BlackJack is a French invention, appearing in their casinos around 1700. Back then it was called "vingt-et-un" ("twenty-and-one"). Those who are acquainted with the game know that 21 is the winning number, so the French pragmatically named it for the number that guaranteed victory.
"21" was brought to the United States by French emigrants who settled in the territory that is modern day Louisiana. The fast action and simple rules made it fast favorite in the region. “21” was popular enough to be included in the first American casino that was built in New Orleans back 1800.
The game was quickly renamed by the frontier gamblers who were frequent guests at the casino. The name “Blackjack” came about because if a player held a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the first two cards, the player was paid out extra. So with Spades being black and the Jack being a vital card the nickname of “Blackjack” stuck, and it stays with the game to this day. |
