History
Blackjack - History
Although unclear, blackjack history is
usually traced back as an evolution of other French games such as
"chemin de fer" and "French Ferme". Around the 1700's in French
casinos it was called first "vingt - et - un" (twenty - and - one)
and gradually developed into blackjack. It has been in United States
since the 1800's.
An early bet, which awarded the holder of
the cards with a payment of 10 to 1, was getting a jack of spades
and an ace of spades, both black, as the first two cards. This bet
gave the game called 21, its currently more known name - blackjack.
However, the name outlived its source and this bet (probably the
best part of blackjack history) no longer exists.
Blackjack
leaped into public awareness in the late 1950's and the 1960's when
mathematical information was published that showed sophisticated
gamblers how they could play nearly even with the casino and perhaps
gain a slight edge. One of these books
became so popular that it made the New York Times bestseller list.
Blackjacks then become number one table game in the U.S. as it has
remained right to these days. The newly gained popularity and all of
the media attention it generated helped the casinos to make a
fortune.
However, the casinos joy over a success of a book
that told the public how to beat the house did not last long, and
serious steps were taken in order to secure their profit. They tried
to change the rules of blackjack to make it more difficult to win.
This didn't last long because people protested by not playing the
new "rules version of blackjack and the resulting loss of revenue
quickly forced the casinos to go back to the original rules.
Although the last move didn't succeed, others did. In search
of ways to increase their odds, casinos introduced multiple decks,
shuffling machines, and frequent and early shuffling among other
changes. Together with the fact that the methods described in the
books were difficult to master even by those who were patient and
clever enough to understand them, the casinos increased their edge
back to odds they considered acceptable. All the rest, as we say, is
blackjack history.
