Playing cards, however was invented in China but not until 900 AD. Chinese people began to shuffle paper money into various combinations and in China today the term for playing cards means paper tickets. The 52 card deck as we know it was originally called the French Pack. Some people believe that Blackjack originated in French casinos in the early 1700s where it was known as "vingt-et-un" ("20 and 1") With a Jack being a vital card and Spades being black, the game was called Blackjack. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you win. 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. 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. Blackjack can be won in a few different ways. Stand - you stand if you don't want any more cards. 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. 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.
