"Blackjack is a card game played against "The House" or a "dealer." The object is to get cards totaling as close to 21 as possible without going over 21."

This blackjack game may be the very first blackjack video game and even card game. Honour which it might share with [Hit Me](/software/hit-me/) another blackjack video game released the same year (1976) in the arcades by Ramtek.

Not surprinsingly, RCA released a [very similar game](/software/blackjack-tv-casino-i/) (but in black & white) the following year for its [RCA Studio II](/museum/rca-studio-ii/) system.
