The game of Blackjack actually originated in the French casinos and then when it was introduced in the American casinos the game of blackjack did not become very popular in the beginning. The game was called as 21 and not as blackjack at that time. As the game did not gain much popularity the gambling houses of United States of America tried their best to give out some offers by paying out some bonus payouts to get the players to the casinos and to the tables.

Among the various bonuses offered a popular bonus was the 10-to-1 payout, if the player of the game should have the ace of spades and a black Jack, and the hand holding these cards known to be called as blackjack and as it attracted many players to the tables, the name blackjack got stuck to the game though the bonus payout for holding the ace of spades and a black Jack was soon abolished and the rules were also changed and also varies from country to country, casino to casino and table to table. The game of backgammon is basically a board game and is played between two players and the game can be won by both luck and strategy.
