Online Blackjack And Its Many Different Variations
Before you play blackjack games online it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with the numerous different variations of blackjack offered.
Classic Blackjack is played with a single, standard 52 card deck of cards, players can only bet on one hand at a time and have the option to double bets and split hands. Winning with a Blackjack pays out at odds of 3:2, any other winning hand pays out at odds of 1:1.
The Atlantic City blackjack game variation is played with eight standard decks of 52 cards. Like Classic Blackjack games a hand won with a Blackjack pays 3:2 and other winning hands 1:1. Unlike with Classic “European” Blackjack games Atlantic City Blackjack is an American hole game which means that the “hole” card (the second card dealt to the dealer) is dealt face down. In European Blackjack games this card is not dealt until all the players have played their hands. This game also has double and split options. Vegas Strip and Downtown rules are similar to those of Atlantic City Blackjack games but Vegas Strip is played with 4 regular decks and Vegas Downtown with 2.
Other variations include Double Exposure blackjack games in which both of the dealer’s cards are played face up, Super Fun 21 which pays a bonus for certain combinations such as a diamond blackjack, High Limit Blackjack which is played according to standard two deck European rules but has a higher maximum wager, Spanish Blackjack which is played with 8 unique packs (standard 52 card packs minus the 4 tens) and Multi-hand Blackjack which allows you to bet up to 5 hands at a time.
Online Blackjack is by no means limited to these variants, such is the scale of interest in the game at the moment. Cast around the internet ether and you’ll find all these versions of Blackjack and more, some with some pretty enticing introductory offers to boot.
