Whether you are a brand-new to casino gaming or a casino old-timer, chemin de fer is one of the easiest and most fun card games betting houses have to provide. The aim in vingt-et-un is to defeat the dealer by getting a hand value as close to twenty one as possible without exceeding 21. To bet on vingt-et-un, you just need a general comprehension of the rules and a eagerness to have excitement.

So how do you achieve twenty one? In blackjack, the cards have values. Numbered cards 2 through 10 are valued at face value, while all face cards (King, Queen and Jack) are valued at ten points. The ace is a unique card in black jack: you make a choice whether it is worth 1 or 11 points. Since casino players are dealt 2 cards to start, if you are given an ace and a face card or ten,you've achieved twenty one-an instant win, as long as the dealer doesn't get twenty one as well. This twocard winning hand is called a "blackjack"; hence the name of the game!

Casino rules for chemin de fer are essentially the same at all casinos. After you acquire your first two cards, your possibilities are to hit, hold, double down, split your hand into 2 hands with a second wager equal to the first, or occasionally give up.

When you play chemin de fer at a betting house, be sure to understand which game table to select. Most betting houses have color coded chemin de fer tables according to the minimum wager the table accepts, typically 3 dollars, five dollars, $25 or 100 dollars. In any betting house, it is a given the $3 and five dollar tables will be filled, but they're exceptional for amateurs at twenty-one due to the fact that all of the cards are distributed face-up, unlike the one-up, 1down method at higher tables. So the next time-or the first instanceyou go to a betting house, be certain to sit down at the twenty-one tables and target for 21!
