Online Casino Blackjack Basics |
Online casino blackjack has a huge following, with the convenience of playing this much loved game in your own home.
Online Casino blackjack is second to only online slots as the most
popular casino game online.
If you're not already an experienced player, the rules of online
blackjack are very straightforward. Firstly, the aim of the game is to
have a set of cards that total 21 or under. Each card's value is as it
appears on the cards (i.e. a 5 of diamonds is a 5), while picture cards
equal 10 and Aces either 1 or 11. A picture card and an Ace is known as
'blackjack' or the perfect hand.
In online casino blackjack you are playing against the dealer and you
must place a bet before you play. Online machines have specific bet
sizes and it's also possible to play multiple bets by betting multiple
2D chips. After a bet has been placed, the dealer will deal both
himself and you two cards. The dealers first card will be turned up, so
that you can see its value. You then have the option to 'hit' or choose
another card, or to 'stand' which means that you are choosing to keep
the two cards originally dealt.
If their dealer's turned up card is an ace, then you as player have the
option to take out 'insurance'. That means that you take out insurance
for half your original bet. If the dealer scores blackjack, then you
will not lose any money except the insurance. If he does not score 21
but still beats you will lose the bet and insurance wagers.
Another term that is commonly used in blackjack is 'soft-17's' and
'hard-17's'. A hard-17 hand is when no Ace is present or if one is it
is counted as a 1. In a soft-17 hand, the Ace counts for 11.
When a player is dealt two cards which are the same, they can do what's
known as splitting. This means that the pair is split and multiple
hands are played. There are also multi-hand (or multi deck) blackjack
games available online, but only play these if you have a little
experience and know exactly what you are doing.
The great thing about online casino blackjack is that you can also play
on your own or take part in a multi-player session. Online blackjack
communities are now relatively easy to find, and if Blackjack is a game
you love, then you are sure to make many, many new friends fast! These
online organizations are also extremely useful in that they promote
casinos which offer the best service and can warn you about irrefutable
operators.
When playing online casino blackjack always look for those casinos
which use only the most sophisticated and well regarded software.
Microgaming and Playtech are probably the two most popular software
designers and are the the leading edge of online blackjack casino games.
You can play blackjack at all of the online casinos advertised on this site.
