Blackjack

Several groups of Hale Makua Kahului residents spent the afternoon playing Blackjack. Not only is playing cards a fun way to pass the time, but there are also many benefits. Playing cards compels people to think about the game, the strategy, their odds of winning, etc. This helps to jog brain cells and increases concentration. The dual benefit of entertainment and honing intelligence makes card games a very popular activity with residents.
