Playing
Blackjack Online
Playing Blackjack at an online casino is simple. You can play at your own pace. You don't have other players pressuring you or critizing your play. When starting the online Blackjack game for the first time you will see a Blackjack table on your screen. Usually, the default minimum bet will already be placed on the table. If not you just hit your bet amount and hit deal. You can increase or decrease the amount you wish to wager with the Increase and Decrease buttons. The size of the column of casino chips will change as you do this. Once you have decided on the size of your bet you can start the game. Click on the Deal button. The Dealer will deal you two cards and deal himself one card. As soon as the last card is dealt you will be able to decide whether to hit (take another card) or stand (stay). If your first two cards dealt to you are an Ace and a card of value ten then you have Blackjack and unless the dealer has an Ace or Ten you automatically win the game and are paid out 2.5 times your original bet. If you draw another card (hit) and the value of your hand now exceeds 21 then you have gone 'bust' and have lost this hand. You may play again by clicking on the Deal button. If you are satisfied with your hand click the Stand button to end the game. The dealer will now draw cards until his hand exceeds or equals 17 in value. If the dealer's hand exceeds 21 you win because the dealer has gone 'bust.' If the dealer's hand exceeds 17 in value but is less than 21 the value of the two hands are compared and the stronger hand wins. If
your hand is stronger than the dealer's you receive double your wager
back. If not, you lose your wager and can play again. Online
Blackjack Rules
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.
