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. Playing cards, however was invented in China but not until 900 AD. Chinese people began to shuffle paper money into various combinations and in China today the term for playing cards means paper tickets. The 52 card deck as we know it was originally called the French Pack. As of 1989, only two states had legalized casino gambling. Roughly 70 Native American Indian reservations operate or are building casinos as well. 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. In face down card games you can pick up the cards but you must not use more than one hand to pick them up. You must keep your hand over the table at all times and if you are dealt any more cards to leave them on the table. Going over 21 is called "Busting." You are playing only against the dealer. You win if your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand. Insurance - is offered to the players if the dealer's up card is an Ace, to protect against a dealers Black Jack. 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.
