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. Gambling was legal out West from the 1850's to 1910, at which time Nevada made it a felony to operate a gambling game. As some of you may recall, 1978 was the year casino gambling was legalized in Atlantic City, New Jersey. As of 1989, only two states had legalized casino gambling. Once all bets are placed, each player and the dealer will receive two cards. Depending on the game, the player's are either dealt their cards face up or face down. Card between 2 and 10 simply have their face value regardless of suit. Once all players have decided to "Stand," the dealer reveals the face down card known as the "Hole" card. 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! 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.
