What is Blackjack? Playing
Blackjack
at an online casino
is
simple. You can
play at your
own
pace. When starting
an
online
Blackjack game for the
first
time, you will see a
Blackjack
table on
your
screen (like the
ones above).
Usually, the default
minimum
bet will
already be
placed for
you and is
reflected on
the
table. So all you
have to do
is
hit deal and your on
your
way to
fun and big wins.
Online casinos offer many
versions
of
Blackjack. From
basic skills to
multi-hand
Blackjack. Unlike playing
Slots where luck is the only
thing
you need, Blackjack
is a game of
skill. Knowing
when to stand or hit
is the
key. You'll learn all you need
to know here at #1 Blackjack
Online.
Like any other game Blackjack has certain rules. The following are online blackjack rules. The rules are simple.
Online versions of Blackjack are typically played with a single deck of cards, which is shuffled after the completion of every hand / game.
You may draw up to nine additional cards (i.e. a total of 11 cards) as long as the value of your hand does not exceed 21. If you go over 21 this is called a ‘bust’ and you automatically lose the hand. If you have not yet exceeded 21 after receiving your cards you will automatically stay and the dealer will play his hand.
The dealer must stand on all 17 and draw on 16.
If the Dealer gets Blackjack after you have Split or Doubled your entire wager (both original and Double or Split amounts) are lost.
Face cards (the Jack, Queen and King) all have a value of ten in Blackjack.
An ‘Ace’ card may have a value of either 1 or 11. Any combination of cards that contains an Ace card and whose value does not exceed 21 is referred to as a ‘soft hand’. An ‘Ace’ will adopt the value most beneficial for your hand. For example an Ace and eight will add up to 19 but if you choose to take another card that would cause the hand's value to exceed 21 the Ace will revert to a value of 1.
If you are dealt an ‘Ace’ and a card with the value of ten (a natural ten or face card) as your first two cards this is called Blackjack. You will automatically stay when you receive a Blackjack. If you beat the dealer with a Blackjack you are paid out at 3 to 2.
have a slight advantage over the casino your
playing at. Your not going to win every hand. But
you at least have a chance of outplaying the dealer. Knowing the rules is the best way to beat the house. Each casino has different dealer rules. Be sure and
know when a dealer is required to hit or stand.
Blackjack is a fast paced casino game. Playing a
land based casino your playing against other
players. Which effects what cards your dealt. If
you've played at a land based casino with a full
table you know the disappointment of having the
person dealt before you receive the card you need
for a perfect "21".
Playing Blackjack online offers a cleaner
experience. You set the pace of the table. It's
you against the dealer. There are no loud annoying people trying to tell you how to play. There's no
cigar smoke in your face or drinks being accidently spilled on you. No bad breathed people sitting
next to you. You can play in your PJs if you wish.
If you play your cards right your winnings can grow
steadily.
Blackjack Tip: When playing against a dealers 10. Always hit until you have 17.
