The game of Blackjack has been around for well over 400 years, and over these years it has developed from a very boring, high house edge game into one with dozens of different variants some of which offer the lowest house edge of any casino game.
When the game was first introduced into the US it was called twenty one and players avoided it in droves! Casino owners decided to give it a quick makeover and offer a bonus payout once a player was dealt an Ace of Spades with any black Jack.
In those days this payout was 10-1! However once the game was established they quickly removed this bonus payout, which had led to this new game now being commonly known as Blackjack instead of twenty one.
Blackjack Cheats, Card Counters and Collusion
However one thing remained, and that was the fact that Blackjack is beatable by fair means or foul, all manner of cheats have made small fortunes by manipulating the game to their advantage and this had made the game of Blackjack a very labour intensive one with Dealers, Pit Bosses and the eye in the sky operators all taking a role in ensuring the game is honest.
Collusion however is any casinos’ worst nightmare, and if you check out our Blackjack cheats section you will discover all manner of ways in which players, often with the help of a casino employee have pulled off a perfect or sometimes not so perfect scam!
Card counters have been around since the early days of Blackjack and whilst this is not illegal it is often frowned upon by casino management, some players seem to think counting cards is easy and will soon put them on the paths to riches, however nothing is further from the truth.
We have a complete section on the ins and outs of card counting so make sure you stop by and check it out if this is something that interests you, but be warned it takes a lot of time and effort to be a good card counter and even longer to become a professional.
