Blackjack, a captivating blend of skill and chance, has enthralled casino goers for centuries. But before diving into the heart-pounding action, let's explore the game's intriguing past.

A History Steeped in Intrigue:

The exact origin story remains shrouded in mystery, though most believe Blackjack evolved from a 17th-century French game called "Vingt-et-Un" (twenty-one). This early version offered a bonus payout for a hand containing an Ace and a black Jack (specifically the Jack of Spades or Clubs), which is where the name Blackjack likely originated.

Across the Atlantic, the game found a new home in North America thanks to French colonists. Initially known as "21," it gained immense popularity, particularly in bustling gambling halls like New Orleans. Early American Blackjack differed from its modern counterpart, with some rules favoring the house more.

The 20th century saw Blackjack truly blossom. Nevada, a hub for legalized gambling, adopted the name "Blackjack" for wider appeal. Bonus payouts for specific hands became less common, but the name stuck.

Thrilling Gameplay: A Race to 21 (Without Going Bust)

Now, let's get down to the thrilling gameplay! Blackjack pits you against the dealer in a race to reach a hand value as close to 21 as possible, without exceeding it (going bust). Here's a breakdown of the essentials:

The Deck: Typically, six decks of cards are shuffled together, removing the element of card counting for casual players.
Card Values: Number cards hold their face value (2-10), while face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth 10. Aces can be valued as 1 or 11, depending on your strategic advantage.
The Deal: Players receive two cards face-up, while the dealer gets two cards, one face-up and one face-down (the hole card).
Making Your Move: Based on your hand and the dealer's face-up card, you can:
Hit: Request another card, hoping to get closer to 21.
Stand: Stay pat with your current hand total.
Double Down: Double your initial bet and receive only one more card.
Split: If you have a pair, you can split them into two separate hands, each requiring an additional bet.
Surrender (Optional Rule): In some casinos, you can forfeit half your bet and walk away if you don't like your chances.
Key Strategies to Enhance Your Game:

Blackjack isn't just about luck. By understanding basic strategy charts readily available online, you can make informed decisions to minimize the house edge. These charts recommend optimal actions based on your hand value and the dealer's face-up card.

Remember, responsible gambling is crucial. Set a budget and stick to it. Blackjack offers an exciting blend of history, strategy, and suspense. So, shuffle up, deal the cards, and experience the thrill of Blackjack!

You two lovebirds remind me that love and soulmates are still a possibility. I love that you both actively support each other when you gamble. You genuinely enjoy spending time together. I wish I had some that cared about me that much, and who loved gambling like I do. Keep it going

Hi Marin and Francine, Great to "see" you both here, and the interaction. Also, nice of them to let you set up camera. That 22 over 20, i had re-watch that !!

That’s a weird question to ask a dealer I’m sorry. Why would you think that the dealers don’t take a real break? It’s a place of employment, (a job), & everyone takes a break.

Always enjoy your blackjack, more bigger hands always welcome, would you and Mr hand pay ever collaborate would be good blackjack video

[leonnaidoo]

[OhioStateJK]

Why does she need to talk???? That voice is brutal!!!

[ferretboul]

11:40 I HATE to be that guy, but this hand, had you split the 8's, you would have made 2 21s. 😂Awesome video as always

Edit: whats even crazier is that she would have made a 21 also. unreal

Tough when you're not hitting those doubles. I had the same sort of session last week. Working hard, doing all the right things but sometimes the cards just don't cooperate.

[armandocastillo]

The 2nd dealer is one of the best ones on this page. Wish I had one like her in my casino

[Eghost]

I barley started the video but i feel like its a good one 🎉

[rongriguts]

Your tiktok and youtube channel have seriously become some of my favorties to sub to dude (no pun intended). I see you playin in lauderdale (where i live)... maybe run into you some time. Question: I somewhat understand your pressing approach, but when do you start to increase your minimum starting bet?

[boomboomboom]

Thanks for sharing. But does that lady next to you ALWAYS talk thru all your streams? 😮

[marclepore]

Love watching you guys play on both channels. Would you ever consider playing with someone else at the table. My wife and I look for you guys at the Hard Rock all the time.

[thescoop]

Frankie.. you’re Rockin” it!!!! Great video!!!!

Who is/was -was Mark?


Thank you for the great entertainment!!!

[Lfggggggg]

whats the point in buying in for huge when you never use it though? like i dont think you ever dipped below 30%, maybe even 40%?

[TJ_F]

You can't always assume with a 5 deck shoe the dealer has a 20 with their top card being a face. That's why the "Book" is not meant for multiple deck shoes. if you are getting a lot of face cards with lower cards, the dealers cards are likely the same😊 still love watching you and Lady Luck😊😊

[tommygirl]

I’m getting my fix now, wish me luck. Not playing your stakes, but close
