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. Playing cards, however was invented in China but not until 900 AD. 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. With a Jack being a vital card and Spades being black, the game was called Blackjack. This game has been played in the United States since the 1800's. Gambling was legal out West from the 1850's to 1910, at which time Nevada made it a felony to operate a gambling game. In face down card games you can pick up the cards but you must not use more than one hand to pick them up. 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. 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. Once all players have decided to "Stand," the dealer reveals the face down card known as the "Hole" card. 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. 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.
