The invention of blackjack if often attributed to the French. Their game ‘Vingt-et-un’ was first played in the French casinos around 1700 and it were the French immigrants who took the game to the United States about one century later.

Vingt-et-un, may resemble blackjack on the surface, but in reality it is a very different game. Indeed the objective is to reach 21, but there were shorter betting rounds and the cards were dealt after every betting round.

Vingt-et-un was not immediately popular in the Unites States. The game was a bit too traditional for the New World and it wasn’t long before the gambling house started experimenting with different pay-out rates and levels which eventually lead to the invention of blackjack.

The name is derived from the extra free no deposit bonus that players received if they had an ace of spades and a jack of spades as their first two cards. Today an ace of spades is no longer needed to create blackjack. Every ten-valued card combined with any ace is a winning hand. However, the blackjack is still widely used and remind player of to the origins of the game. Casinos generally offer a payout of 3 to 2.

The objective of Blackjack was probably best described in the title of Edward O Thorp’s book: Beat the Dealer!

Blackjack is played with one, two, four, six or eight decks. Some casinos use a special machine for shuffling the cards. In single and double deck games the dealer holds the cards in his hands and deals them himself. In multi-deck games the cards are dealt using so-called 'shoes’.

If the total of your cards is higher than the dealer's cards, without going over 21, you win.

However, if your cards have a value of 22 or above you're "busted" and you automatically lose.

Blackjack is played on a special, half round table. There is a special circle for each player. If you would like to participate, then you first have to buy chips from the dealer or take them with you from your previous table. Makes sure to place your bets right in front of you.. Only chips that are placed in the betting circle count as met. The game begins after all bets have been placed.

We have been seeing more and more European countries opening their doors and welcoming online gambling activities over the past few years. Last year(2010) the big news was online poker and deregulation in France which brought an end to the Paris-Mutual Urbain (PMU) monopolistic state-run gambling operation. This boom for the online gambling industry has come after many years of these government monopolies fighting tooth and nail to hang onto thieir business. It opens the way for regulated and licensed online casino and other gambling firms to enter into these markets, generally in partnership with local companies who have tendered for licenses. By the same token Italy has realised the potential for tax revenues in legalising this industry and although we believed that 2010 would be the breakthrough year into the Italian market, this was not quite pulled off as expected.

Denmark, traditionally an exceptionally independent country; European Union or no, also seems to have seen that there is a light at the end of the long dark tunnel that is online gambling and are, if reports are correct, planning to allow access into their market – if only through fully European companies, which is fair enough. Their granting of this access means to some that there is hope with regards to other Scandinavian countries taking the same licensing and regulation stance.
