BlackJack Online

So, you want to play Blackjack online and then, with a little luck, win Stars in the casino?

Then give this guide a read and get all the relevant information you need on the game to hit the ground running

The history of Blackjack dates way back before the time of online casino. In 1601, none other than Miguel de Cervantes, author of the classic novel, Don Quixote, wrote a short story about a game called ‘veintiuna’ (21 in Spanish).

Now, hundreds of years later, it is hard to imagine an online casino without the ever-popular card game.

Here’s how to play Blackjack

Why is this one of the most popular games in the world? Because it’s simple!
This tutorial will explain the various ways you can win at Blackjack:

• A: When you get 21 with the two cards dealt to you, and the online casino dealer does not.
• B: When your hand is higher than the dealers, and doesn’t go over 21 after all available cards have been dealt.
• C: When the online casino dealer gets more than 21 with his cards, and you don’t.

Game play: You receive two cards at the start of the game, the dealer gets one. You now have the choice to either keep the cards you have (stand) or get another one (hit). Players can hit as many times as they want until they get 21 with their cards or until they have gone over that number and are then declared bust.

So, you’ve decided to stand or better, you’ve got 21. Now it’s the dealers turn to make a move and show his hand! Important: dealers in the online casino always have to stick to the rules of Blackjack, and have to hit until they get 17 or more than the value of your cards, or until they get more than 21, and are declared bust!

In Blackjack, you have the following options:  Split, Double, or get Insurance

Split: This option is available to players when they draw two cards that have the same value. You will then be able to split the one hand into two hands. If the players get 21 with their cards, a normal and a non-Blackjack win will be awarded.
Double: Risk it all and double your stake! You will then receive a further card and hope for the best!
Insurance: This is only possible when the dealer himself draws an ace. You will then be able to take insurance, or better said, bet on the fact that he will get Blackjack with his two cards. If he gets 21, you win. If he doesn’t, you lose!

It’s all in the hands! How to fully understand online Blackjack

Value of the cards: The classic casino version of the game is played with six decks of 52, which is 312 cards in total. The number cards between 2 and 10 have the equivalent value of their numbers. Face cards (jacks, queens, and kings) are all worth ten points. The ace can either be worth one point, or eleven, depending on which value is more advantageous for the player.

Blackjack: This is achieved when the first two card you are drawn equal 21. The value of the Blackjack increases with the number of cards need to get 21.
