Best Blackjack Games

Some people believe that Blackjack originated in French casinos in the early 1700s where it was known as "vingt-et-un" ("20 and 1") The game became known as Blackjack because if a player held a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the 1st two cards, the player was paid out extra. In 1931, Nevada re-legalized casino gambling where BlackJack became one of the primary games of chance offered to gamblers. As of 1989, only two states had legalized casino gambling. Since then, about 20 states have had a number of small time casinos sprout up in places such as Black Hawk and Cripple Creek, Colorado and in river boats on the Mississippi. Once all bets are down the dealer will deal two cards, one at a time, from left to right until both the players and dealer has two cards. In a shoe game the cards are dealt face up and you shouldn't touch the cards. You must keep your hand over the table at all times and if you are dealt any more cards to leave them on the table. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you win. Jacks, Queens and Kings always have a value of 10. Split - if your starting hand contains two cards of the same type (i.e. two 9's) you can split them up into two new hands. Insurance - is offered to the players if the dealer's up card is an Ace, to protect against a dealers Black Jack. Surrender - this decision is quite rare and not offered is most casinos. After you see your starting hand and the dealers up card and you don't think you can win, you have to give your cards back to the dealer immediately. If you surrender you will only lose half of your original bet.
