Palace Casino-Blackjack Blackjack is one of the most popular casino table games. Everyone plays against the dealer who begins the game by dealing every player two cards face up and himself one card face up. All bets are placed before any cards are dealt.
Cards count as their face value.
Kings, Queens, and Jacks all count as ten. Aces count as one or eleven. Remember, the object of the game is to get as close to twenty-one as possible without going over. You want your hand to be closer to twenty-one than the dealer's. If your card count is closer to twenty-one than the dealer's, you win.
