Blackjack is one of the most popular and recognized games in modern casinos. It offers the best percentage of return when the player is patient and keeps track of all cards which have been used.
An online casino version of Blackjack is played using European Blackjack rules. Blackjack is a game where the player competes against the dealer. The game is played on a semi-circular table with 5 playing positions and wagers are placed in the circles provided. Cards are dealt from a deck of cards called a shoe containing 4 standard 52-card decks (no jokers) that are shuffled after each hand.
How to Play Blackjack European Rules
The basic rule of the game is get a hand higher than the dealer without going over 21. If the face value of your cards is a Blackjack (Ace and a face card), or if the dealer's cards are lower than yours you win !!! In this version, the dealer must hit on all hands totaling 16 or less and stand on all hands totaling 17 or more.
When starting the Blackjack European Rules game for the first time, the blackjack table is empty - no cards or wagers are on the table and the default wager amount is active.
You now decide how much you want to wager and how many hands you want to play and then place your wager(s) on the table. Once you have completed placing your wager(s) you can start the game by clicking on the DEAL button.
Two cards are dealt at each player position that has a wager and two cards are given to the dealer. One of the dealer's cards remains face down and all other cards are turned face up.
As soon as the last card is turned face up you are able to the HIT or STAND. and when applicable you are able to SPLIT, DOUBLE, or buy INSURANCE. If possible you have to decide to SPLIT or DOUBLE before choosing to HIT or STAND. Once you've made your decision to buy INSURANCE you can then SPLIT, DOUBLE, HIT or STAND.
If your dealt hand contains an Ace and a 10 or a face card then you have a BLACKJACK, also called a NATURAL, and play is automatically moved to the next available hand.
If the value of your hand exceeds 21 then you have gone BUST and have lost this hand and play automatically moves to the next available hand.
When the player's hand(s) are completed the dealer's hand is played out. Once the dealer's hand is complete, your hand(s) is compared to the dealer's hand to determine win(s) or loss(es) and to update your casino account balance accordingly.
To play again you click on the REBET button and then click on the DEAL button.
Blackjack European Rules Hands
Bust - All hands that exceed 21 lose, even if the dealer also goes BUST. If the dealer goes BUST but the player's hand is under 21 the player wins.
Blackjack - All hands that are dealt an Ace and a 10 or a face card win, unless the dealer also has a BLACKJACK – a PUSH.
Insurance Bets - All hands that purchased INSURANCE win if the dealer has a BLACKJACK – you will break even; if the dealer doesn't have a BLACKJACK the INSURANCE bet loses.
Push - If the dealer's hand total and the player's hand total are the same then the hand is a tie or PUSH and the player's bet is returned.
Other - If the dealer's hand and the player's hand are both under 21 the hands are compared. If the player's hand is closer to 21 the player wins, if the dealer's hand is closer to 21 the player loses.
