This card game originated in France as 'vingt-et-un'. The game was not popular in US initially so gambling houses tried offering various bonus payouts to get the players to the tables. One such bonus was a 10-to-1 payout if the player's hand consisted of the ace of spades and either the 'X' of clubs or the 'X' of spades. This made the game popular and it received a specific name in US. The rules have changed now and the 10:1 bonus is no longer present but the game retained its popularity in US Casinos. Which game?? Am not revealing 'X' as that will give the answer!!
Spot on again...BlackJack it is!!
