The origin of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. With a Jack being a vital card and Spades being black, the game was called Blackjack. 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. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you win. Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. Tables and online casinos will have a minimum bet required to play the game. 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. 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 the dealer "Busts" or has a hand that exceeds 21 and your hand is less than 21, you win! 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.

Upon opening the casino, players are greeted by a futuristic look and feel I actually first played at this Microgaming-powered casino over 3 years ago, but having not played for a long, long time I decided it was time to for a revisit The first thing that must be stated about this casino is that although it is Microgaming-powered, it only operates in a flash environment
