Blackjack Set: 4
decks are used which is not very good, because as more decks are used as
more difficult it gets to keep track of the cards or to estimate your
chances correctly via card counting. Some online casinos use only one
deck. Additionally the cards are shuffled after every round (you
start off with the same conditions and probabilities every round) which
makes it quite impossible to keep track of the cards. You can bet up to $20 on each
of your hands. And since you always are dealt three hands the max
betting limit is $60. There are online casinos to let you wager higher on
blackjack (up to $1,000). The house edge is about 0.2% which is
very good. Rules: A blackjack will pay you 3 for 1 even if the Dealer has a blackjack, which is excellent since there is no other online casino offering such good conditions on a blackjack. You are automatically dealt 3 hands to play which is a great pleasure. But you cannot play each hand separately, so after drawing or doubling down a new card is |
Blackjack added to all of your hands which is not so good. If you would like to play only one hand place a bet on one hand only. But in order to win the progressive jackpot, you must bet "something" on all three hands and get blackjack on all three hands. The dealer stands on A-6 which is standard. Doubling down is allowed on any first two cards which is very good. There is no splitting pairs allowed. The dealer does not peak / check for blackjack until you are finished, so if the dealer does have blackjack then you will lose the total amount bet, including any additional from doubling which is very tough for the player and advantageous for the casino. Insurance is not offered if you think that the dealer might have a blackjack. No surrender is available. Strategy: The smart player will play the max bet ($20) on hand 1 and the minimum bet ($1) on hands 2 & 3. Now you should focus entirely on hand 1 and let the other 2 win or lose, without much worry. So, for an additional 10% of a basic $20 bet, you are giving yourself a chance to hit the big progressive jackpot. |
