Top Casino Blackjack Games
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") This game has been played in the United States since
the 1800's. Gambling was legal out West from the 1850's to 1910, at which time
Nevada made it a felony to operate a gambling game. As some of you may recall, 1978 was the year casino
gambling was legalized in Atlantic City, New Jersey. 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. If the
dealer's hand is between 17 and 21, he or she may not draw any additional card.
If the dealer's hand is 16 or below, cards must be drawn until the dealer's hand
has a value of 17 or higher. Blackjack can be won in a few different ways. 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. 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. Stand
- you stand if you don't want any more cards.
