Blackjack Software Casino Games

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") 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 1931, Nevada re-legalized casino gambling where BlackJack became one of the primary games of chance offered to gamblers. 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. Going over 21 is called "Busting." You are playing only against the dealer. Depending on the game, the player's are either dealt their cards face up or face down. 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. If the dealer "Busts" or has a hand that exceeds 21 and your hand is less than 21, you win! The cards from 2 through 9 are valued as indicated. The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10.
