Online Blackjack Entertainment
Playing cards, however was invented in China but
not until 900 AD. Some people believe that Blackjack originated
in French casinos in the early 1700s where it was known as "vingt-et-un"
("20 and 1") 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. Roughly 70 Native American
Indian reservations operate or are building casinos as well. In
face down card games you can pick up the cards but you must not use more than
one hand to pick them up. 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. Each card
in Blackjack has a certain value. 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! An Ace can
count as either 1 or 11. 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. 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.
