In casino play, the dealer remains standing, and the players are seated. In the casino version, the house is the dealer (a 'permanent bank'). As a popular home game, it is played with slightly different rules. Today, Blackjack is the one card game that can be found in every American gambling casino.
While the popularity of Blackjack dates from World War I, its roots go back to the 1760s in France, where it is called Vingt-et-Un (French for 21). But even for the casual participant who plays a reasonably good game, the casino odds are less, making Blackjack one of the most attractive casino games for the player.
