Gaming Blackjack Cards
Playing cards, however was invented in China but
not until 900 AD. This game has been played in the United States since
the 1800's. As of 1989, only two states
had legalized casino gambling. 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. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you
win. Once all bets are
placed, each player and the dealer will receive two cards. Once all players have decided to "Stand," the
dealer reveals the face down card known as the "Hole" card. 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. You win if your
hand is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand. If the dealer "Busts" or
has a hand that exceeds 21 and your hand is less than 21, you win! 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.
