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. 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. Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. Depending on the game, the player's are either dealt their cards face up or face down. Each card in Blackjack has a certain value. Card between 2 and 10 simply have their face value regardless of suit. 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 "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. The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10.
