"1930s Montana saw a game similar to the 'Chinese Lottery' become popular as people could win a lot of money from a tiny bet. Eventually this game travelled to the legal gambling pastures of Nevada."

"Each card in blackjack is worth its number value, two through ten. Jacks, queens, and kings are worth ten. Aces are worth one or eleven, so an ace and a three is four or fourteen."
