How to Play Blackjack (and Why It’s Perfect for Your Next Event)
Blackjack is one of the most popular and exciting casino games in the world. Known for its mix of strategy, luck, and fast‑paced action, it’s the perfect game for both seasoned players and beginners. At Vegas Concepts, we bring this timeless game to life at our casino parties, corporate events, weddings, and fundraisers—complete with professional dealers and authentic tables.
A Brief History of Blackjack
Blackjack has roots in 17th‑century France, where it was known as Vingt‑et‑Un (French for “21”). The game made its way to America in the 1800s, where casinos began offering special bonuses, such as a payout for a hand containing the Ace of Spades and a blackjack (hence the name “Blackjack”). Today, it’s a global favorite and a centerpiece at any casino‑themed party.
How to Play Blackjack
The goal of Blackjack is simple: beat the dealer without going over 21. Here’s how a typical round works:
Place Your Bet – Each player places their chips in the betting circle.
Cards Are Dealt – Both player and dealer get two cards. Players’ cards are face up; the dealer shows one card face up and one face down.
Make Your Move – Players can:
Hit: Take another card to get closer to 21.
Stand: Keep your current total.
Double Down: Double your bet and receive just one more card.
Split: If you have two of the same card, you can split them into two hands.
Dealer’s Turn – After all players finish, the dealer reveals their hidden card and must hit until reaching at least 17.
Winning the Hand – Whoever is closer to 21 without going over wins! If you hit exactly 21 with your first two cards (Ace + 10-value card), you’ve got “Blackjack.”
