Everything needs to have come from someone or somewhere. That is why today we are looking at casino table game inventors. We need to know what made these people come up with such genius ideas. We mean, if it wasn’t for the inventors of casino table games, we wouldn’t have the games that we enjoy today.

Casino Table Game Inventors

Roulette

Before it was known as online roulette, it was just roulette. History believes that Blaise Pascal invented this game in France in the 17^th century. The inventor, however, did not intend to invent a game; he was in fact in search for the perpetual motion machine. However, a roulette wheel was made instead.

Craps

The game of craps was side steam of a game called hazard. The game was brought to New Orleans by Bernard Xavier Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville, a French man. However, the name that caught on was craps. How did this come to be? Well, the name craps was a Louisiana mispronunciation of the word crabs. This was a term used for the numbers 2 and 3, which in hazard are the losing numbers.

Baccarat

The inventor of the casino game Baccarat was Felix Falguire. The original name of the game was baccara, which translates to zero in Italian. This was because all the tens and the face cards were worth zero. The name that caught on was the French spelling baccarat.

Poker and Blackjack

These are 2 most loved online casino table games. However, despite them being so loved, the history of each of these games is not as clear as the ones mentioned above. As a result, there have been issues with trying to pinpoint who exactly invented poker and blackjack. Nevertheless, we are grateful for such inventors as we can now all make real money out of all these games. In that regard, log in and play at Punt Casino, S.A’s #1 casino for non-stop online casino gaming action.

The game of blackjack is the most common game in the world of online casino games. Other than that name, the game also goes by the name of 21 and pontoon in Britain. If you want to be a bit fancy, you can also use the name Vingt-et-Un.
That is however not the basis of our topic today. That is because we want to understand why the name blackjack. Most children have a tendency asking their parents why they give them the names that they have.  In that regard, today  we also want to enlighten on why the game of 21 is popularly known as blackjack.

Origins of the Game of 21

The history of the game is a tricky one as the ones who played it never cared to write about it. Not that we blame them though, who would write during a game where real money involved? Anyways, we know that the game is very old and to add on to that it is one of the most popular card games in the history of casino games.

And the name Blackjack?

When the game of 21 reached the shores of America, there was a need to promote the game. This was way back before they had any of the technology that we have today. Therefore, the best that they could do was use word of mouth. Alongside the use of word of mouth, they used bonus payouts. Among these was one that paid extra if a black Jack that is Jack of Spades or Clubs when dealt with an Ace of Spades.
As the popularity of the game grew, the name 21 faded and Blackjack stuck. If you have a nickname then you obviously understand why the informal name stuck better than the original name. Rather, imagine people talking about a game that offers a handsome payout if you have a black jack? Besides blackjack does have a little something to it that makes it stand out.
