Blackjack is theoretically a simple online casino game

Most of the new casino games we can play at our online casinos are of course slots games of which there is now a huge variety, but we should not forget the traditional casino games such as roulette and blackjack. Clearly both of these traditional casino games were readily available before online casinos were introduced if you had the opportunity to visit a real casino, but many new online casino fans did not have easy access to a real casino and therefore did not have the chance to play these games. Regular visitors to this site will know that we are firm supporters of the more traditional casino games and actively encourage new casino games players to give them a go. In theory blackjack is one of the simplest traditional casino games because it is based on the game of pontoon which many of us played as children, but there are a few tips which will improve your chances of winning. The first of these is to be clear what the real objective is when playing blackjack. The aim of the game is not, repeat not to achieve a hand as close as possible to 21, it is simply to beat the dealer. Remember the one advantage that the player has over the dealer is that the dealer must draw a card on 16. In view of the fact that 60% of the cards in a deck will bust a hand of 16 it is an important element of the game. The second tip we can give is to be aware of the odds of a particular card being drawn from a standard deck. For example 16 of the 52 cards in a standard deck have a value of 10 and there are eleven combinations of two cards which would total 20, plus of course four aces which would further improve a hand. The casino game of blackjack is a game of chance but if the dealer is showing a 10 remember that the most likely outcome statistically is 20 or 21. Make your decisions accordingly and the best of luck.
