The History of Blackjack
Blackjack was invented
in the early 1700s and was originally called vingt-et-un, or
twenty-one.
Today it’s one of the
most popular casino card games in the world but it took awhile to
catch on.
A casino in
Evansville, Indiana, introduced the game to the States in 1910. The
only way casinos could get poker players to give the game a chance
was to award bonus payouts for valuable hands.
The biggest payout of
all, $10 for every $1 bet went to the player who held the ace of
spades and either of the black jacks. The name blackjack stuck.
