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. The blackjack table seats 1 to 7 players and each player has a betting square printed in front of them on the felt and each table will have a minimum bet which you should check before sitting down. 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. Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. Tables and online casinos will have a minimum bet required to play the game. 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. If your first two cards total 21, you have Blackjack and win 3:2 odds on your bet automatically unless the dealer draws Blackjack as well causing a tie or a "Push." In the case of a tie, no money is won or lost. If the dealer "Busts" or has a hand that exceeds 21 and your hand is less than 21, you win! The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10. Stand - you stand if you don't want any more cards. Insurance - is offered to the players if the dealer's up card is an Ace, to protect against a dealers Black Jack.
