Play Blackjack Rules
Playing cards, however was invented in China but
not until 900 AD. 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. 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. As some of you may recall, 1978 was the year casino
gambling was legalized in Atlantic City, New Jersey. 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. Going over 21 is called "Busting." You
are playing only against the dealer. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you
win. 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. An Ace can
count as either 1 or 11. The
10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10. Double - if you think you will win without getting more than one card you
double. You have to add an amount equal to your original wager and receive only one
card.
