Chemin de Fer is one of the most popular games gambled on in betting houses. Black jack is also known as 21 or "pontoon." The game is a mix of chance and ability combined with decision-making. The game has adapted over a period of time. Players have specialized in certain skills like "card counting," which allows them to shift the edge in the game in their direction. The game has been in existence since the 1700s. References can be located in historical scriptures to a game known as "vingt-et-un," which means twenty one in French, and is thought of as the precursor to blackjack.

The game was initially not very popular in the states. This caused the gambling houses trying various things like offering a reward in case of a ten to one payout, if the player was dealt an ace of spades and a black jack. The jack could be either clubs or spades. Once the game got well-liked, the bonus payout quickly disappeared from the rules.

Any hand which achieves a total of twenty one is considered a winner. The value should not exceed twenty one, if it does the hand is said to be "bust." The target of any player is to beat the dealer. If the blackjack player and the casino both have an identical score, it is called "push" (a tie), with neither the black jack player nor the dealer coming away with a win on the hand.
