Virtual Blackjack Cards

Some people believe that Blackjack originated in French casinos in the early 1700s where it was known as "vingt-et-un" ("20 and 1") Gambling was legal out West from the 1850's to 1910, at which time Nevada made it a felony to operate a gambling game. The blackjack table seats 1 to 7 players and each player has a betting square printed in front of them on the felt and each table will have a minimum bet which you should check before sitting down. In face down card games you can pick up the cards but you must not use more than one hand to pick them up. Tables and online casinos will have a minimum bet required to play the game. Once all bets are placed, each player and the dealer will receive two cards. Each card in Blackjack has a certain value. 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. Blackjack can be won in a few different ways. 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. The cards from 2 through 9 are valued as indicated. Insurance - is offered to the players if the dealer's up card is an Ace, to protect against a dealers Black Jack.
