Virtual Blackjack Online

Playing cards, however was invented in China but not until 900 AD. With a Jack being a vital card and Spades being black, the game was called Blackjack. Gambling was legal out West from the 1850's to 1910, at which time Nevada made it a felony to operate a gambling game. Since then, about 20 states have had a number of small time casinos sprout up in places such as Black Hawk and Cripple Creek, Colorado and in river boats on the Mississippi. 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. Going over 21 is called "Busting." You are playing only against the dealer. Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. Once all bets are placed, each player and the dealer will receive two cards. 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. 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. Double - if you think you will win without getting more than one card you double. You have to add an amount equal to your original wager and receive only one card.
