Blackjack Play Free Casino

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. Gambling was legal out West from the 1850's to 1910, at which time Nevada made it a felony to operate a gambling game. 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. Going over 21 is called "Busting." You are playing only against the dealer. Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. Once all bets are placed, each player and the dealer will receive two cards. Each card in Blackjack has a certain value. 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. Blackjack can be won in a few different ways. The cards from 2 through 9 are valued as indicated. The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10.
