Blackjack, known as Black Jack, is a game of poker.

The game originated in French casinos around 1700, and the French word vingt-et-un means 21; at first it was not popular in the United States, and casinos offered extra prizes as a way to attract customers. The name of this game gradually became “Black Jack”, which is the name of the American version of blackjack game, and although the extra jackpot rule was cancelled later, the name still continues to be passed down.

Blackjack is one of the most popular games in the world, and because it is the game with the lowest house advantage, it has always attracted a large number of players worldwide.
