Net Play Blackjack Game

Gambling was legal out West from the 1850's to 1910, at which time Nevada made it a felony to operate a gambling game. Since then, about 20 states have had a number of small time casinos sprout up in places such as Black Hawk and Cripple Creek, Colorado and in river boats on the Mississippi. Once all bets are down the dealer will deal two cards, one at a time, from left to right until both the players and dealer has two cards. In a shoe game the cards are dealt face up and you shouldn't touch the cards. 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. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you win. Card between 2 and 10 simply have their face value regardless of suit. 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. 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. 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. Insurance - is offered to the players if the dealer's up card is an Ace, to protect against a dealers Black Jack.
