Casino Gaming Internet Blackjack

The origin of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. This game has been played in the United States since the 1800's. As of 1989, only two states had legalized casino gambling. 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. Going over 21 is called "Busting." You are playing only against the dealer. Once all bets are placed, each player and the dealer will receive two cards. Jacks, Queens and Kings always have a value of 10. You win if your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand. An Ace can count as either 1 or 11. The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10. 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.
