous classic novel Don Quixote, Manuel de Cervantes. In the story 'Rinconete y Cortadillo', Cervantes depicts a pair of low life rascals running cons on the street using a deck of cards. They play and cheat at prolifically, a game known as 'veintiuna', which conveniently is Spanish for 21. While the story itself is more about depicting the contrasts of street life in the 16th century Seville, at the height of Spain's conquest of the Americas, the mention of 21 games gives us a written starting point for the history of what we call today blackjack.

By the time 21 games made their way to the Americas in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, it became customary for saloon and bar owners to incentive people to play by offering a special reward. If players managed to reach 21 using the ace of spades and a black (clubs or spades) jack, the win would pay out a phenomenal ten to one… and hence the name blackjack was born.

Today, phenomenal payouts of ten to one for blackjack are long gone, but the fundamentals remain the same. Blackjack is played against the dealer, not the other players. The first one, dealer or player, to reach 21 without going over takes the win. While it sounds simple and is on its face, blackjack is actually a complicated game of strategy in which knowing when to hit, that is, take another card on the way to 21, or stand, that is, refuse to take another card, based on the dealer's visible hand, makes all the difference. Raising your bets at the right time in blackjack, when the odds are in your favour and the house edge essentially neutralized, can lead to astronomical wins, which is why blackjack has long been the intelligent card players favourite casino game.

Different types of 21 online games

Today around the world and here at CoolCat Casino, you can find a number of different forms of blackjack that offer up different betting scenarios and chances to win, including: Face Up 21, Match Play 21, Pontoon, BJ + Perfect Pairs, Super 21, European Blackjack and more; each contributing with their own particular rules and variations to take the excitement of regular blackjack to a whole new level.

Www freecasinogames com. Some of the most popular of the seemingly endless variants of blackjack you'll find available to play for fun or real money at CoolCat Casino include:

• 21 Blackjack – the most traditional version of blackjack. You beat the dealer to 21 and the dealer must hit on a soft 17 (for more information of what a soft and hard 17 mean, please see below).

• European Blackjack – in this variant of blackjack, you are not allowed to split 4s, 5s or cards valued at 10 but you can split aces, you are allowed to double down after a split and the dealer stands instead of hits on a soft 17.

• Face Up 21 – unlike more traditional forms of blackjack in which the dealer's second card is dealt face down, in this version both the dealer's cards are face-up, the dealer wins ties and blackjack pays even money.

• Suit ‘em Up 21 – this version of blackjack offers players greater chances to win. If you can match the suit of your two starting cards you win extra cash even before the game itself starts.

• Super 21 – this variant adds a twist with insurance, which pays two to one, blackjack pays even money, and the dealer must hit on a soft 17.

Blackjack strategy tips

Like a game of strategy as much as luck there are a number of important things to keep in mind no matter which variant of blackjack you decide to play. The first and most important blackjack strategy tip of all is, in the words of the immortal Kenny Rodgers, 'you gotta know when to hold ‘em and know when to fold ‘em'. In other words, knowing when to hit, stand or surrender in blackjack is the key to playing a winning game.

In light of the odds, you should always stand in the following situations:

1. on a hard 17 or higher hand. A 'hard' 17 means any hand of 17 or more when the ace counts as one instead of 11.

2. when the dealer shows a two, three, four, five or six and you have a hard 13, 14 or 15.

3. when the dealer shows a four, five or six and you have a hard 12.

4. when you have a soft (when the ace counts as 11) 19 or higher.

5. when you have a soft 18, as long as the dealer doesn't have a nine, ten or ace.

Keeping the odds in mind, you should always hit in the following situations:

1. when you have a hard 11, i.e. the ace counts as one and not 11, or lower.

2. when you have a soft, i.e. the ace is counted as 11, 17 or lower.

Blackjack play options

Doubling Down: doubling down in the variants of blackjack that allow it means giving you the chance to double your original bet if you think you can hit 21, i.e. blackjack, on the next card. With face cards, all equaling 10 as well as ten's counting as ten most of the cards in a blackjack deck will equal ten. That means when you show 11, it's time to double down. Professional blackjack players know that doubling down at the right time is simply the best way to exponentially increase your winnings at the blackjack table and beat the house.

Split: knowing when to split is a fine art in blackjack. In most traditional variants of the game, you will be given the opportunity to split if you are dealt two of the same card. Splitting means you separate the identical cards into two separate hands. This doubles your original bet. The key to successfully splitting is knowing the fundamentals, for example, never, never split a winning hand. If you are dealt two tens, splitting is a bad idea. Keep the 20 and see how it plays out. On the other hand, say you end up with two eights. A total of 16 is a terrible place to be in blackjack, as it's too low to stand well and too high to hit without the risk of going bust. As most of the cards in the deck equal 10, splitting two eights means you'll end up with a statistically reasonable chance of having two 18s in the end, which is a very strong hand.

Insurance: in many variants of blackjack today if the dealer shows an ace, you'll be given the chance to buy insurance. Insurance is, in essence, a side bet. To take it means you are betting that the dealer's next card will count as 10 (as do most of the cards in the blackjack deck) and you'll get paid out 2:1 for the effort. Using insurance well hedges the loss of your original bet in the event the dealer gets blackjack.

The differences between online 21 games and brick and mortar casino play

The fundamental difference between playing blackjack games online at CoolCat Casino versus playing 21 games in a traditional brick and mortar casino comes down to something called a random number generator.

In a classic casino in Las Vegas, Reno, Atlantic City or Macau, different blackjack tables will use varying numbers of decks of cards. This allows professional blackjack players to card count, a practice that is not technically illegal, as it's considered a form of advantage play, but almost always frowned upon by the casinos. Casinos set their own internal rules and if they catch you card counting you'll be shown the door in a hurry. Historically, card counters and card counting teams, like the infamous MIT team, fictionally depicted in the movie '21', have been able to beat the casinos out of millions. To counter the advantage card counting gives intelligent players casinos have come up with elaborate detection systems starting with the dealers and pit bosses all the way up to teams of experts studying ongoing play from the eye in the sky cameras to weed out card counters and blacklist them from the brick and mortar casino world.

Conversely, random number generators (RNGs), are a complex algorithm that ensures that each hand played is a unique event, i.e. the deal is random, so card counting is simply impossible.

On the other hand, one of the great advantages of online casino blackjack play at CoolCat Casino is the simple lack of distractions. Forget the screams and laughter arising from the tables around you, the annoying if not potentially hostile players on either side of you, the sneering dealer, the flashing lights, sirens and pounding background music. Playing blackjack online at CoolCat casino means you can concentrate without distractions on your game. As we mentioned before, blackjack is a game of skill as much as luck and focusing on playing well, knowing when to hit, stand or surrender, can make all the difference between a strong winning session and walking away from a loser, despite your luck.

Live dealer blackjack

In today's world of online blackjack games, more and more casinos are starting to offer what they call live dealer online blackjack. Much like a video chat, these blackjack variants offer a live dealer standing at a table in a recording studio in some corner of the world, dealing real cards. In essence, it's a hybrid version of the game residing somewhere between the experience of a traditional brick and mortar casino and playing 21 games online at CoolCat Casino. Unlike playing blackjack games online at CoolCat, in live dealer games the dealer, usually a good looking scantily clad woman or handsome mad, becomes the distraction. Sure, you don't have the level of distractions you'll find on an Indian or Las Vegas casino floor, but don't be mistaken, the live dealer online experience is intended to make you take your eye off the metaphorical ball when playing blackjack.

Twenty-One, formerly known as Vingt-Un in Britain, France and America, is the name given to a family of popular card games of the gambling family, the progenitor of which is recorded in Spain in the early 17th century. The family includes the casino games of blackjack and Pontoon as well as their domestic equivalents. Twenty-One rose to prominence in France in the 18th century and spread from there to Germany and Britain from whence it crossed to America. Known initially as Vingt-Un in all those countries, it developed into Pontoon in Britain after the First World War and blackjack in Canada and the United States in the late 19th century, where the legalisation of gambling increased its popularity.

History[edit]

Spanish origins[edit]

The game is first mentioned by name in a 1611 Spanish dictionary where, under the entry for 'card' (carta), it mentions the game of Ventiuno ('twenty-one').^[1] Just two years later, the first brief description of the game is given in a novella by Spanish author, Miguel de Cervantes, most famous for writing Don Quixote. Cervantes was a gambler, and the main characters of his tale 'Rinconete y Cortadillo', from Novelas Ejemplares, are a couple of cheats working in Seville. They are proficient at cheating at Veintiuna (sic), and state that the object of the game is to reach 21 points without going over and that the ace scores 1 or 11. The game is played with the Spanish baraja deck. This short story was written between 1601 and 1602, implying that ventiuna had been played in Castile since the beginning of the 17th century or earlier.^[2][3][a]

France[edit]

The first record of the game in France occurs in 1768 in the Mercure de France, which describes Vingt-Un as fashionable, but 'very old', referring to Cervantes' novella. Other early accounts indicate that the game was new to France suggesting that it took root there from the mid-18th century.^[3] It was also played at the court of Louis XV and is reputed to have been the favourite card game of Napoleon,^[4] but no French rules appear until 1817, nearly two decades after their publication in England.^[5][6] The game continues to appear in French compendia as Vingt-Un and, later, Vingt-et-Un until the late 19th century, but appears obsolete today.

Britain[edit]

In Britain, the game is also recorded in the 1770s and 1780s, for example in a comedy entitled Dissipation,^[7] but the first rules appear in the 1800 edition of Hoyle's under the name of Vingt-Un.^[8] The rules, which are rather simple, are reprinted almost verbatim for the next half a century, but in 1850, more elaborate rules are described which are beginning to look like Pontoon in all but name.^[9][10]

Germany[edit]

Known in the German-speaking world as Siebzehn und Vier ('Seventeen and Four'), Einundzwanzig ('Twenty-One'), Hop(p)sen, Rathen or, frequently, by its original French names of Vingt-Un or Vingt-et-Un, the game had spread to Prussia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire there by the second half of the 18th century,^[11] and had become a universally common game of chance by 1854.^[12] It has continued to be popular as a children's and family game through to modern times.^[13]

North America[edit]

There is a popular myth that, when Vingt-Un was introduced into the United States in the early 1800s - other sources say during the First World War and still others the 1930s - gambling houses offered bonus payouts to stimulate players' interest. One such bonus was a ten-to-one payout if the player's hand consisted of the ace of spades and a black jack (either the jack of clubs or the jack of spades). This hand was called a 'blackjack', and it is claimed that the name stuck to the game even though the ten-to-one bonus was soon withdrawn. French card historian, Thierry Depaulis has recently debunked this story, showing that the name blackjack was first given to the game by prospectors during the Klondike Gold Rush (1896-99), the bonus being the usual ace and any 10-point card. Since the term 'blackjack' also refers to the mineral zincblende, which was often associated with gold or silver deposits, he suggests that the name was transferred by prospectors to the top bonus in the game. He was unable to find any historical evidence for a special bonus for having the combination of an ace with a black jack.^[14]

General mode of play[edit]

Whilst there are numerous variants of Twenty-One, the following general rules apply. The game has a banker and a variable number of punters. The role of banker rotates around the players, except for casino games where the banker's role is held permanently by a member of the casino staff. The banker deals two cards, face down, to each punter. Bets are placed either before receiving the cards or after receiving and viewing the first card. The punters, in turn, having picked up and examined both cards announce whether they will stay with the cards they have or receive another card from the banker free. Some games also allow a punter to raise his stake and 'buy' another card. The aim is to score exactly twenty-one points or to come as close to twenty-one as possible, based on the card values dealt. If a player exceeds twenty-one, they lose their stake. Once every punter has either announced they will stay with their cards or exceeded twenty-one, the dealer takes his turn. Anyone who achieves twenty-one in his first two cards has a 'natural vingt-un', 'pontoon' or 'blackjack', depending on the game variant, which wins double.

Typical rules[edit]

How do casinos pay out large sums of money. The following sections give an outline of the regional variants of Twenty-One beginning with the early rules in France which are probably close to the original game.

British Vingt-Un[edit]

The earliest rules printed anywhere appear in Hoyle's Games Improved, published in London in 1800. The following is a summary:^[6]

The first dealer is chosen by any agreed method, e.g. the first player to turn up an ace becomes the dealer. It is likely that deal and play were clockwise and that players staked a fixed amount before the deal, but the rules are vague on these points.

The dealer deals two cards to each player, one at a time. He then asks each player, in rotation and beginning with eldest hand (to his left), whether he wants to 'stand' or choose another card. In the latter case, the dealer gives him the top card from the pack. The player may continue to ask for more cards until he reaches or exceeds a score of 21 or decides to stand. If he exceeds 21, he immediately throws his cards up and pays his stake to the dealer.

The dealer may also draw additional cards and, on taking Vingt-un, receives double stakes from all who stand, except those who also have 21, with whom it is a drawn game. When any opponent has 21, but the dealer does not, the dealer pays double stakes. If no-one has 21, the dealer pays a single stake to those whose score is higher than his and receives a single stake from those whose score is lower. Any player with the same score as the dealer neither pays nor receives a stake. If the dealer exceeds 21, he pays all who have not 'thrown up' their cards.

The first player in rotational order who declares a Natural Vingt-Un takes over as the next dealer and earns a double stake from all players except those who also have one, who need not pay anything. The new dealer reshuffles the pack and deals afresh. Otherwise, the cards must be dealt out in succession, the pone (youngest hand) collecting the cards that have been played and shuffling them until the pack is exhausted, whereupon the same dealer re-deals.

French Vingt-Un[edit]

The game was originally called Vingt-Un in France, later becoming known as Vingt-et-Un. The following rules are based on the Petite Académie des Jeux (1817), supplemented by Raisson (1835).^[5][15]

The game is played with a French-suited pack of 52 cards. Cards are worth their nominal value except for the ace which scores 1 or 11 points at the player's discretion and court cards which are worth ten points each. The first banker or banquier is chosen by lot. Punters (joueurs) place their stakes; usually a maximum is agreed.

The banquier shuffles the cards, offers them to his left for cutting and then deals two to each player, one at a time. In turn each player may say 'I'll keep them' (je m'y tiens) or 'card' (carte) depending on the strength of his cards. Once a player sticks (i.e. keeps his cards) or goes bust, it is the turn of the next player in anti-clockwise order.

A punter who busts gives the banker his stake and puts his cards to one side. If the banquier goes bust, he pays each surviving player the amount of their stake. If he sticks, the cards are laid down. The banquier pays any punter with a higher score the amount of his stake and receives the stakes of those punters who have a lower score. If the scores are level; the punter just 'pays' in his cards (i.e. hands his cards in).

If a punter scores twenty-one straight away (i.e. with an ace and a ten or an ace and a court card) it is a vingt-un d'emblée ('immediate twenty-one'). He reveals his cards and is paid double his stake by the banquier without waiting for the end of the round unless the banquier also has twenty-one in which case no money changes hands. If the banquier scores twenty-one straight away, each punter pays him double his stake unless he, too, has twenty-one in which case he simply 'pays' in his cards.

Once the cards are all dealt, the round is over. If there are not enough cards left to go round, the banquier distributes those he has and then shuffles those already used up and deals the additional cards necessary to finish the round.

American Vingt-Un[edit]

Twenty-One appeared in the United States in the early 1800s, still known in those days as Vingt-Un. The first rules were published in 1825 and were effectively a reprint of those from the 1800 English Hoyle (see above).^[6][16] English Vingt-Un later developed into an American variant in its own right which, during the Klondike Gold Rush (1896-99) became known as blackjack. Blackjack has since become an international casino game, but remains popular as a home game.

Siebzehn und Vier[edit]

The German variant of Twenty-One is known as Siebzehn und Vier ('Seventeen and Four'), Einundzwanzig ('Twenty-One') or Hoppsen, although many sources describe it under its French names. The first rules appeared in 1821 under the name Vingt Un.^[17] The following rules are based on Ulmann (1890).^[18]

One or two packs of Piquet cards or German-suited cards are used (32 in each) ranking from ace or deuce down to Seven. Card values are: ace/deuce - 11, ten - 10, king - 2, queen and jack - 1, nine - 9, eight - 8 and seven - 7. The banker (banquier or bankhalter) places a fixed or variable stake, shuffles the cards well and has one of the punters or pointeurs cut them. He then deals just one card to each pointeur, face down, and takes one himself. The one on the right of the banquier now 'buys' a card and either 'stays put' (bleibt) or takes another card, again deciding whether to stick or buy. If he goes 'bust' he is 'dead' (todt) and immediately pays his stake to the bank and throws his cards in, face down. The next pointeur now takes his turn and so on until all the pointeurs have either stuck or bust. Now the banquier looks at his card, buys another one and goes through the same process until he sticks or busts.

A pointeur who scores twenty-one in his first two cards is paid double his stake. Two aces count as twenty-one for this purpose. Pointeurs who score the same or less than the banquier pay their stake to the bank. If the banquier scores twenty-one he wins double stakes from each pointeur unless the latter also has twenty-one in which case he only pays a single stake. If the banquier scores twenty-one in his first two cards, he receives a double stake from everyone else regardless of their scores.

Descendants[edit]

Pontoon[edit]

Pontoon is the British variant of Twenty-One. The name dates back to the First World War and is probably a corruption of 'Vontoon', which in turn derived from Vingt-Un, but the game is clearly much older. For example the rules by 'Trumps' (1870) for Vingt-Un in a British card game manual already reflect the more elaborate rules of what later became known as Pontoon.^[10]

Blackjack[edit]

Although the modern game of blackjack has no fixed rules, it has clearly developed in sophistication from Twenty-One. In addition to different terminology and payment systems, there are other nuances, such as splitting pairs, insurance and doubling down which add to the skill of the game.^[19][20]

Footnotes[edit]

1. ^Parlett states that Vingt-Un first emerged in the mid-18th century as a descendant of Trente-Un ('Thirty-One'), the latter first being recorded as early as 1464. He argues that it was probably introduced because players could reach 21 faster than 31 - even in two cards - and thus the rate of play and consequent payouts were speeded up.^[4] However, this theory has since been debunked by Depaulis.^[3]
