Blackjack
In blackjack, each card means a certain number of points. Cards from 2 to 10 give 2 to 10 points, respectively. Jacks, queens and kings also equal 10 points, and an ace can equal 1 or 11 points.
A hard hand is any two cards without an Ace. A hard hand means there is a risk of overcards. So technically a 2 and 3 (5 point hand) is a hard hand, but in the game it will be a soft hand because you can draw an extra card without risking an overcall.
A soft hand is any two cards with an ace. A soft hand means you can draw one more card without risking an overcall. The oldest soft hand is a nine and an ace (10 or 20 points).

The first version of blackjack, which included elements such as a deck of cards, a player playing against the dealer, and a winner determined by the cards dealt, was the Spanish game Trente-un (31). The author of Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes, wrote about this game in his story "Rinconete y Cortadillo," published as part of his "Edifying Novels" in 1613. The game Trente-un was mentioned in records dating back to 1440 (although there were several games with that name that had nothing in common).
In the 17th century a variation of this game existed in England and was called Bone Ace. In Cervantes' story and in Bone Ace, which was described by Charles Cotton in The Artful Player (1674), an ace could be equal to 1 or 11 points. The French ancestor of blackjack was called Quinze (15), and was first mentioned in the 16th century. This game remained popular in casinos in France until the 19th century. The Italian card game Sette e Mezzo (7 and a half) was popular in the early 17th century. The Sette Mezzo used a deck of 40 cards (no eights, nines, or tens). The remaining cards retained their face value, and picture cards were counted as shelf cards.
Another French game, Trente-et-quarante (30 and 40), was available at the Spa Casino in Belgium in 1780. Unlike most of the early games, Trente-et-quarante was a game against the establishment, meaning it was the casino that took the bets and paid for the players' winnings. It was in this game that "insurance" first appeared.
In the 19th century, casinos in America adopted two rules that dramatically raised the popularity of the game. They allowed players to see one of the dealer's cards and required the dealer to draw a card at 16 points or less and stop at 17 or higher. In the early 20th century, the game became known as "blackjack" because of a promotion (which ran very briefly and was quickly stopped) in which a player received a best blackjack bonuses if he scored 21 points with the ace of spades and a jack of the black suit.
After Dr. Thorpe's famous research and subsequent increase in the number of players and various analyses of the game, blackjack became the most popular casino table game. Although casinos generally benefited from players developing various strategies, they still tried to discourage it. Despite numerous court rulings that card counting is not cheating, casinos in most jurisdictions have the right to deny a player access to a casino without giving a reason.
