Long before online casinos appeared ,
Blackjack was one of the most popular
casino and gambling games. Today,
with hundreds of online casinos, more
and more people play Blackjack.
Since Blackjack is mainly a game of
skill, unlike many other casino games,
many sites offer free play for novice
players.
Blackjack Variations
Normal Blackjack
Even normal Blackjack has variations. The first
and most obvious variation is the number of
decks played. Blackjack can be played with a
single deck of cards, or with as many as 8 decks
- and perhaps even more in some places. In
some cases automatic continuous card shufflers
are now in use.
A second common variation in Normal Blackjack
is in regard to dealer play. Dealer’s must stop
hitting their hand when they have reached a hard
17 points. Hard count means that those 17
points either do not include an ace or if an ace is
there, that it is counted as only one point and not
eleven. However, in some casinos a dealer
stops hitting on a soft 17 - a seventeen count
where an ace counts as eleven points, and in
some casinos the dealers are instructed to hit a
soft 17. At one time Lake Tahoe casinos, for
example, would hit soft 17’s but Las Vegas
dealers would not hit soft 17’s. Now dealers in
both locations mostly hit soft 17 hands.
Variations:

Atlantic City Blackjack (Cryptologic casinos)

Multi-Hand Blackjack (Microgaming casinos)
Vegas Strip Blackjack
Vegas Downtown Blackjack

Black jack is a
high-speed, high
adrenaline game.
When playing , you
have to think fast.
Place your bets and
decide whether you
want another card or
not, and then decide
on the other factors
of the game. It is
not a game for
people that like to
think a lot or play a
slow quiet game.
There are times
when the game can
be particularly
intense, and then
the pressure builds,
and you really have
to think fast .

What Is Elimination Blackjack™?
It’s a brand new way to play Blackjack
that will leave you breathless! If you love
the thrill of poker and the excitement of
blackjack, you’re ready to play and win at
Elimination Blackjack.
If you've already played Blackjack, you're
halfway there. In Elimination Blackjack,
you still play each hand against the
dealer. However, here's where it gets
interesting:
You're also trying to accumulate the
largest amount of chips along the way.
The player with the least amount of
chips after hands 8, 16 and 25 is
eliminated.
To make it even more interesting, we've
introduced something called a Secret
Bet. Each player has one Secret Bet per
round, allowing you to bet a certain
amount of chips without letting the other
players know what your bet is. This
introduces an element of bluffing not
found in other versions of Blackjack
