Well the best place to start with is naturally the beginning by examining who invented Blackjack. This is a hotly debated topic in itself as some people believe it to be the Romans, others the Spanish and others the French. From researching this issue, I have found that there doesn’t seem to be much evidence to support the fact that the Romans were responsible for this game. Some say that the Romans used to play the earliest version of Blackjack with wooden blocks as opposed to cards and that different blocks were assigned different numerical values. Upon closer inspection though, it seems like this theory only exists because it has been proven that the Romans had a love for gambling and it was a popular past time in Roman society.
