Black Jack - also known as '21' and 'pontoon' - is a card game that is often found in a casino with players attempting their fortune on achieving the elusive 'twenty-one'. It's commonly presumed that the game started in France amid the 17th century. However, as with many other gambling games the precise evolution of the game remains a mystery.

Chemin de fer was introduced to the U.S. following the French Revolution, but the game did not become favored in the betting houses until the casino offered bonus payouts. This was the only way that seemed to get people wagering on chemin de fer. One variation on the reward payment was for a gambler to make '21' with the blackjack card (worth ten points) and an ace (valued at 11 points). With the increasing appeal of the game the bonus pay outs were phased out but the name 'black jack' stayed.

Twenty-one is not simply about acquiring an immediate 'twenty-one', but the main challenge is to beat the dealer without busting. The betting house obviously has an edge over the gambling players over the long run, but with black jack the gambler holds on to an element of choice.

Since nineteen thirty one when America initial approved betting, chemin de fer has developed into a traditional casino card game. Furthermore, it's the blending of both ability and math employed in black jack that has made the game hugely liked. Pontoon provides an alluring adventure to any academic, mathematician or gambling player looking to analyze the strategy of the game.
