Much of blackjack&#39;s popularity is due to the mix of chance with elements of skill, and the publicity that surrounds card counting (keeping track of which cards have been played since the last shuffle). Blackjack&#39;s precursor was vingt-et-un (&quot;twenty-one&quot;), which originated in French casinos around 1700, and did not offer the 3:2 bonus for a two-card 21.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When blackjack was first introduced in the United States it was not very popular, so gambling houses tried offering various bonus payouts to get the players to the tables. One such bonus was a 10-to-1 payout if the player&#39;s hand consisted of the ace of spades and a black Jack (either the Jack of clubs or the Jack of spades). This hand was called a &quot;blackjack&quot; and the name stuck to the game even though the bonus payout was soon abolished. As the game is currently played, a &quot;blackjack&quot; may not necessarily contain a jack or any black cards at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to get up to $1000 bonus please, visit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://banner.eurogrand.com/cgi-bin/redir.cgi?id=N&amp;member=madbet&quot;&gt;http://banner.eurogrand.com/cgi-bin/redir.cgi?id=N&amp;amp;member=madbet&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://blackjackgamblingscout.blogspot.com/2007/01/blackjack.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384845247765777290.post-5594157959370152621</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Jan 2007 14:52:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-01-16T14:02:54.502-08:00</atom:updated><title>Welcome to blackjackgamblingscout.blogspot.com</title><description>Blackjack scout is the easiest way to learn on different online casinos providing this game,  learn tips and tactics, read news and comment different service providers.</description><link>http://blackjackgamblingscout.blogspot.com/2007/01/welcome-to-blackjackscoutblogspotcom.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
