Canadian Mountie

A Brief History of Blackjack
A Brief History of Blackjack Modern-day Blackjack is thought to be derived from the 17th- and 18th- century French game ‘vingt-et-un’, or ‘twenty-one’. But, that is not the earliest sign of a game similar to Blackjack. Similar games can be found as many as 100 years prior to that. The Spanish writer Cervantes mentions a game ‘ventiuna’ or ‘twenty-one’ in his tale ‘Rinconete y Cortadillo’. In the story, the game is played by trying to reach 21 without busting. Aces are valued at 1 or 11.
