Playing cards, however was invented in China but not until 900 AD. The origin of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. Some people believe that Blackjack originated in French casinos in the early 1700s where it was known as "vingt-et-un" ("20 and 1") With a Jack being a vital card and Spades being black, the game was called Blackjack. 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 of 1989, only two states had legalized casino gambling. 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. 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. Stand - you stand if you don't want any more cards.
