Blackjack

Introduction

The north american game of blackjack, also known as 21, has been one of the most popular casino games of the last hundred years and has spread throughout the world. In the 21st century it has been overtaken in popularity by slots (slot machine games), but it remains one of the most popular casino card games and is available in almost all casinos both on and offline.

Blackjack is a casino banked game, meaning that players compete against the house rather than each other. The objective is to get a hand total of closer to 21 than the dealer without going over 21 (busting).

At the start of a blackjack game, the players and the dealer receive two cards each. The players' cards are normally dealt face up, while the dealer has one face down (called the hole card) and one face up. The best possible blackjack hand is an opening deal of an ace with any ten-point card.

The house advantage of this game is derived from several rules that favour the dealer. The most significant of these is that the player must act before the dealer, allowing the player to bust and lose their bet before the dealer plays.

Players should be aware that there is another card game called black jack in the UK which is an entirely different card game, effectively the same as crazy eights.

Equipment

Blackjack is played with a standard international deck of cards with the jokers removed, leaving 52 cards. Originally the game was played with a single deck. However, as a counter measure to card counting, casinos introduced multi-deck games, based on the false assumption that if there were more cards in play it would be harder for the card counter to keep track of them all. As a result, blackjack is now usually offered in either single deck, double deck, 4 deck, 6 deck or 8 deck variants. It should be noted that there are exceptions in online casinos where far larger numbers of decks can be used than would be practical to manage offline.

Aside from the cards, the game requires a table, chips, a discard tray, cut card and a shoe.

After the dealer has shuffled a player will be selected at random and asked to take the cut card вђ“ a coloured plastic card matching the playing cards in size вђ“ and place it at a random position within stack of cards. The dealer will then move the cards above the cut card to the back of the stack. This technique is intended to demonstrate to the players that the dealer cannot have rigged the deck. The cut card is then reinserted into the stack of cards by the dealer at a pre-defined position and when this card is reached this indicates the final deal of the game before the cards are shuffled.

Where multiple decks are used, after the shuffle the cards will be placed into a dispenser called a shoe. This piece of equipment has two purposes: to hold large stacks of cards in multi-deck games and make the practice of hole carding (cheating by catching a glimpse of the dealer’s hole card) more difficult. In fact hole carding is not illegal in the vast majority of jurisdictions. If the dealer is poorly trained or sloppy enough to fail to protect their down card from being seen by a player at the table this is not the player's fault and the player is not obliged to look away to prevent themselves seeing the down card. If however the player uses any form of device, for instance a metal lighter to observe the reflection in, or an accomplice off table signals the information to them, this is cheating. Hole carding is only legal where the player can see the card naturally from one of the player positions at the table.

Card values

When playing blackjack the numeral cards 2 to 10 have their face values, jacks, queens and kings are valued at 10, and aces can have a value of either 1 or 11. The ace is always valued at 11 unless that would result in the hand going over 21, in which case it is valued as 1.

Any hand with an ace valued as 11 is called a ‘soft’ hand. All other hands are ‘hard’ hands.

A starting hand of a 10 valued card and an ace is called a blackjack or natural and beats all hands other than another blackjack. If both the player and dealer have blackjack, the result is a push (tie): neither the player nor the bank wins and the bet is returned to the player.

Order of play and playing options

Example game

Each player sitting at the table places their desired bet in the betting circle directly in front of them. In most casinos if there are untaken betting circles, the players sitting at the table can choose to play more than one hand at a time. The minimum and maximum bet size varies from casino to casino, generally with a ratio of 40 to 100 between them. For example with a $25 minimum bet the maximum will usually be somewhere from $1000 to $2500. Once the bets are placed the dealer will move their hand across the table from their left to their right signalling that no further bets can be placed. The dealer then deals cards one at a time clockwise around the table, from the dealer's left to the dealer's right: first a card face up to each betting circle that has a bet in it, then a card face up to the dealer, and then a second card face up to each betting circle with a bet and finally a second card face down to the dealer.

In many places the dealer's first card is initially dealt face down. The dealer's second card is used to flip the first card face up and then slid underneath the first card. The exact dealing protocol varies from place to place as determined by the casino management.

If the dealer has a 10 or an ace face up players are offered the option to place an insurance bet. Insurance is a side bet on whether or not the dealer has a blackjack, unrelated to the final outcome of the round. If a player chooses to take insurance they place an additional bet equal to half of their original bet. This insurance bet wins if the dealer has blackjack.

The dealer now checks their down card to see if they have blackjack. If they have blackjack they expose their down card. The round is concluded and all players lose their original bet unless they also have blackjack. If a player and the dealer each have blackjack the result is a push and the player's bet is returned. Any insurance bets are paid out at 2:1.

If the dealer does not have blackjack any insurance bets are lost and any players who have blackjack are paid. It is then the turn of the remaining players to take their actions. Starting with the player sitting furthest to dealer's left they have the following options:

Stand вђ“ if the player is happy with the total they’ve been dealt they can stand, taking no further action and passing to the next player. The player can take this action after any of the other player actions as long as their hand total is not more than 21. The hand signal to stand is waving a flat hand over the cards.

Hit вђ“ if the player wishes to take another card they signal to the dealer to by scratching the felt beside their hand or pointing to their hand. A single card is then played face up onto their hand. If the hand total is less than 21 the player can choose to hit again or stand. If the total is 21 the hand automatically stands. If the total is over 21 the hand is bust, the player’s bet is taken by the house and the turn to act passes to the next player.

Double down вђ“ if the player considers they have a favourable hand, generally a total of 9, 10 or 11, they can choose to 'double down'. To do this they place a second wager equal to their first beside their first wager. A player who doubles down receives exactly one more card face up and is then forced to stand regardless of the total. This option is only available on the player's two-card starting hand. Some casinos will restrict which starting hand totals can be doubled.

Split вђ“ if the playerвђ™s first two cards are of matching rank they can choose to place an additional bet equal to their original bet and split the cards into two hands. Where the player chooses to do this the cards are separated and an additional card is dealt to complete each hand. If either hand receives a second card of matching rank the player may be offered the option to split again, though this depends on the rules in the casino. Generally the player is allowed a maximum of 4 hands after which no further splits are allowed. The split hands are played one at a time in the order in which they were dealt, from the dealer's left to the dealer's right. The player has all the usual options: stand, hit or double down. Some casinos restrict the card ranks that can be split and may also restrict the option to double after splitting a pair.

A player who splits aces is usually only allowed to receive a single additional card on each hand. Normally players are allowed to split two non-matching 10-value cards, for example a king and a jack. However, some casinos restrict the splitting of ten value cards to pairs of the same rank (two jacks for instance). It should be noted in any case that splitting 10's is almost always a poor play for the player. If aces are split and the player draws a ten or if tens are split and the player draws an ace, the resulting hand does not count as a blackjack but only as an ordinary 21. In this case the player's two-card 21 will push (tie with) dealer's 21 in three or more cards.

Surrender вђ“ some casinos allow a player to surrender, taking back half their bet and giving up their hand. Surrender must be the player's first and only action on the hand. In the most usual version, known as late surrender, it is after the dealer has checked the hole card and does not have a blackjack. It has become increasingly rare for casinos to offer the surrender option.

After all players have completed their actions the dealer plays their hand according to fixed rules. First they will reveal their down card. The dealer will then continue to take cards until they have a total of 17 or higher. The rules regarding soft 17 (a total of 17 with an ace counted as 11 such as A+6) vary from casino to casino. Some require the dealer to stand while others require additional cards to be taken until a total of hard 17 or 18+ is reached. This rule will be clearly printed on the felt of the table.

If the dealer busts all non-busted player hands are automatically winners.

Payouts

If the player and dealer have equal unbusted totals the hand is considered a push and the player’s bet is returned.

If a player wins a hand they are paid out at 1:1 on the total bet wagered on that hand. For example if the player wagered $10 and then doubled down placing a further bet of $10 on the hand and won, they would be paid a total of $40, their $20 bet back and $20 winnings.

If the player has blackjack they are paid at 3:2, so that a wager of $10 the player would be paid a total of $25, their $10 bet back plus $15 winnings.

If the player has placed the insurance bet and the dealer has blackjack, the player’s hand loses but the insurance bet is paid out at 2:1. So if the player had bet $10 on the hand and $5 on the insurance bet, they would lose the $10 and be paid a total of $15 вђ“ their $5 insurance bet returned and $10 winnings. This effectively results in a push overall for the hand.

Variants

In some casinos the players' initial two-card hands are dealt face down. All additional cards dealt to the player are given face up. The initial cards are revealed by the player if the hand goes bust, or if the player wishes to split a pair. Otherwise the dealer reveals the cards at the end of the round when it is time to settle the bets. This style of game is rare nowadays: casinos don't like to allow players to touch the cards, because of the risk of card marking.

In european style games only the dealer’s face up card is dealt the start of the round. Dealer's second card is dealt after all players have acted, and the dealer checks for blackjack at this point. Player blackjacks are paid at the end of the round if the dealer does not have blackjack. If the dealer has blackjack the rules regarding doubled and split hands vary from casino to casino. Some casinos will take both bets while others will only take the initial bet and return the other.

Blackjack payout

It should be noted that some casinos have started to offer a reduced payout on blackjack, most commonly 6:5. This is very bad for the player, increasing the house edge significantly. Any game offering a reduced payout on blackjack should be avoided by players.

Splits

The maximum number of hands that can be created by splitting depends on the rules in the casino: some only allow one split.

When splitting 10 value cards, not all casinos will allow players to split non-matching 10 cards. For instance, in some casinos you could split two jacks but could not split a king and a jack. Also, some casinos will limit which card ranks can be split.

House rules will dictate whether the player is allowed to double after splitting, and whether a player who splits aces is allowed to receive more than one additional card on a hand.

Surrender

Not all casinos offer the surrender option.

A few casinos may offer early surrender in which the player can take back half of their bet and give up their hand before the dealer checks for blackjack. This is very rare nowadays

In european style games there is normally no surrender option. If surrender were offered it would of course have to be early surrender.

Five card charlie

The side rule is rarely offered. When it is in effect, a player who collects a hand of five cards (two cards plus three hits) without going bust is immediately paid even money, irrespective of the dealer's hand.

Home game blackjack

Blackjack can be played at home, rather than in a casino. In this case a fancy blackjack table is not needed: just at least one pack of cards and something to bet with - cash, chips or maybe matches. Unless the players have agreed in advance that the host should deal throughout, to ensure a fair game the participants should take turns to be the dealer. The turn to deal can pass to the next player in clockwise order after every hand or every five hands or whatever the players agree. If playing with a single deck of cards, it is desirable to re-shuffle the cards after every hand.

Swedish pub blackjack

Nightclubs and pubs in sweden often offer a blackjack variant that is less favourable to the players. All the essential rules are the same as in the casino version unless the player and dealer have an equal total of 17, 18 or 19. In the casino version the player's stake is returned in these situations, but in swedish pubs the house wins.

Although pub stakes may vary, they are often much lower than in casinos with a minimum stake of 20 or 40 krona and a maximum of 60 krona (about US$7) for each hand.

Optimal strategy

Basic strategy table for one of the more commonly available rule combinations (6 decks, resplit to 4 hands, dealer stands on soft 17, late surrender, double after split).

First and foremost, as a general rule the player should never take insurance. Unless using an advanced and mathematically proven strategy that will alert the player to the rare situations in which insurance is worthwhile, it should be avoided as a bad bet for the player.

Next, it should be understood that every possible combination of player hands and dealer up card has a mathematically correct play. These can be summarized in what is known as a basic strategy table. However, certain plays in the table need to be modified according to the specific combination of rules in force. To be sure of playing correctly, it is necessary to generate a basic strategy table for the specific rules of the game being played. Various tools are available online to do this. We would recommend this blackjack basic strategy calculator.

It should be noted that even playing perfect basic strategy for the rule set in play, the player will still usually be at a disadvantage.

Card counting

Card counting provides the player a mathematically provable opportunity to gain an advantage over the house. It must be understood that this does not guarantee that the player will win. Just as a regular player may win though good luck despite playing at a disadvantage, it is perfectly possible for the card counter to lose through an extended period of bad luck even though playing with a small advantage over the house.

The basic premise of card counting is that mathematically speaking, low cards on average are beneficial to the dealer while high cards favour the player. There are many subtle reasons for this but the most significant are:

• A player who receives a blackjack (a ten value card and an ace вђ“ two high cards) is paid one and a half times their bet. The dealer however only receives the player’s bet when dealt a blackjack.


• While the player can stop taking additional cards at any time, rules require the dealer to continue drawing cards until they reach a total of 17. The player can choose whether or not to take an additional card on a total of 16 whereas the dealer has to take one. In this situation small cards are less likely to cause the dealer to bust are thus favour the dealer, while big cards cause the dealer to bust more often and favour the player.


• The majority of situations where it is correct of the player to double are starting hands that would be made very strong by the addition of a ten value card or an ace. Therefore, doubling becomes more favourable when there are more ten value cards and aces left in the deck.

So the card counter looks for times when there are more high cards left to be played than a regular deck would have. Rather than trying to remember each card that has been played, the card counter will usually use a ratio system that offsets cards that are good for the player against cards that are good for the dealer.

The most commonly used card counting system is the hilo count, which values cards as follows:

High cards: 10, J, Q, K, A:	-1
medium cards: 7, 8, 9:	0
low cards: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6:	+1

To keep track the player starts at zero, adds one to the total every time a low card is played and subtracts one from the total when a high card is played. This is called the ‘running count’. It may seem counter-intuitive to subtract one for high value cards that are good for the player, but a high card that has been played is one less high card that is left to be played. Where the running count is positive the player knows that there are more player favourable cards remaining to be played.

When kept correctly the running count will start at 0 and, if all the cards were to be played out, would end at 0. This is because there are an equal number of high cards and low cards. The hilo count is therefore referred to as a ‘balanced counting system’.

Card counting systems are generally not impeded by the addition of multiple decks to the game. At any rate multiple decks do not make it significantly more difficult for the card counter to keep track of the running count, since the card counter only needs to keep track of a single number, the running count. However many decks are used, the count begins at zero and would end at zero if there were no cards left, so no changes need to be made to the counting process.

Where multiple decks do make a difference is in how much impact a positive running count has to the player advantage. If the running count is +10 and there are two decks remaining to play, this means there are an extra 5 player favourable cards in each deck. If there are 5 decks remaining to be played there are only 2 extra player favourable cards in each deck. The higher the concentration of extra player favourable cards the stronger the player’s advantage. To estimate the strength of the player advantage the running count therefore needs to be divided by the number of decks remaining to be played. This figure is called the true count.

With the true count the player has a consistent measure of how many extra player favourable cards are contained within the cards remaining to be dealt. The player can use this information to vary their bet and playing strategy. Deviations from basic strategy are far less important than placing big bets when the true count is high and low bets (or preferably nothing) when the true count is low or negative.

It is important to note that sizing your bet correctly is critical to your long term success as a card counter. This requires substantial additional knowledge that is beyond the scope of this article. Instead we refer interested readers to the books listed below for an insight into this complex aspect of card counting.

While card counting is legal in most jurisdictions, for obvious reasons casinos do not like players that can consistently beat them. They therefore employ counter measures and any players they identify as card counters will be asked to leave the casino. The most common method used to identify card counters is to watch for a large bet spread (difference between the minimum and maximum bet a player uses) and to see whether large bets correlate with player favourable counts. Card counters have developed several methods to help them avoid detection. The two most common are:

• Wonging / back counting. Named after blackjack author stanford wong, this is the practice of watching the cards being played and only sitting down to play when there is a player favourable count. This practice reduces the bet spread the player uses as they only place bets in player favourable situations but casinos are now well aware of this strategy and watch out for players hanging around a table and not playing. The method is still useful, but not without its problems.


• Team play. This involves several trained card counters working together. Most commonly there would be several 'spotters' sitting at different tables keeping track of the count and either back counting or playing minimum bets. When a table reaches a positive count the spotter would signal to the 'big player' who would come over and bet big during the player favourable count. This allows both players to make very little variation in their bets. Casinos are aware of this strategy and watch for groups of players working together.

There are several variations on team play designed to be employed in different situations and to different effects. These are covered more fully in the reading resources detailed below.

Successful card counting is generally only profitable in land based casinos, not in online games. The strategy relies on the game having a "memory" in that cards are dealt from the cards remaining after previous rounds have been played. Online blackjack games are dealt by computer and normally use a random number generator to shuffle the whole deck after every round of play. Games of this sort are not countable.

There are some live blackjack games online, which are played over a video feed with a human dealer. These could technically be counted but there are several significant disadvantages that make this difficult or not worth the player's time:

1. Games of this type are very slow to play. A slow game means less money made.


2. The games generally offer poor "penetration". This means that the decks are shuffled early, not allowing enough cards to be dealt out for many player favourable situations to develop. (the most favourable situations for the player tend to occur further into the shoe.)


3. The casino's software records every player bet and all the cards dealt. This makes it relatively easy for a casino to employ software to track the count and watch for players raising their bet or only playing when the count is favourable.

For the above reasons card counting has not become commonplace online.

Top 10 casino games

Everyone loves to have a gamble from time to time (myself included). Unfortunately we don’t always win, but the real fun is in the playing, not the winning. Here is a list of the top 10 casino games.

Bingo is a game in which players try to match randomly selected numbers to the numbers on their card. The card consists of a 5×5 matrix where each column is represented by the letters B-I-N-G-O. The middle square is typically a free square. The first person to form a specific pattern (usually a straight line) calls out “bingo!”. The card gets checked for accuracy and the winner is announced. Then a new round begins.

In baccarat each player has three options: player, tie, and banker. When all players have placed their bets, the dealer deals out two 2-card hands, one is the banker hand while the other is the player hand. The hands are added up. If a hand totals over ten, the ten is dropped (I.E. 9+5=14=4). A hand equaled to 10 becomes a 0 or baccarat. The winning hand would be the higher of the 2 and anyone who placed a corresponding bet wins.

8. Wheel of fortune (the big six)

This game is played by placing your bet on one of 6 symbols on the game table. Then the wheel is spun. The wheel is divided into 52 equal sections that are separated by pins around the edge. When the wheel comes to a stop, the pointer will be between two pins. All bets placed on the symbol the wheel stops on, win.

Keno is a lottery game. The player get a card numbered 1 to 80. The player then picks up to 20 numbers and a wager. The card is then registered and the game begins. The caller announces 20 randomly drawn numbers. The player tries to match as many called numbers to their selected numbers. The more numbers matched the higher the winnings paid against their wager.

Pai gow poker is played against the house instead of the other players. The dealer deals out 7 cards to each player and himself in rotation. Everyone then looks at their cards and tries to make the best 5-card and 2-card poker hands. The 5-card hand must rank higher than the 2-card hand. The hands are then compared against the dealers. If both hands beat the dealer, the player wins. If both lose, the player loses. If both the dealer and the player win on a hand, it is a push.

In roulette, the player places his chips on the table where they would like to wager. The table consists of number 0-36 and 00 and then has additional betting for even-odd, red-black, low 18-high 18, low/middle/high 12, and for the first/second/third columns. A player may also place their bet between 2, 3, 4, or 5 numbers and may cross bet between the additional betting area. The dealer will signal no more bets. The dealer will spin the wheel in a clockwise direction then roll a ball in a counter-clockwise direction. The ball lands in a numbered slot on the wheel. All bets that correspond with the number win.

Slots are machines that play a number of different games. They are very popular. In general the player will insert coins into the machine and either pull a handle or press a button. This causes the wheels to spin. In older styled slot machines there were 3 wheels. In the newer machines they tend to have 3 to 5 simulated wheels. When the wheels stop, the player is paid based on the pattern of symbols.

Blackjack is a card game played between the house and the player. The dealer deals out two cards to each player and their self. The dealer has one card face up and one down. The players then take turns trying to get as close to 21 without going over. Aces are equal to 1 or 11. Face cards are 10 and number cards are face value. The player calls hit to get a card, and stand to end their turn. A player may also call double to double their bet and may only receive one card and the turn ends. If a player has two identically numbered cards, they may split. This requires them to double their bet and then get two more cards making two new hands that they may play. After all players turns are over, the dealer reveals their card. The dealer then hits if the total is 16 or less and stands on 17 and higher. Everyone who has a hand that beats the dealer without going over 21 wins.

Craps is a high energy dice game based on 7. The player places bets around the table. There are many places to bet. The pass line is the main focus of the game. 7 and 11 win on this line while 2, 3 and 12 lose. All other numbers rolled make an established point. If that number is rolled again before a 7 is rolled, the bet wins. The don’t pass line is just the opposite, 2 and 3 win where 7 and 11 loses. The field line wins on 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, and 12. 2 and 12 pay double. The come line is playable after a point is established. It plays the same as the pass line. The don’t come plays like don’t pass after the point is established. Then you also can make bets on the horn. These bets are on getting 2, 3, 11, or 12 on the next roll. Other bets include big 6/8, C&E, any seven, and craps.

Poker is a card game base on a 5 card hand. The ranking of hands from lowest to highest are high card, pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush, and royal flush. The player with the best hand wins. There are many versions of poker such as 5-card draw, 5-card stud, texas hold’em, omaha hold’em, razz, pineapple, and 7-card stud.

That last point is an important one. There are very few "beatable" casino and/or gambling games. Mathematically, the house always has the advantage. But there are a handful of games in which a skillful gambler (one who has really studied and learned how to play) can get an advantage:

Different games appeal to different people. You're well suited for poker if you're good at reading people, emotionally strong and able to control yourself, and you can make consistently good decisions.

Video poker is a great game for people who enjoy the solitude of slot machines but who also like to make decisions. It's also a good game for people who can consistently make 600 perfect decisions every hour.

Sportsbetting can be more profitable than any of these activities, but it also requires an incredible amount of study, insight, and knowledge in order to be a profitable wager. Most people can't or won't demonstrate the commitment necessary to make that happen.

My thinking is that blackjack is the easiest of these to learn to play well, and if you're completely new to the game of 21, I think you'll find the tutorials and lessons on how to play pretty helpful.

Online casino gambling for real money is more popular in 2020 than ever before. You can also play free casino games without risking your hard earned cash.

Black jack success

The foundations for online blackjack success include knowing how to play blackjack, and knowing a little bit about blackjack strategy. Card counting comes after you've mastered the basics. At the time of this writing, I'm still learning to play blackjack well, although I play better than many people.

But stephen covey points out that the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else. So I'm doing the reading and the studying necessary to teach people how to play winning blackjack, and I'd imagine by the time I'm finished writing this site I'll be something of an expert player.

A complete novice at blackjack gives the casino a 2% edge over him. Mastering basic strategy can reduce that to between 0.5% and 1%. Counting cards can actually give you an advantage of 0.2% to 1%.

Playing blackjack on betway

Hit or stand? 21 or bust? Blackjack is one of the most iconic casino games there is, and when you play blackjack online at betway we give you the real casino experience.

Feel the rush as the cards hit the green table, and the thrill of watching what the next card will be. When you’ve got chips on the table, the possibilities are endless.

Betway offers a range of online blackjack card games for you to choose from, including the chance to play against real dealers in real time at our live blackjack tables. Give it a try and you’ll see that playing online blackjack is as thrilling as playing in-person.

So come along and try our online blackjack, take on the dealer, and put the chips on the table.

At the end of the day, it really comes down to one question: hit or stand?

Blackjack games

There are a range of variations from classic blackjack, european blackjack, atlantic city blackjack, spanish blackjack and even super fun 21. So, whatever your style, you can find the online blackjack game that suits you.

While all the basic rules of blackjack remain the same (get higher than the dealer, get 21, don’t go bust) there are a couple of differences across all the blackjack card games.

They vary on areas such as the number of decks used, when you’re allowed to split cards, if you can surrender your cards, and if the dealer peeks to see if they have a blackjack 21.

Here’s some of the differences of how to play blackjack variations:

Classic blackjack

• One of the most common versions of online blackjack.


• Uses 8 decks.


• Dealers must hit if they have 16 or less, or on a soft 17.


• Blackjack is paid at odds of 3:2.


• You cannot ‘surrender’ cards at classic blackjack tables. But you can buy ‘insurance’ if you think the dealer is going to hit blackjack.

European blackjack

• Uses two decks.


• You can only double down on hands with a value of 9, 10 or 11.


• You can only split a hand once.


• You can only split like-valued 10 cards.

Atlantic city blackjack

• Very similar to classic blackjack.


• Uses 8 decks.


• You can split cards up to three times.


• The dealer must stand on both hard and soft 17.


• You can double down after splitting cards.


• If the dealer’s face up card is an ace or a card worth 10, they peek at their face down card to see if they have a blackjack 21.


• You have the option to surrender your hand.

Spanish blackjack aka spanish 21

• Uses six to eight decks with the number 10 cards removed.


• The dealer peeks, like in atlantic city blackjack.


• You have the option to surrender your hand


• A player’s 21 always beats a dealer’s 21.


• The dealer hits on a soft 17.


• You can double down more than once.

Live blackjack

• As, we mentioned before, there’s also our live blackjack, where you can play against real dealers, and watch them deal right in front of you.


• You’ll be playing the classic blackjack variation.


• Wager as high or low as you want, we’ve got online blackjack tables that range from 50p up to £10,000.


• Speak to our dealers via the live chat.

You’ll be able to find all these options in the blackjack tab of the betway casino, and live casino sites. There you’ll see the huge variety of online blackjack games.

Betway also offers a user-friendly gaming experience across all platforms; desktop, tablet and mobile. So, you can play wherever and whenever you want.

How to play blackjack

The rules of blackjack are straightforward; you’re dealt two cards to begin, while the dealer has one card face up. You can choose to hit or stand, and will win if you have a higher combination than the dealer, or if the dealer goes bust. The dealer is obliged to hit if they reach a total of 16, but they won’t hit if they reach a hard 17.

Here are a few key blackjack card game terms to know:

Hard or soft
aces can equal 1 or 11, meaning your blackjack hand can be hard or soft. A soft hand is when your ace can go either way (ace and a 9 could be worth 10, or 20). A hard hand when the value of the ace is just 1, because as a 11 it would put your total over 21.

Push
if you and the dealer end up on the same number, you get your bet back.

Hit or stand
one of the most iconic phrases in a casino – hit to ask for another card, stand to stay with what you have.

Double down
you can only double down on your first two cards. You can double your initial bet, but can only draw one more card and then stand.

Blackjack 21
when you get an ace and a card valued at 10. You’ll get an extra payout here at 3:2 depending on the type of blackjack you’re playing

Insurance
when the dealer has an ace face-up, you have the option to place a sidebet on the chance that the dealer has blackjack. It pays 2:1 so if you lose your main bet, you’ll still break even.

Split
when you are dealt two of the same card you can double your bet to split them into two hands.

Surrender
similar to insurance in that it offers you a chance to partially save your hand in case the dealer has a better-looking hand. You surrender your hand and half your bet.

Side games

In addition to your main bet, there’s available side games, such as perfect pairs and 21+3.

Perfect pairs
this is where you bet on whether your first two cards will match in any way, i.E. Same number, same suit.

• Mixed pair (e.G.: 2 of hearts and 2 of spades): A mixed pair is a pair made up of two different colours (red/black). This pays 6:1.


• Colour pair (e.G.: 3 of hearts and 3 of diamonds): this is a pair of the same colour but different suits. This pays 12:1.


• Perfect pair (e.G.: jack of hearts and jack of hearts): this is a pair of cards of the same rank AND suit. It pays 25:1.

Another bet based on the first cards shown in the game. Similar to three card poker, you’ll win based on your first two cards and the dealers first face up card.

• Flush - three cards of the same suit.


• Straight - three cards in a numerical row.


• Three of a kind - three cards of the same number/rank.


• Straight flush - three cards in a numerical row, and of the same suit.


• Suited three of a kind - three cards of the same number/rank, and of the same suit.

The payouts range from 5:1 for a flush up to a 100:1 for a suited three of a kind.

Blackjack strategy

Despite its simplicity, blackjack is a game with some special nuances.

Do you buy insurance? Do you split your cards? Do you hit on 16?

Ask any player how to play blackjack and they could all give you their own unique blackjack strategy.

While everyone has their personal preference, there are some key blackjack strategy tips to keep in mind.

Blackjack strategy tips:

• Hit on a hard 11 or less.


• Stand on hard 12 if the dealer has 4-6, otherwise hit.


• Stand on hard 13-16 if the dealer has 2-6, otherwise hit.


• Stand on a hard 17 or higher.


• Hit on a soft 17 or lower.


• Stand on soft 18 unless a dealer has 9, 10, or ace.


• Stand on soft 19 or higher.

Buy insurance?

This one can be divisive. Some blackjack players swear by never taking insurance. The best it’ll give you is a breakeven if the dealer has blackjack. Typical blackjack strategy is to avoid it, though it may be worth considering if no other 10s or aces have been dealt.

Split your cards?

An opportunity to wager more and double your bet, but most blackjack strategy would often advise to stay with what you’ve got.

Aces and 8s is the standard rule, as two 8s only give you 16 (not always a strong hand) and two aces give you a better shot at 21, when split.

If dealt a pair of 10s, be sure to stand as you’re not likely to improve on your hand. If dealt a pair of nines, the best strategy is to split if the dealer has 2-9. However, if the dealer has a seven, 10 or ace it makes more sense to stand.

Double down

Because you only get one more card on a double down, it’s important to know when to play it.

Also, similar to splitting, you have the chance to win more, but will have to stake more.

The best blackjack strategy for the double down is only to do it when your hand value is equal to 10 or 11.

An important note

Remember these are only tips, and there’s no guarantee you’ll win purely by following this. But knowing when it’s time to take the next card, and when it’s time to stay with what you’ve got is a massive advantage on your way to winning online blackjack.

And of course, please remember when you’re playing online blackjack with betway, that you play responsibly.

Tips on how to play blackjack online for real money

There's one difference between people who play blackjack online and players who play this popular game at land-based casinos in las vegas, atlantic city, venice, macau, and more.

If you play online, you mean business.

That's what smart players do.

If you play online blackjack for real money, you don't log into a top online casino after the fifth beer or after a long night out with your friends.

When you play at a brick-and-mortar casino, however…sometime it happens.

The last time this happened to me was a couple of weeks ago, in vilnius, lithuania.

I entered the casino around midnight and I left at 4 am - with far less money then I had when I went in.

The only right side of the evening is that I did not lose as much as the polish guy next to me. He kept spreading piles of €100 chips over two tables like those were candies.

I only had one pile of €10 chips - and I didn't multi-table. In other words: I survived.

Since your goal is to play smart, be wise, and win money, I have prepared a few blackjack tips that will help you to get better when you play online.

If you are a beginner and you are about to play your first real money blackjack games online, consider these tips a must.

You need to read them. And you need to follow them.

Before you play blackjack online

Never played online blackjack in your life?

Don't bet real money on your first hand of blackjack.

Blackjack is a table game that requires some research beforehand. Before your first bet, you have to know:

• The blackjack rules


• The basic terminology of blackjack


• The basic blackjack strategy


• The different types of blackjack games you can play

This beginner's guide to blackjack is a great place to start if you start from zero.

Those who are a little more experienced can skip the intro guide to this popular game and move straight to the basics of the best blackjack strategy.

That should be enough to get you a bit more action.

Remember: you can play online blackjack for free at most of the sites on the list above.

Many games are available in demo mode and you can (or should) keep playing new ones until you find your favourite variation of the game.

Getting the basics right helps you defy the house edge and make money.

Once you are done with the two articles and you have used the PDF cheat sheet to practice your games for at least 100 hands of free blackjack online - then you are ready to play blackjack online for real money.

You can now try to beat the dealer.

Blackjack bonuses to play online

You want to win as much as possible… and spend as little as possible.

When you play a card game online like blackjack, this isn't always possible.

Unless you decide to take the bonus route and make finding the best bonuses for blackjack the first step of your gaming experience.

Blackjack bonuses help you build your bankroll and get extra funds for your games. If you don't have a lot of money to play blackjack, you better look at what are the best bonuses to get you started.

There are two kinds of bonuses to play real money blackjack games:

• The deposit bonuses


• The no deposit bonuses

With a deposit bonus you get free money when you deposit real money into your account. You get a cash match of a certain percentage and play with more money than you deposited.

Casinos might double, triple, or even quadruple your deposits, giving you a lot of extra cash to play for real money.

Before we move onto the no deposit side of things (aka. The free money we all like), let me spend a few more words on the blackjack bonus available at betway casino.

If you plan to play more than just a few hands of blackjack online for real money, you ought to consider this bonus. And not only because betway is one of the top online blackjack sites at the start of 2020.

Download & play best highroller casinos 2020

Hey, world! Welcome to 1highrollercasino.Com – a site devoted to online casinos and slots.

I’m arivoli rublorees, who delivers reviews and video, featuring stories from 3 highrollers!

Arnold aka black aussie high-limit whale who pocketed more than 1m, playing high roller games, in 2019.

VIP joe marketing manager and bonus expert who shares tips, strategies with a focus on casinos VIP programs.

US satoshi USA programmer and crypto expert who gives his opinion and advice on crypto casinos.

1st high roller casino: the new beginning

Woohoo! New high rollers are ‘in the city’! But before we begin…

1highrollercasino.Com was acquired by arnold aka black, VIP joe, US satoshi in 2019. How did it happen? Once a profit-making website began to lose the popularity and its customers along. The previous owner didn’t want to do anything about it, and gave up on the site. So he put it up for a sale.

Meanwhile, three highrollers had met on one igambling forum. And since then they have been carrying on a correspondence about casino brands, VIP programs, high-limit games, innovations, technology, casino rewards and many more. After a few months of the correspondence, they came up with an idea to start up a site, the platform they can use to share their knowledge, tips, give guides, and EXPERIENCE.

What exactly does it give to you? It’s sort of a professional look of three VIP players at different aspects of online gambling, such as…

• What terms apply to bonuses besides wagering


• Is email address enough for fast user access


• What are limits for withdrawals


• Bank options, also referred to as payment services, to use to gamble responsibly in your country


• What is a decent game selection


• What offers to accept


• Which wager amounts per day/week, and requirements, are reasonable


• Rating of any new casino shown up in the market

I believe this and the latest news will make sure you understand the online casinos industry better and would be able to receive all kinds of advantages, again, thanks to our real life players’ reviews of best online casinos, well, and not really. Everything described or mentioned is based on true events and is a true story. In fact, I, the writer on the site, check every word said, if their picks coincide with the rest of the world, and casinos, being recommended by multiple independent casino sources, besides us. They are not just players who set high stakes – they are much smarter guys than you think. You need to get to know them better, like you really do.

Back to the story. They didn’t want to run it on their own, so reserved the right to stay incognito. And here I am!

I’m arivoli rublorees, who is responsible for all the interviews and reviews about the online casino industry published on the blog. Just a few more words about me… I am from the united kingdom, where I got my education in E-business and social media. I am a journalist, SMM and blogger altogether. I’m 34 years old if you wonder. I love gambling – online and land-based -, and right now I want to help online players who think of joining an online casino but don’t know where to begin or whom to trust, with so many questionable casino reviews and sources in the internet.

So the vips reached me out and offered to become the contributor on the site. I said that online players around the globe might become so sick and tired of a monoculture of casino reviews. So I convinced the highrollers to make up these nicknames – “arnold aka black”, “VIP joe”, “US satoshi”. Thankfully, some details leak out from interview to interview, and you can see what I uncovered about the highrollers private lives.

Please welcome the highrollers and our gambling insiders. The businessmen can afford to make $1K bets. Therefore, I call each a highroller. However..

Online casino high rollers are just like us (ordinary players). They look for the best promotions, loyal operators when it comes to gameplay T&cs compliance. Of course. Of course, they differ too, they are 100% obsessed with their privacy and security!

It’s not me, these are the words of US satoshi, a founder of a crypto company from the USA, VIP joe, a market manager and businessman from the UK, and arnold aka black, an aussie millionaire, perhaps, the best known fact about him is about his BIG WIN – a top progressive jackpot on mega moolah. I’ve read a lot of stories about online casino winners but wasn’t being able to confirm or contradict them. Here comes a chance to take interviews from real winners.

Are we useful for high rollers only?

We made the blog for all the UK, USA, canada, australia, new zealand, germany, italy (but not limited to the countries) beginners at a real money betting to make sure you will play at the licensed online websites, regulated in accordance with the interactive gambling laws in your specific region. We compile separate sections with casino brands, such as most trusted malta (MGA) licensed web sites, or UK, USA, AU oriented casinos. Yep. You can be sure I am very attentive to details. This is my ‘super power’ because of which, actually, three casino affiliate managers decided I am ‘the guy’ for the job.

With so many opportunities in the internet, should there be casino reviews from unqualified gambling experts appeared from nowhere? That’s right. The listed and recommended above casinos are tried out by our high rollers. Choose to ‘play’ or ‘review’ gaming sites from our list, and be safe. All casino urls are verified. Every single process – registration, first depositing, first and consecutive withdrawing, verification, playing games – is explained in the plain english.

Exclusively to real players on 1highrollercasino.Com, businessmen agreed to reveal the things going behind the artificially inflated ratings at high roller casinos, a circus with operators licensing and regulating worldwide. I’m also talking about their affiliate practice, bankroll management, best-paying games, by and large online high-limit slots, services used, and MORE is ahead.

For years, 3 casino highrollers have been playing for real money online and offline in a record-breaking amount of highroller gaming sites worldwide. Let’s take the advantage, guys! Thousands of highroller-friendly operators have been tested, games played and promotions checked out. Just take a look!
