Blackjack Strategies Game Bonuses

The origin of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. Some people believe that Blackjack originated in French casinos in the early 1700s where it was known as "vingt-et-un" ("20 and 1") The game became known as Blackjack because if a player held a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the 1st two cards, the player was paid out extra. 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. Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. Card between 2 and 10 simply have their face value regardless of suit. 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. 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. 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.
