Blackjack Strategy Book

Dear Reader:

The fact that you are holding this book means there's a good chance that you're a beginning blackjack player. Or perhaps you've never played blackjack but you're intrigued by the game and you want to learn more about it. If so, you've come to the right place.

For centuries, gamblers have been drawn to blackjack's basic premise seeing how close they can come to the magic number 21 without going over it or being beaten by a better hand held by the dealer. It's a fascinating challenge, and one that keeps players coming back time and time again.

For being such an old game, blackjack has lost none of its allure. Instead, it enjoys a larger audience now than it ever has. Today, blackjack is the most widely played card game of its type in the world, and it shows no signs of losing its top position anytime soon. Card games may come and go, but blackjack is here to stay.

We're glad you've decided to join us in taking a closer look at the great game of blackjack, and we wish you good gaming!
