Actually, the game evolved from France (Vingt et Un).
“Blackjack” was a US land casino invention of a promotion where the Ace of Spades and a black Jack combination was given a bonus payout.
Blackjack today is the second most popular casino game in land casinos, around the globe.
Some say it is time for blackjack to be autonomous, on its own – just like the poker.
