Playing cards, however was invented in China but not until 900 AD. Gambling was legal out West from the 1850's to 1910, at which time Nevada made it a felony to operate a gambling game. Once all bets are down the dealer will deal two cards, one at a time, from left to right until both the players and dealer has two cards. In a shoe game the cards are dealt face up and you shouldn't touch the cards. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you win. Starting to the dealer's left side, the cards are dealt in a round one at a time to each player ending with the dealer receiving his second card face down. Depending on the game, the player's are either dealt their cards face up or face down. Jacks, Queens and Kings always have a value of 10. Blackjack can be won in a few different ways. An Ace can count as either 1 or 11. The cards from 2 through 9 are valued as indicated. 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. 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.
