Play Blackjack Games

Playing cards, however was invented in China but not until 900 AD. As some of you may recall, 1978 was the year casino gambling was legalized in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The object of the game is to obtain a hand of cards totaling up to 21 or as close to 21 as possible without going over. Going over 21 is called "Busting." You are playing only against the dealer. Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. Once all bets are placed, each player and the dealer will receive two cards. Each card in Blackjack has a certain value. 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. 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. The cards from 2 through 9 are valued as indicated. The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10. 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.
