Blackjack, or "21," has been a popular game in Armenia for centuries. It is believed to have been the game of choice for Armenians as early as the 17th century. Over time, the games rules and regulations have changed, but the primary goal still remains the same - to beat the dealer.
The game has a long history of being played in Armenian salons and casinos. It was even adopted into Armenian folklore, and is now common in Armenian wedding ceremonies, with guests betting on a card game for the newlywed couple.
Today, blackjack is one of the most popular casino games in Armenia. It is played not only in casinos, but also on online platforms, which offer a variety of variants, including Pontoon, 21 Duel Blackjack and Blackjack Switch.
