Blackjack is not a difficult online casino game

One of our objectives here at onlinecasino.ie is to encourage new online casino games players to try something new. We accept that most new online casino customers generally start with the slots because they are easy to play and require little or no skill or experience, but there are so many other traditional casino games available at the online casinos that we feel that many of these new casino games players may be missing out. Roulette for example is not a difficult casino game in principle, it is the multiple betting options that tend to complicate the issue. Blackjack is also a very simple game if you are clear about the objectives and give a little thought to the statistical odds of success. The rules of blackjack can be found on our casino games pages for those who have never played the game, but the most important piece of advice for new blackjack players is to remember that the object of the game is to beat the dealer, not get a 21 hand. We say this because we have seen many new blackjack players take unnecessary risks to obtain a 21 hand when already holding a potential winning hand. It is also important to remember that the dealer must draw a card on 16, which statistically means there is an almost 60% chance that the hand will bust. This is the only edge that a blackjack player has over the dealer so don’t throw it away. Equally if the dealer is holding a ten, bear in mind that the most likely statistical total of two cards in blackjack is 20 because there are actually eleven combinations of cards which create this total. Add to that the possibility of an ace and you can see that it is a good idea to be wary if the dealer is showing a ten. We would recommend anyone thinking of playing blackjack to have a quick look at the statistical odds of a winning card or cards being drawn. It is not a difficult calculation and will certainly enhance your chances of winning.
