Blackjack, also known as “21”, is the most commonly-played casino game in the world.The first known form of blackjack, as illustrated on gambling.com, was found in Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes’s short story “Rinconete y Cortadillo” early in the 17th Century. The game was called “ventiuna” (Spanish for twenty-one) and was played with the Spanish baraja deck, which had no eights, nines, or tens.
