The name "Blackjack" refers to a popular and classic casino card game also known as "21." The goal of the game is simple yet strategic: players aim to have a hand value as close to 21 as possible without exceeding it, while also beating the dealer's hand. Played with one or more standard decks of cards, Blackjack combines skill, strategy, and a bit of luck, making it a favorite among casual players and seasoned gamblers alike. The name "Blackjack" originates from a special bonus payout historically given when a player's initial hand consisted of the Ace of Spades and a black Jack (either the Jack of Spades or Clubs). Today, the game is widely enjoyed in casinos and online platforms around the world, symbolizing excitement, quick thinking, and the timeless thrill of beating the odds.
