Free Casino Blackjack Games

Playing cards, however was invented in China but not until 900 AD. The origin of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. With a Jack being a vital card and Spades being black, the game was called Blackjack. Since then, about 20 states have had a number of small time casinos sprout up in places such as Black Hawk and Cripple Creek, Colorado and in river boats on the Mississippi. Going over 21 is called "Busting." You are playing only against the dealer. Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. Starting to the dealer's left side, the cards are dealt in a round one at a time to each player ending with the dealer receiving his second card face down. Jacks, Queens and Kings always have a value of 10. 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. You win if your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand. Double - if you think you will win without getting more than one card you double. You have to add an amount equal to your original wager and receive only one card.
