With this in mind, join us as we delve into the history of Blackjack, tracing its origins, its rise to popularity, and its evolution to online casinos where different variations can be played, including live Blackjack games online.

The origins of Blackjack

It’s believed that Blackjack evolved from several European card games played in the 17th and 18th centuries. One of the earliest references to a game resembling Blackjack is found in a Spanish book by Miguel de Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote, which was published in 1601. In the book, Cervantes mentions a game called Ventiuna – Spanish for twenty-one, which had rules similar to modern Blackjack.

In France, a game called Vingt-et-Un, which also translates to twenty-one, was popular during the 1700s. This game was played in the French royal court and had many similarities to modern-day Blackjack.

Meanwhile, in Italy, a game called Sette e Mezzo (Seven and a Half) also shared several features with Blackjack, particularly the objective of reaching a certain numerical value without exceeding it.

The evolution and popularisation of Blackjack

The game, known as Twenty-One at the time, crossed the Atlantic Ocean with European immigrants and gained traction in the United States during the 19th century.

The popularity of Blackjack in the United States can be significantly attributed to Eleanor Dumont, a renowned 19th-century card dealer.

Known as Madame Moustache, Dumont opened a gaming establishment aptly named Vingt-et-Un, in Nevada City, California, where she introduced the game of the same name.

Her establishment had a large clientele, spreading the game's popularity across the American West. Dumont's influence and reputation as one of the first female dealers in the country played a crucial role in embedding Blackjack into the fabric of American gaming culture.

However, as time went on, Vingt-et-Un was not found to be as popular as other card games. That changed when casinos began to offer special bonuses to attract players.

One such bonus was a 10-to-one payout if a player's hand consisted of the Ace of Spades and a black Jack. This bonus led to the game being referred to as Blackjack, and despite the bonus fading out, the name stuck.

Blackjack's popularity soared in the early 20th century, especially in Nevada, after gaming was legalised in 1931. Casinos in Las Vegas embraced Blackjack, and the game quickly became a favourite.

The Blackjack in online casinos

The 1990s saw the introduction of the Internet, and Blackjack became one of the first games to debut at the first online casino sites. These online platforms allowed for various versions of Blackjack to be played from anywhere you had Internet access, each with slightly different rules and betting options.

Online Blackjack uses Random Number Generators (RNGs) to ensure fairness and randomness. An RNG is a computer algorithm that generates a sequence of numbers or symbols that cannot be predicted, ensuring that each hand dealt is independent of previous hands. This technology has been critical in maintaining the integrity of the game online.

Live Blackjack online

As technology continued to evolve, online casino sites saw the introduction of live dealer games.

Live online Blackjack uses state-of-the-art technology to live stream the game from a specialist studio, directly to your device. Hosted by a real dealer, live Blackjack replicates land-based gameplay.

Its clear Blackjack has come a long way from its origins in European card games to become a global casino favourite. Its journey from the royal courts of France and the Spanish literary references to the Las Vegas casinos and virtual tables of online platforms shows how the iconic game has stood the test of time.
