    You're unlikely to hear "soixante." We don't usually get to SIXTY with a blackjack hand!!

    Don
    Four Louis Quinze cards. Does that make soixante?

    And, Blackjack was based on Vingt-et-un, which was popular in the court of Louis XV, and Vingt-et-un was based on the 17th Century game Quinze.

    Sorry, it's late.
