Blackjack is a casino card game. In its simplest form, the objective is to be the first player to reach the target total of 21 points or bust, by drawing cards from a standard 52-card standard deck until a natural total is achieved. There are three basic strategies for Blackjack. In strategy 1, the dealer starts with an Ace and is allowed to split, (i.e. deal cards from the top of the deck to you), and when the sum of the cards is 21, you win a large amount of money.
