A little Blackjack history for you...




Blackjack is a classic casino card game that has been enjoyed by gamblers for generations. The game is also known as 21, and its origins can be traced back to the early 17th century. While the exact history of blackjack is somewhat murky, it is believed to have originated in France.

The French game Vingt-et-Un, which means "21" in French, is considered to be the predecessor to modern-day blackjack. Vingt-et-Un was a popular game during the 18th century, and it was played in French casinos. The game was similar to blackjack, with players trying to get a hand that added up to 21.



One of the key differences between Vingt-et-Un and modern-day blackjack is that the dealer was allowed to take a second card before the players acted. This gave the dealer an advantage, as they had more information about the cards in play.

In the early 19th century, blackjack made its way to the United States, where it quickly became a popular casino game. However, casinos in the US modified the rules of Vingt-et-Un, making it slightly more challenging for players to win.

One of the key changes made by US casinos was to allow the dealer to take only one card before the players acted. This made the game more challenging for players, as they didn't have as much information about the cards in play. Additionally, casinos began offering bonuses to players who were dealt a hand that included an ace of spades and a jack of clubs or jack of spades. This hand was known as a "blackjack," and the name stuck even after the bonuses were discontinued.

Over time, blackjack became more and more popular in the US, and casinos began to adopt additional rules to make the game even more challenging. One of these rules was to require the dealer to stand on a soft 17, which means a hand that includes an ace that could be counted as 11 or 1.

In the mid-20th century, blackjack became even more popular thanks to the publication of Edward O. Thorp's book "Beat the Dealer." The book outlined a strategy for playing blackjack that was based on mathematics and statistics, and it was a huge hit with gamblers. Today, blackjack remains one of the most popular casino games in the world. While the rules of the game have evolved over time, the basic objective remains the same: to get a hand that adds up to 21 without going over.



In recent years, online blackjack has become increasingly popular, allowing players to enjoy the game from the comfort of their own homes. Online blackjack games are designed to replicate the experience of playing in a physical casino, with realistic graphics and sound effects. In conclusion, blackjack has a rich and fascinating history that dates back centuries. While the origins of the game are somewhat shrouded in mystery, it is clear that it has been enjoyed by gamblers for generations. Today, blackjack remains a beloved casino game that is played around the world, both in physical casinos and online.
