The movie "21" is now playing in theaters across the world and online casino are looking to capitalize on the film as well. The movie is based on the best selling book, Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich and the movie is sure to spark gambling fever around the world, especially with Blackjack.

The movie is about Ben Campbell a brilliant MIT student who needs to pay for his school tuition and finds the answer by playing cards. He is recruited to join a group of the school's most gifted students that go to Las Vegas every weekend with fake I.D.'s and the knowledge to turn the odds at Blackjack in their favor.

With their math professor leading the way they crack the code by counting cards and employing an intricate system of signals to beat the casinos big time. But as they get better they get greedy and start to push the limits, although counting cards isn't illegal it is something that will at least get you tossed out on your rear if you get caught at a casino.

Online Blackjack is among the most popular games to play running behind slots and poker and online casino's are gearing up for the Blackjack frenzy after people get inspired to play after watching the "21" movie.

Payton O'Brien, Senior Editor of Gambling911 commented, "Our online casino advertisers are hoping that a whole new market of blackjack players emerges from the buzz surrounding this film."

"We have already witnessed how poker television shows have fueled the online poker craze, let's see if the same can happen with online blackjack and if this film '21' is the initiator," O'Brien said.
