Free Play Blackjack
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. In 1931, Nevada re-legalized
casino gambling where BlackJack became one of the primary games of chance
offered to gamblers. 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. 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. Depending on the
game, the player's are either dealt their cards face up or face down. If the dealer "Busts" or
has a hand that exceeds 21 and your hand is less than 21, you win! 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.
