For instance, players would be paid a ten to one bonus, if it happens that a player has on his/her arm an ace of spades as well as a jack of clubs or spades (black jack). Whenever this happened, then that arm was referred to as a ‘black jack’ and this became so influential such that the game remained to be known as ‘black jack’ irrespective of the removal of the bonus payouts.
