Playing cards, however was invented in China but not until 900 AD. The origin of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. With a Jack being a vital card and Spades being black, the game was called Blackjack. Gambling was legal out West from the 1850's to 1910, at which time Nevada made it a felony to operate a gambling game. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you win. Each card in Blackjack has a certain value. Card between 2 and 10 simply have their face value regardless of suit. Once all players have decided to "Stand," the dealer reveals the face down card known as the "Hole" card. The cards from 2 through 9 are valued as indicated. 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.
