21 Blackjack is not based on real events. It's a work of fiction that takes inspiration from the world of gambling but doesn't have a factual basis.
My best blackjack story is from a cruise ship casino. I was playing blackjack with some new friends I'd made on the ship. We were all having a great time, sharing strategies. I got a blackjack - an ace and a ten - on my very first hand. It set the mood for the whole evening, and we ended up having a really fun time at the casino.
I was at a small casino in Reno. I got two eights in my first hand. According to the basic strategy, I split them. I ended up getting two hands of 18 and won both against the dealer's 17. It was a great start to my blackjack session.
A possible theme could be competition. If there are other players in the blackjack story, Jackie Ryan could be in a competitive environment. She might be striving to be the best player, either for personal pride or for some sort of reward. Also, the theme of strategy is likely present, as blackjack requires a certain amount of strategic thinking to win.
It depends on your perspective. Some elements might be fictional, but it could draw inspiration from real-life situations or concepts.

Well, it's a bit of a mix. While it may be inspired by some true elements from 1899 such as the general state of the world, sea travel, and social hierarchies at that time, it also has a lot of fictional elements added for the sake of drama and mystery. For example, the overarching mystery plot might be a creative take on some historical uncertainties, but not directly based on a single true story.
