I believe that Blackjack is often referred to as the "game of skill" because, unlike many casino games that rely solely on luck, players can improve their chances of winning through strategic decision-making. The rules of the game allow players to influence the outcome by choosing when to hit, stand, double down, or split cards based on the situation at hand.

Absolutely, you're spot on! Blackjack is indeed considered to be a game of skill because players have the ability to make strategic decisions that can directly impact the outcome of each hand. By employing optimal playing strategies, such as knowing when to hit, stand, double down or split based on the cards they are dealt and the dealer's upcard, players can mathematically improve their odds of winning. This strategic element distinguishes blackjack from many other casino games where luck plays a more dominant role in determining the results. It's this blend of chance and skill that makes blackjack such a popular and engaging game for players who enjoy both the thrill of gambling and the challenge of strategic decision-making.
