Winning Blackjack Casino Games

The origin of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. The game became known as Blackjack because if a player held a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the 1st two cards, the player was paid out extra. Roughly 70 Native American Indian reservations operate or are building casinos as well. Once all bets are down the dealer will deal two cards, one at a time, from left to right until both the players and dealer has two cards. In a shoe game the cards are dealt face up and you shouldn't touch the cards. In face down card games you can pick up the cards but you must not use more than one hand to pick them up. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you win. Players place their bets prior to the cards being dealt. If the dealer "Busts" or has a hand that exceeds 21 and your hand is less than 21, you win! 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. Split - if your starting hand contains two cards of the same type (i.e. two 9's) you can split them up into two new hands. Insurance - is offered to the players if the dealer's up card is an Ace, to protect against a dealers Black Jack. Surrender - this decision is quite rare and not offered is most casinos. After you see your starting hand and the dealers up card and you don't think you can win, you have to give your cards back to the dealer immediately. If you surrender you will only lose half of your original bet.
