On Net Blackjack Game

The origin of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. With a Jack being a vital card and Spades being black, the game was called Blackjack. 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. 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. Tables and online casinos will have a minimum bet required to play the game. Once all players have decided to "Stand," the dealer reveals the face down card known as the "Hole" card. If the dealer's hand is between 17 and 21, he or she may not draw any additional card. If the dealer's hand is 16 or below, cards must be drawn until the dealer's hand has a value of 17 or higher. 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. If the dealer "Busts" or has a hand that exceeds 21 and your hand is less than 21, you win! The cards from 2 through 9 are valued as indicated. 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.
