Gaming Internet Blackjack

The game became known as Blackjack because if a player held a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the 1st two cards, the player was paid out extra. 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 object of the game is to obtain a hand of cards totaling up to 21 or as close to 21 as possible without going over. Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. Once all bets are placed, each player and the dealer will receive two cards. 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. 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. If the dealer "Busts" or has a hand that exceeds 21 and your hand is less than 21, you win! Hit - if you are not satisfied with your current total you can ask the dealer to hit you which means he deals you another card in addition to your two. You are hit until you are satisfied with your total, or until you bust. Double - if you think you will win without getting more than one card you double. You have to add an amount equal to your original wager and receive only one card. 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.
