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. The origin of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. 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. The blackjack table seats 1 to 7 players and each player has a betting square printed in front of them on the felt and each table will have a minimum bet which you should check before sitting down. 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. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you win. Depending on the game, the player's are either dealt their cards face up or face down. Each card in Blackjack has a certain value. 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. Once all players have decided to "Stand," the dealer reveals the face down card known as the "Hole" card. An Ace can count as either 1 or 11.
