On Net Blackjack Card

The origin of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. 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 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. 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. Card between 2 and 10 simply have their face value regardless of suit. Once all players have decided to "Stand," the dealer reveals the face down card known as the "Hole" card. Blackjack can be won in a few different ways. 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! Surrender - this decision is quite rare and not offered is most casinos. After you see your starting hand and the dealers up card and you don't think you can win, you have to give your cards back to the dealer immediately. If you surrender you will only lose half of your original bet.
