Game Blackjack Gambling
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. This game has been played in the United States since
the 1800's. 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. In
face down card games you can pick up the cards but you must not use more than
one hand to pick them up. Going over 21 is called "Busting." You
are playing only against the dealer. 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. The
10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10. Stand
- you stand if you don't want any more cards. 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. 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.
