A Brief History of Blackjack
The history of Blackjack is very long, and dates back at least three hundred years. It is not known for certain where the blackjack game originated in Spain or France, where almost simultaneously at the turn of the 17th - 18th centuries prototypes of modern blackjack arose. Some sources generally attribute its origins to many thousands of years ago, to the time of Ancient Rome.
However, at the moment, the founder of blackjack is considered the game Trentuno (31) invented in Italy. It was Trentuno that was historically recorded based on the mention in the sermon of Bernadino from Siena against gambling. Trentuno is the ancestor of the original blackjack game we know today. The rules of the game in Trentuno are identical to the rules of modern blackjack, the only difference between the game is the number of maximum points that are 31 and not 21. However, the very same term - Blackjack, appeared in the United States of America, where it acquired its modern look.

The main types of Blackjack - rules and differences
Compared to any other casino game, Blackjack has the greatest number of varieties that do not cease to arise today. However, the fundamental classical principle of gameplay does not undergo changes. To win, the player must score no more than 21, but higher than the dealer's points. In this regard, before the acquisition of the official name (in the light of the legalization of casinos in America in the 30s of the 20th century), it was simply called for a long time, as a card game of "twenty one" (21).
Classic blackjack
A standard 52-card deck is used. Jokers are absent. But in most Blackjack online emulators (as in various land-based gambling establishments), distribution is practiced immediately from several decks mixed together. The value of in-game cards as follows:
- ace - 1 or 11;
- king, queen, jack - 10 points;
- the value of others corresponds to their number (face value).
- The highest combination is Blackjack - an ace and ten. It overlaps any other combination, even if its value is 21. There are few actions that player can make during the game:
- Split - in the case of a pair of the same value, the hand can be divided into 2 by making an additional bet;
- Insurance - insurance from blackjack at the dealer's hand (if the ace is an open card);
- Double - the bet doubles, but the participant receives only 1 additional card;
- Surrender - a player can give up, but at the same time lose only half of the bet.
European Blackjack
The rules of Blackjack in the European version (European blackjack) correspond to the original classic canons. Two decks of 54 cards. The values of the denominations are identical to the classics. The highest combination is also Blackjack. In the process, a participant can receive up to 9 additional cards. Dealer gets cards up to 17 points (if he got 17 points, dealer will no longer receive any cards, he will Stand).
American Blackjack
American Blackjack, in turn, is also divided into several varieties. However, Vegas type is particularly popular - if the dealer's first open card is an ace or a high card of 10 points, he immediately takes the next one. If blackjack occurs, the player loses.
Another popular variety is Atlantic City version. The main distinguishing feature is the use of 8 decks, instead of the standard two. Also, here you can double the bet even after Split, and then split the cards again.
Spanish Blackjack
The Spanish (Spanish blackjack) variant differs from all the Blackjack varieties described earlier. It uses 8 decks, but not the standard, but the Spanish type. Each of them consists of 48 cards, instead of the classic 52 (therefore, the advantage of a casino in this type of entertainment is much higher). Otherwise, the rules are similar. With the exception of an additional rule - a player can play Split 3 times, i.e. play immediately with 4 hands.
