Fancy Yourself a Blackjack Pro?

Blackjack is one of the all-time great games - also here at Everygame Casino!  The idea is so simple that anyone can learn the basics in a matter of minutes.  The key aspect of blackjack that determines most of the game’s strategy is that players go first and have to stay at 21 points or less in order to be able to win.

If you go over 21, you lose automatically.

Nuances of Blackjack

The game developed over the decades to include many nuances or strategy moves that greatly enhanced players’ ability to win money in the long term.  Here is a short list:

• The dealer has to hit with 16 points or less.  This means that the dealer will very often hit with a point count that most players would not hit on!
• Players can double down with point counts that give then a good chance for 20-21 points.  In some games you can double down with any point count.  When you double down, you get only one card.
• You can split pairs or ten-point cards.  In some variations of blackjack, you can split again if you get another pair.
• In some varieties of blackjack, if you think that the chances are high that you’ll lose, you can surrender and lose only half of your bet.
• If the dealer is showing an ace, you can buy insurance to protect your bet against the dealer getting 21 points.

So Many Rules Mean So Many Variations

There are many variations of blackjack and each has its own unique way of defining the nuances.  For example, we offer Super-21 which has special bonuses for getting 21 with five or six cards or blackjack with the red diamonds.

So, in order to play Super-21 well, you need to know the rules very well and we suggest that you play the game for a while in our unlimited free play mode.  When you feel confident, you’ll be ready to play for real money!

We also offer classic blackjack and European Blackjack.  The main difference in the two games is whether the dealer hits with a soft 17—a six and an ace—and when you can double down.  In European Blackjack, you can double down only with point counts of 9, 10, or 11 points.

Study the Game for Best Results

With good strategy, you can get very close to a 100% return to player rate.  You can play blackjack for hours and either win some or lose some.

Studying blackjack is the key.  For example, many players always stand when they have 12 points or more.  While it is good strategy to stand with 16 points, it is not always good strategy to stand with 12 or 13 points.

Here it all depends on what the dealer’s up card is.  You can print a strategy card for every variation and make yourself almost unbeatable in the long run.

When to Employ One of the Nuances

Let’s say that you have two ten point cards.  Should you split these cards?  Well, every strategy card will say not to split these cards because you already have the second best point count!  But if you have a pair of nines—just one number less per card—it is almost always correct to split those cards.

First of all, 18 points is not as strong a hand as many think it is and, second, by splitting, you give yourself a good chance to get 19 points at least once!

Doubling down is another subtlety that players need to master for best results.  Everyone knows that they should double down with 11 points but how about 10 points or 9 points?

A Great Cerebral Game

Blackjack challenges players’ minds in ways that most games can’t.  When you sit down to play blackjack, you know that you’ll be making a lot of decisions.  This is exactly what appeals to the most fervent blackjack players: the requirement that they pay close attention to every card!
