THE HISTORY OF BLACKJACK
THE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST
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.
