Continue reading below to find out all of the ins and out of online blackjack, along with some tips and tricks when looking for a good blackjack casino.

How to Play Online Blackjack

One of the reasons why Blackjack is such a popular hit amongst gamers is due to its simple nature making it an incredibly easy game for inexperienced gamers to enjoy, however, its simple nature does not mean it can not be enjoyed by avid gamers too.

The objective in Blackjack is to get as close as possible to 21 with the values on your dealt cards and each player has a turn at trying to beat the dealer. All players are dealt two cards, to begin with, which they keep hidden from the other players and dealer.

However, the dealer must reveal one of his two cards to the partaking players. Following this, players can then ‘Stick’ or ‘Twist’. Those who ‘Stick’ will not recieve another card, whereas those who ‘Twist’ will keep receiving cards (up to a maximum of 5) before they say ‘Stick’.

Online Blackjack Strategy

Below we have put together a few tips and tricks to look out for and follow when playing online Blackjack that may help you see more success.

  • Your primary goal in Blackjack is to get as close as possible to 21, but you are also attempting to lose as little money as possible to the house or dealer.
  • If the combined value of your cards in a single hand add up to 12, 13, 14 or 15, you should only ‘hit’ when the dealers’ face-up card is a 7, 8, 9, 10 or Ace.
  • You should always split if you have a pair of eights.
  • Always double your bet if your combined value of cards is 11.

A Selection of Online Blackjack Games

As with the majority of traditional card games, you can now find various different versions available that are based on the original game. If you find a casino that offers a wide variety of different online blackjack games, then chances are this is a platform that can be trusted and is worth trying out. However, there are a few more things that you should keep your eyes peeled for when looking for a good online casino. The majority of casinos will outsource to high-quality providers for their Blackjack games, so you should expect to see quality that matches this, for example, the gameplay, animations and graphics. Also, more often than not, casinos will clearly a display an RTP (Return To Player) figure, so you know if you can not see one an RTP figure you should continue looking elsewhere.
