This blackjack game may be the very first blackjack video game and even card game. Honour which it might share with [Hit Me](/software/hit-me/) another blackjack video game released the same year (1976) in the arcades by Ramtek.

Not surprinsingly, RCA released a [very similar game](/software/blackjack-tv-casino-i/) (but in black & white) the following year for its [RCA Studio II](/museum/rca-studio-ii/) system.
