Play Internet Blackjack Net

Some people believe that Blackjack originated in French casinos in the early 1700s where it was known as "vingt-et-un" ("20 and 1") 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. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you win. 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. 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. 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. 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.
