HOW TO PLAY ONLINE BLACKJACK

Choose a Game: Browse our selection and select your preferred variant.
Place Your Bet: Decide on the amount you want to wager and place your bet.
Receive Your Cards: You and the dealer will both be dealt two cards, with one of the dealer's cards being face up.
Decide Your Move: Based on your cards and the dealer's visible card, choose to hit (take another card), stand (keep your current hand), double down (double your bet and take one more card), or split (if you have two cards of the same value, split the cards into two hands).
Dealer's Turn: After you've made your moves, the dealer will reveal their hidden card and draw additional cards if necessary, following the blackjack game's rules.
Determine the Winner: If your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer's without going over, you win. If the dealer's hand is closer, you lose. If you both have the same total, it's a push (tie).

ONLINE BLACKJACK TIPS

Know the Rules: Familiarise yourself with the basic blackjack casino game rules and card values before you start playing.
Gamble Responsibly: As an online casino, we prioritize safety and endorse responsible gaming.
Use Basic Strategy: Learn and apply basic blackjack game strategy to improve your chances of winning.
Manage Your Bankroll: Set a budget for your online gameplay sessions and stick to it to avoid overspending.
Avoid Insurance: Insurance bets generally have a high house edge and are not recommended.
Split Aces and Eights: Always split aces and eights to maximise your winning potential.
Stand on 17 or Higher: Avoid hitting if your hand total is 17 or higher to minimise the risk of busting.
Double Down on 10 or 11: Double down when your cards total 10 or 11, as you have a good chance of hitting a high-value card.

ONLINE BLACKJACK RULES

Understand the Goal: Aim for a hand total of 21 or as close as possible without going over. To win, your hand must beat the dealer's hand.
Know the Card Values: Cards 2-10 are worth their face value, royal cards (Jack, Queen, King) count as 10, and Aces can be worth either 11 or 1.
Decide On Your Moves:
Hit: Take another card to try to get closer to 21.
Double Down: Double the value of your wager and receive one more card.
Split: If you have two cards of the same value, you can split the cards into two hands.
Stand: Keep your current hand if you're satisfied with its total.
Understand the Outcomes:
Win: Your hand total is closer to 21 than the dealer's without exceeding 21.
Lose: The dealer's hand total is closer to 21 than yours, or your hand exceeds 21.
