Gambling Virtual Blackjack

The origin of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. 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. 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. 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. 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. Insurance - is offered to the players if the dealer's up card is an Ace, to protect against a dealers Black Jack. 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.
