The aim of blackjack is to beat the dealer’s hand without going over 21. To play, you’ll need to add up the card values in your hand. Follow the steps below and learn how to play blackjack:
You can follow these rules whether you’re playing blackjack at home, or playing blackjack online with friends.
Here’s a quick beginner’s guide to help you understand the essentials of playing blackjack online:
If you have two cards of the same value, you can split them into two separate hands by placing an equal bet on the new hand.
Extra bets placed before the cards are dealt. These usually involve predicting which cards will appear for you or the dealer.
On average, a blackjack hand has about a 42% chance of winning. Remember: outcomes are always based on chance.
Winning a hand usually pays 1:1. Landing a blackjack often pays 3:2 or 6:5, depending on the table rules.
Cards 2–10 count as face value, Kings/Queens/Jacks count as 10, and Aces count as 1 or 11. A blackjack is an Ace plus a 10-value card (21).
Although it is not possible to play live casino games in a free or demo version at Genting Casino, you will be able to play some demo versions of online blackjack games (those where you play against a computer).
To be able to play free or demo games, you must have completed and verified your registration. Remember that you can only win real money prizes if you place a real money bet.
Online casino games are those which are played against a computer, using a Random Number Generator (RNG) to determine outcomes. Live casino games feature a real dealer, and you can watch them deal the cards via video streaming technology.
An ace in blackjack will have a value of 11 unless that would give a player or the dealer a score in excess of 21 - in which case, it has a value of 1.
If you are dealt two cards of the same value, you can split them for the cost of an additional bet. Most players decide to split Aces in blackjack, since it gives you two chances to beat the dealer.
As the name suggests, this side bet involves trying to predict whether you will be able to make a pair with your first two cards. A ‘perfect pair’ blackjack is when you get two of exactly the same card, but other possibilities include colour pairs (e.g., six of hearts and six of diamonds) and mixed pairs (e.g., six of hearts and six of spades).
7 Card Blackjack is not to be confused with traditional blackjack. 7 Card Blackjack is also sometimes called British Blackjack, Switch and a host of other names, and it involves attempting to eliminate all the cards in your hand by matching the suit or rank of the last-played card.
There is no blackjack betting strategy or tactic that can guarantee you a win at blackjack. Blackjack is a game of chance, and all outcomes are determined by luck. Remember this when you are playing, and never spend more than you can afford to lose. No blackjack strategy or blackjack tips can guarantee you a win.
Counting cards involves trying to keep track of all the cards that are dealt, so that you can predict which cards are left in the deck. As we said before, it’s important to remember that all outcomes are ultimately down to luck and chance, and there are no sure-fire strategies to guarantee a win.
Blackjack cheat sheets (sometimes called strategy charts) are used by some players to help them decide which move to make. The cheat sheets list all the possible hands, and suggest what to do if you have a certain hand. However, remember that all outcomes are due to chance, and no strategy can accurately predict or bring about a win.
An insurance bet can be played if the dealer’s face-up card is an Ace, and the idea is that it offers insurance against the dealer’s hand being blackjack. Insurance bet odds are usually set to 2:1, and the maximum bet allowed is generally half of the player’s main bet.
If you are dealing the cards in a blackjack game, you should give one face-up card to each player, moving clockwise around the table, and then one face-up card for yourself (the dealer). Then go around the table again, giving each player another face-up card, finally dealing yourself a face-down card.
If you click ‘hit’ in an online blackjack game, the dealer will deal you another card. In general, if the dealer’s card is six or lower it is advised to hit.
Surrendering means giving up half of your bet after you have seen your cards and the dealer’s face-up card. It is generally advised when the odds are against you, and you think that the dealer is likely to win.
21 + 3 is a fun variation of the standard blackjack game. After making a wager on the blackjack hand, you may make a side wager that is based on a three-card poker hand. The side wager is a bet that your original two cards combined with the dealer's face-up card will combine for a winning poker hand.
Evolution's First Person Blackjack games serve as the video game or RNG equivalents to their leading live games. They use superior 3D animation to present game action, unlike live blackjack which streams the action live from a real casino with real live dealers.
This 5 card trick in blackjack states that if you draw five cards without exceeding 21, you automatically win and the dealer will pay you even money.
