European Blackjack, known also as 21 (Twenty-one), is very close to regular Blackjack. You can quickly and easily learn the basics of the game and then playing blackjack turns to bring much fun.

For a Player the main goal of European Blackjack is to closely come to 21 without exceeding this point, but at the same time to beat the Dealer's hand by getting a higher total. Before the Player receives any cards, he must first place a wager. Having made an initial wager, the Player receives two cards face-up. The Dealer gets one card face-up. A second card (or hole card) is not given to the Dealer until the time when the Player has made all the decisions, doubling and splitting included. If the total of the Player's hand occurs to be closer to 21 than the Dealer's one, then the Player wins the same amount he has wagered. If the Dealer exceeds 21 then the Player also wins and he has not busted.

If the total of the Player's hand exceeds 21, the Player loses his wager amount. There is also a Download Casino version which you can use, in this version you can play one or two hands against the Dealer.
