Casino Blackjack Strategy Top

Blackjack is probably the most popular of all casino and online casino games primarily due to the fact that, when played correctly, the odds of winning are about even with the house. Some people believe that Blackjack originated in French casinos in the early 1700s where it was known as "vingt-et-un" ("20 and 1") This game has been played in the United States since the 1800's. 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. Once all bets are down the dealer will deal two cards, one at a time, from left to right until both the players and dealer has two cards. In a shoe game the cards are dealt face up and you shouldn't touch the cards. You must keep your hand over the table at all times and if you are dealt any more cards to leave them on the table. Tables and online casinos will have a minimum bet required to play the game. Depending on the game, the player's are either dealt their cards face up or face down. Once all players have decided to "Stand," the dealer reveals the face down card known as the "Hole" card. Stand - you stand if you don't want any more cards. Split - if your starting hand contains two cards of the same type (i.e. two 9's) you can split them up into two new hands. Surrender - this decision is quite rare and not offered is most casinos. After you see your starting hand and the dealers up card and you don't think you can win, you have to give your cards back to the dealer immediately. If you surrender you will only lose half of your original bet.
