21 Burn Blackjack




Unlike most casino games, blackjack gives the player the ability to influence their game: it allows the player to use certain options and to vary their game just like their bets according to their criteria.

Blackjack was first played in French casinos under the name of "Vingt-et-un" in the 18th century. In France, blackjack was again authorized in 1969, having since known a certain popularity.

When blackjack (also written black jack, and black jack in French) was introduced in the United States, it was not very popular. The casinos then tried to attract the players by creating different bonuses. The name blackjack comes from a casino bonus where the player holds both the jack and the ace of spades at the same time and must make a payment of 10: 1. Since the jack of spades in English was of prime importance and the cards of spades are black, the name of blackjack was adopted, and has remained to this day, although the bonus associated with this hand has been abolished.

Even more sophisticated gambling strategies were introduced in the 1970s as computers became accessible enough to perform complex calculations of card counting and calculating statistics. Mathematicians, scientists, teachers, and other intellectuals have published a number of strategy and statistics books on blackjack to the point of scaring casino owners, fearing that they will see their profits diminished. Their reaction was to abandon the simple card game to a shoe containing several decks of cards. They then introduced the games to 5, 6 and eight decks of cards per blackjack game. This greatly complicates the situation for mid-level players.
