Learning How to Play Online Black Jack

According to several studies made on casino games, online black jack is described to be one of the few card games that have a low house advantage; basically, it means that when you’re playing online black jack, you’ve got a better chance of winning some cash for yourself than when you’re playing other games.

Therefore, if you’re still relatively new to online gambling then maybe it’s a good thing if you start with “safe” games like online black jack first. Although there’s still a possibility that you’ll lose money in the end, the risk is minimized at least if you’re playing online black jack.

Before we push through with Online Black Jack 101, we first want to enlighten you about the importance of choosing best site for playing online black jack. There are, we know, a lot of online casinos that let you play online black jack and tempt you with cash rebates, sign up bonuses and the likes. But the most important thing you should always consider when choosing where to play online black jack is the security of the site. You’re already risking your money when playing online black jack. Surely you don’t want to add to the risk by playing in a highly unsecured site as well?

Now that’s clear, let’s go on with the first few lessons of Online Black Jack 101.

For our first online black jack lesson, we’re going to tackle the counting system used in online black jack. It’s nothing difficult to learn so no need to take down notes. If you’ve played Lucky 9 before then know that the counting system used in online black jack is similar. In online black jack, cards with numbers 2 to 10 are counted as they’re meant to be. In online black jack, face cards, however, like the king, queen and their son – or is it their fool? – jack, are counted as 10. And lastly, there’s the ace. In online black jack, you’re given the choice to count the Ace as either 11 or 1.

For our second online black jack lesson, we’re going to tackle the goal and that’s simply to reach 21. To reach 21 in online black jack, you should have a face card plus Ace (10 + 11) – if it’s a jack and an ace, so much the better – or 9, 7 and 5. Be careful about drawing the maximum number of cards in online black jack because if your hand goes over 21 then that’s it. Sorry, dude, you lose a turn!

And that ends our Online Black Jack 101 for today. See you next time!
