Since ancient times, blackjack has been an elegant game played by the high class of society. This is the reason why celebrities and famous people have played in the most elegant and refined blackjack tables in the world. These famous incursions into blackjack gave origin to interesting stories.

This time we’ll remember a famous blackjack story that involves two characters who were renowned in the far west. We are talking about Johnny Ringo and Doc Holliday, two characters that are necessary to describe those times. Johnny Ringo was on a winning streak in blackjack and was winning important hands and he was feeling invincible. At that time, when Ringo was at the top, he decided to challenge Doc Holliday to a blackjack game. What happened was that later he thought it would be better to play poker and Doc Holliday accepted. They played betting an important amount and the environment was really tense and dense.

They played this famous game and finally Holliday defeated Ringo and the environment was so tense the game almost ends in a shooting, which was very common at the time. When the situation cooled off and they were alone, Holliday suggested Ringo to go back to where he came from. What Holliday meant is that Ringo should go back to his specialty, which clearly was blackjack. Ringo listened to the advice and returned to blackjack tables, where he had his winning strike back and won more than 7,000 dollars playing blackjack, an amount that was really large at the time.

Another story that involves celebrities, and very elegant celebrities, is a story with Frank Sinatra. Sinatra together with his Rat Pack, which included Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford, decided to go to Las Vegas and defeat a dealer who was deemed invincible. They played blackjack for hours and couldn’t beat the dealer. Sinatra, who was impressed with the dealer’s abilities, hired him to work in one of his casinos. The dealer was never beaten by someone playing in his table.
