The History of Atlantic City Blackjack
Few people realize that the game of Blackjack has its origins in Ancient Gaul. Well, actually not quite so ancient. The earliest evidence we have of a game similar to today's blackjack was in eighteenth century France where they used to play a game called vingt-et-un ("twenty-and-one"). Similar to today's blackjack, the goal was to attain a hand of playing cards that when added up came closer to twenty-one than the dealer, without going over.
Of course, over the years, there have been many variants of Blackjack. While the basic concept of "twenty-one" is the same, the different games have minor twists which can have huge impacts on the odds.
From the Streets of Paris to the Shores of Atlantic City
Take Atlantic City Blackjack for example. In Atlantic City Blackjack, the dealer must draw to all totals of 16 or less, and otherwise stand. Players may double down or split on the first hand. You can double after a split, but you can't split more than once. None of these guys sitting at tables with ten hands are going at once!
Atlantic City Rules are among the most favorable to the player as you will find. The slight house edge is even smaller in Atlantic City, which may explain why this is becoming one of the most popular forms of Blackjack played in either casinos or online. All Atlantic City Blackjack games play with the same odds, so once you get a good feeling for the system, you can feel comfortable that no changes will be thrown in your way.
Why there are better odds in Atlantic City Blackjack
Atlantic City has always had the image of a scrappy gambling town trying to compete with the bigger, glitzier Las Vegas. In order to attract the real high rollers to Jersey, some games were adopted and modified to slightly increase the player percentage (in other words, reduce the house edge). For many people, this is enough to make them come to Atlantic City. Similarly, online casinos are always trying to become the most poplar on the internet. One way is by offering games like Atlantic City Blackjack which are easy to play and give players a good shot at making some money.
Today, of course, you do not have to actually travel to Atlantic City to play Atlantic City Blackjack. Thanks to the miracle of the internet and the internet casino, you can play online Atlantic City Blackjack, as well as many other variations of online blackjack, right in your own home.
