Blackjack is popular in online casinos

Blackjack is a popular card game in both land and online casinos because of its simple rules and the fun of tactics. The game is settled quickly and has a light tempo. In online casinos, there is no dealer, so there is almost no waiting time and the game progresses quickly, which is appealing.

Basic Rules of Blackjack

Blackjack is a competitive card game. Players draw cards so that the total of their cards in their hand is 21.

You are dealt two cards at the beginning, and if the total is not enough, you can "Hit" (add a card). If the value is high enough to compete with the dealer, you can choose "Stand" (play without drawing a card). You can only draw one card, but "Double Down" doubles your bet, which is a good choice for when you need to make a move.

If the total of your cards exceeds 21, you lose (bust). If you have a higher number than the dealer but 21 or less, you win. If both cards have the same number, it's a draw (push).

Cards with values ​​from 2 to 10 are counted as they are, but J, Q, and K are all treated as 10. Players can choose whether to treat the A as 1 or 11.

Types of Blackjack and their characteristics

There are many variations of blackjack games at online casinos. Each game requires a different strategy.

Classic Blackjack
The basic rules of blackjack.
The dealer stands if the number exceeds 17, so don't force your opponent.
European Blackjack
European blackjack rules. The dealer only draws one card at the beginning. After the player has completed all of their actions, the dealer draws the second card. It is said that the player is at a disadvantage.
American Blackjack
The dealer receives two cards, one of which is placed face down and the other face up.
If the face-up card is an A or a 10, it is immediately confirmed (peeped), and if it is a blackjack, the game ends at that point, so the loss is confirmed before any additional bets can be made, which has the advantage of preventing unnecessary losses.
Blackjack Switch
Blackjack that allows you to switch your cards. Players play blackjack with two hands. Each player is dealt two cards and can exchange the second card. The rules are favorable to the player.
However, the dealer also has an additional favorable condition, and if the total value of the dealer's cards reaches "22", all hands other than blackjack are treated as "draws".
Progressive Blackjack
A game with the usual blackjack rules with an added jackpot. You can participate in the jackpot by making a side bet. There is no doubt that the condition is a very unlikely bet, such as "four Aces of the same suit", but the payout is so high that there is no end to players who bet in pursuit of their dreams. Don't get too excited.

Blackjack is a game that can increase your winning rate

Blackjack is a game that requires a perfect balance of skill and luck, but it is said to be a game that can increase your winning rate. It is said that if you use the basic strategy, which is the action with the highest mathematical expectation value, your winning rate will increase.

As long as you don't make a mistake in the timing of doubling down or splitting, you can keep the house edge (the casino's share) to less than 1%.

Online casinos also have free play modes, so it's a good idea to try them out first.
