Exciting Online Blackjack at JackpotCity

Before you start exploring all of the different variations that we offer, including Atlantic City, high Streak and Double Exposure Blackjack among many others, it’s a good idea to learn the fundamentals of online Blackjack with the classic version of the game. You’ll have a better grasp of it, and can tackle the other styles with a lot more confidence and insight.
For the same reason, be sure to take advantage of the free play options that we offer at JackpotCity and build up your skills and confidence before you place any real money bets.

To begin playing, you will need to place a bet. After this you will be dealt 2 cards, and the Dealer will get the same. The objective of the game is always to beat the dealer all whilst aiming for a hand total of 21 or as near to this figure as you can, without going higher; or bust. You win the round if you get 21 on the dot, which is also known as Blackjack, if your hand and the Dealer’s hand are both under 21 but yours is higher, and if your total is below 21 but the Dealer’s is over.
Once the hands have been dealt, you’ll be able to see both of your cards and one of the Dealer’s. The royal cards carry a value of 10, the number cards are all worth their face value and, depending on the rest of the hand, the aces are worth 11 or 1. Based on the cards you can see, you need to decide what to do next.
The different versions of the game have a few different sets of rules regarding this, but in general you can Split your hand in two, Hit and get another card, Double your bet and stand when you’re satisfied with your hand. You can Stand whenever you want to, but there are generally specific requirements for when the Dealer can do so. Then, when you and the Dealer are both Standing, both hands are totalled and the winner of the round is determined.

The combination of sheer chance in the cards you are dealt and clever strategy in the decisions that you make with them, is one of the reasons why Blackjack is such a popular game in Canada. One of the few casino games in which you can influence the outcome, Blackjack remains a player favourite as it requires more than luck to win on a regular basis.
