BLACKJACK+PERFECT PAIRS is  a  neo version of the classic European Blackjack  whose origin can be traced back to a game called Vingt-et-Un (meaning 21) in 17th Century France. Vingt-et-Un involved in receiving a ‘natural’ Blackjack when a player had a hand comprising Jack and an Ace of Spades.

Another root for the game is the Italian Seven and a Half card game in which the goal was to reach a hand of 7.5 points in a game played with 7, 8 and 9 and the face cards. The value of 7, 8 and 9 carried the value of one while the face card carried half a point. The players lost when they busted the 7.5 value. The term “bust” in Blackjack is supposed to have evolved from this feature.

The many variations of the game literally mutated with the mass migration of Europeans to North America in the 19th century. With the local governance of those times taking stern action against gambling, Blackjack had to go underground. Blackjack resurfaced when Nevada legalized gambling in 1931. It has flourished since then resulting in numerous exciting forms with added features such as Blackjack+ Perfect Pairs.
