Some people believe that Blackjack originatedin 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 playerheld a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the 1st two cards, the player waspaid out extra. Since then, about 20 states have had a number ofsmall time casinos sprout up in places such as Black Hawk and Cripple Creek,Colorado and in river boats on the Mississippi. Roughly 70 Native AmericanIndian reservations operate or are building casinos as well. You must keep your hand over the table at all timesand if you are dealt any more cards to leave them on the table. Once all bets areplaced, each player and the dealer will receive two cards.

AnAce 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 21without going over.
