To Play Blackjack Software

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. 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. Some people believe that Blackjack originated in French casinos in the early 1700s where it was known as "vingt-et-un" ("20 and 1") 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. As some of you may recall, 1978 was the year casino gambling was legalized in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The object of the game is to obtain a hand of cards totaling up to 21 or as close to 21 as possible without going over. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you win. Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. Once all players have decided to "Stand," the dealer reveals the face down card known as the "Hole" card. If the dealer "Busts" or has a hand that exceeds 21 and your hand is less than 21, you win! An Ace can count as either 1 or 11. 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.
