Gambling

The origin of Blackjack is somewhat unclear. Some people believe that Blackjack originated in French casinos in 1700, when her as “vingt-et-un” (“20 and 1″) was known.

The game became known as Blackjack because if a player held a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the first two cards, the player is paid separately. So with a car jack and a spade is black life, the game was called Blackjack.

This game was played in the U.S. since the 1800s. But 1850-1910 was the legal gambling in the United States, Nevada, to play in an offense. In 1931 casino gambling legalized again in Nevada where Blackjack became one of the most important games for players.

The objective of blackjack is to get as close as possible to 21 without that over 21 (bust) to get. While numbered cards are worth their face value cards (Jack, Queen and King cards) are each worth 10 and the ace can be used as 1 or 11

The person (player or dealer) whose total value reaches the card as close as possible to 21 without exceeding 21 (bust) wins. A tie (push) results if the player and the dealer get equal values ??of the card.

The game is set in the following steps:

(1) The player places a bet.

(2) The dealer deals two cards (usually upward) for the player and one card for himself / herself.

(3) The dealer draws a second card for himself / herself and placed face down.

(4) The player is then asked if he / she wants another card (hit) or if he / she wants to stand.

(5) The player can hit as many blows as he / she wants until the total value of his / her card reaches 21 or he / she busts.

(6) If the player busts, the house (casino) will win.

(7) If the player is in a total value of cards that is as close as possible to 21 without going bust, the dealer will show the value of his / second card.

(8) If the value of the dealer’s second card gives him a Blackjack (21 in total), then the house (the casino) will win. The dealer must draw cards until the total value of its holding cards is 17 or more. If the dealer exceeds 21, then the player wins. The one closest to 21 points as possible without exceeding 21 (bust) is the winner.

Blackjack is so popular today as it was in 1800. It is by far the games played in a casino. This is mainly due to the fact that it is very easy to learn and play.
