Blackjack Casino Online Game

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. Gambling was legal out West from the 1850's to 1910, at which time Nevada made it a felony to operate a gambling game. In face down card games you can pick up the cards but you must not use more than one hand to pick them up. The object of the game is to obtain a hand of cards totaling up to 21 or as close to 21 as possible without going over. Once all bets are placed, each player and the dealer will receive two cards. Once all players have decided to "Stand," the dealer reveals the face down card known as the "Hole" card. If the dealer's hand is between 17 and 21, he or she may not draw any additional card. If the dealer's hand is 16 or below, cards must be drawn until the dealer's hand has a value of 17 or higher. An Ace can count as either 1 or 11. The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10. Hit - if you are not satisfied with your current total you can ask the dealer to hit you which means he deals you another card in addition to your two. You are hit until you are satisfied with your total, or until you bust. Double - if you think you will win without getting more than one card you double. You have to add an amount equal to your original wager and receive only one card. 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.
