Blackjack
Blackjack has been played online for almost 10 years now and it
still remains to be one of the most popular online casino games,
especially for the male gender. Since most casinos take players
as young as 19, many are getting in the game early.
There are many variations of blackjack, one being Vegas Style general
blackjack which incorporates 2 decks and the house must hit on hands
less then soft 17 and must stand on hands of 17 or greater. A soft
hand is one that includes an Ace, which could stand for 11 or 1.
Atlantic City style blackjack is played with 4 decks and the house
must hit on 16 and stand on all 17’s. Both versions allow
doubling down and splitting. When splitting, the player is dealt
two cards of the same number and can add to their bet and split
them up so the dealer must give the player 2 more cards making two
separate pairs of cards. These cards can then be doubled down and
the player is betting 4 times their original bet when split and
then doubled down. The player may also choose to hit until he gets
a hand that he is content with that may beat the dealer.
Some versions of blackjack are advantageous to the player and some
are to the dealer.
When deciding which one to play, make sure you take into consideration
all the pros and cons to each side. Some players are risk takers
and although it isn’t advantageous for them, the payoff may
in fact be better, depending on the situation. Online, you can play
against the dealer alone or with other players and many casinos
even offer live blackjack with a real dealer and cards, instead
of the computer.
