How to Play the Most Popular Casino Games

21:
21 is the same as blackjack, it is just another name for the game. As indicated by the name the goal is to make a hand that adds up to 21. Face cards are all worth 10 points and an ace can be worth 1 or 11 points, which is up to you. Unlike in poker in this game you are not playing against the other players and the dealer, it I just the dealer. In blackjack any player who has a better hand then the dealer wins. The game is started when the dealer gives each person at the table 2 cards. He will then give each player a chance to take more cads or take none. Anyone who goes over 21 has "busted" which means they lose even if the dealer also goes over.

Each number is colored in either red or black and players also have the option to bet on what color the winning number will be and if it will be an odd or an even number.
