Blackjack Online Strategy

Types of Blackjack, its basic rules and strategies

Blackjack is one of the most popular casino banking games in the world, and one of the reasons for its popularity is the number of variations it has. Many casinos offer this game or its variants and you can choose to either play for money or play Bjackjack for free. The most popular kinds are:

• Classic Blackjack: the game that started it all, requires the player to compete against the dealer and to somehow 'beat' the dealer. Classic Blackjack is also known as 'twenty-one.' This is because the end of this game can be achieved in three ways: by getting twenty-one points on the first two cards (a Blackjack) with a dealer Blackjack before, getting a final score greater than the dealer's but not exceeding twenty one, and finally, by letting the dealer draw extra cards till their score exceeds twenty-one.
• European Blackjack: this game is very similar to classic Blackjack, but differs on one major point. The dealer only places two cards, one for the gamer and the other for himself at first, and does not need to deal additional hands or take out his card before the gambler has finished all his hands. The reduced chances of winning raise the odds, and therefore make this game more exciting and popular.
• Blackjack Switch: a uniquely varied version of classic Blackjack, this game is really popular with gamblers that like playing online. This game is based on what is known as the original dishonest manoeuvre, which allows the player to switch cards between the two hands. Many gaming websites and casinos, particularly those that use Play Tech Software, give users this option online. Very similar to classic Blackjack, this game still differs enough, so a prudent user will need to know the best trading systems and strategies.
