Play Internet Blackjack Gambling
Playing cards, however was invented in China but
not until 900 AD. The origin
of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. Some people believe that Blackjack originated
in French casinos in the early 1700s where it was known as "vingt-et-un"
("20 and 1") As of 1989, only two states
had legalized casino gambling. 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. Going over 21 is called "Busting." You
are playing only against the dealer. 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. The
10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10. Hit - if you are not satisfied with your current total you can ask the dealer to hit you which means he deals you another card in addition to your
two. You are hit until you are satisfied with your total, or until you bust. 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. 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.
