Online blackjack History and development

Blackjack as a high roller casino card game is extremely popular whether online or in land based casino. It is a game which is played with the dealer where you have to make a card count of 21. Above that it is a bust so the players have to see that they make a number which is closest to 21 to win. This card game is universally popular and is offered by all online multi gaming casinos. Though blackjack is a casino game and involves some amount of luck, it also needs knowledge and intelligence. This aspect of the game makes it more popular as it poses a challenge to the players.

Like many other high roller casino games blackjack also made its initial appearance in the French Salons where the nobility played a game of  ‘twenty one’ which they called “vingt-et-un”. The concept took shape and started spreading to other European countries. In Italy the game was called “sette e mezzo” where again the players had to  make  number twenty one with cards in hand. The rule everywhere was the same that the hand cannot exceed the total of twenty one.

From Europe the blackjack travelled to United States with the settlers from Europe and became a popular form of gambling. The high point came when the game was introduced in the then upcoming Las Vegas casinos and was legalized. The name ‘blackjack’ took shape for the first time in US casinos where the players could win ten times of what they wagered if they had Ace and Jack of Spades.

Slowly this card game developed more strategies the most important being Thorp’s technique. Thorp being a mathematician applied mathematical card counting to the game to prepare basic blackjack strategy. It consisted of the first blackjack chart which showed the players when to split, hit, stand or double. This gave a very definite edge to the players as to how to maximize their winnings against the dealer. It is applicable in both land casinos as well as online ones where the player can track the cards by observing the dealt cards and knowing which cards are left in the deck and wager accordingly.

Blackjack went through some more innovations and improvement and finally in 1990 the first software for online blackjack was developed and the blackjack lovers could play the game on internet from the comfort of their home. This took the game of blackjack to a height of popularity which was unheard of before. Today the game has improved immensely with fast and sophisticated software and licensed casinos who offer a safe game to the players.
