A Brief History

Blackjack began in France way back in the 18th Century when it appeared in the form of a game called 'vingt et un' or twenty one. Whilst its exact origins in France are unclear, it is believed that the game sprang from other French games called ' Chemin de Fer' and 'French Ferme'.

Blackjack is named as such because if a player got a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the first two cards, the player was additionally remunerated.

Around the 1800's the game made its way across the Atlantic to America. Gambling was legal in the western States from the 1850's to 1910, at which time Nevada made it a felony to operate a gambling game.

In 1931, Nevada re-legalized casino gambling, and blackjack became one of the primary games of chance offered to gamblers. Blackjack remains the most popular card game in the world.
