Internet Blackjack Cards

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") 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. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you win. Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. Once all bets are placed, each player and the dealer will receive two cards. 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. 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. Once all players have decided to "Stand," the dealer reveals the face down card known as the "Hole" card. Insurance - is offered to the players if the dealer's up card is an Ace, to protect against a dealers Black Jack.
