Play Blackjack Gambling Information

Blackjack is probably the most popular of all casino and online casino games primarily due to the fact that, when played correctly, the odds of winning are about even with the house. 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. As some of you may recall, 1978 was the year casino gambling was legalized in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. 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. Card between 2 and 10 simply have their face value regardless of suit. 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. An Ace can count as either 1 or 11. The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10. 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. 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.
