Blackjack Internet Casinos

Playing cards, however was invented in China but not until 900 AD. The origin of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. This game has been played in the United States since the 1800's. 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. Roughly 70 Native American Indian reservations operate or are building casinos as well. Starting to the dealer's left side, the cards are dealt in a round one at a time to each player ending with the dealer receiving his second card face down. Card between 2 and 10 simply have their face value regardless of suit. Jacks, Queens and Kings always have a value of 10. An Ace can count as 1 or 11 depending on what is most beneficial to your hand. Player's add the value of their cards and either decide to "Stick" or "Stand" with their current cards or receive another card, called a "Hit" or "Draw," hopefully raising their total closer to 21 without going over. You win if your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand. An Ace can count as either 1 or 11. 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.
