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. The origin
of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. 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 of 1989, only two states
had legalized casino gambling. 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. 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. Depending on the
game, the player's are either dealt their cards face up or face down. 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
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. Insurance - is offered to the players if the dealer's up card is an Ace, to protect against a dealers Black
Jack.
