Online Blackjack Variations
Online casino players prefer novelty and love to try out new games. Blackjack fans get to try out various versions of the game when playing at online casinos. It is but obvious that players get bored playing the same version of the game all the while.
There are different variations of blackjack available for online casino players. The simplest version is the Regular Blackjack which is the normal game played at online casinos. While playing this version, players have to get a hand better than the dealer’s and try and be as close to 21 as possible. The dealer hits on 16 or under and stands on 17’s in this game.
Whether an online casino offers a specific blackjack game depends on the software they have. It is said that Microgaming Casinos offer a greater variety of blackjack as compared to other casino software providers. Blackjack Surrender is another game available to blackjack fans where the player can surrender when the dealer has a favourable hand, while the player doesn’t. The player gets half of their original bet back on surrendering and this ensures that they don’t have to bear a total loss.
Live Blackjack is really popular amongst online casino players as it offers the excitement of playing with real cards. Players get to see real cards and a dealer and this version offers the same experience as that of playing at a land based casino.
Playtech Casinos offer some versions of Blackjack, three of which are Blackjack Switch, Lucky Blackjack and 21 Duel Blackjack. Lucky Blackjack is similar to standard blackjack and follows the same rules. Players are not dealt any cards and they have to guess what the dealer must have got with their options starting at 17 and going up to 21.
Blackjack Switch is an interesting game where players are dealt two hands of cards which they’re able to switch cards from hand to the other if it gives them more favourable hands. 21 Duel Blackjack is said to be a bit complex to understand but an interesting game. It includes a side bet for perfect pairs and three of a kind.
Gambling Affiliate Creates Blackjack Money Tool
An online gambling affiliate has released a new system that finds online blackjack players the top free money promotions that can be claimed with famous online casinos. Gaming Supermarket, which launched earlier this year, has launched the new functionality to help people discover the offers which don’t carry any catches.
Gaming Supermarket Blackjack displays only the secure online gaming portals, including the likes of Will Hill and Sky Vegas, and already has over Eighty Pound in totally free money offers that people can claim right now. The thing that differentiates the system from the many other affiliates that provide a bonus finder of their own, Gaming Supermarket only provides players the offers which do not need an initial deposit to be made.
Jason Smith, Head of of Gaming Supermarket, said:
“During tough times in the economy, people are constantly looking for ways in which they can make some quick cash. With our innovative functionality, players can clearly see where they can claim free money without having to make any initial deposits”.
While Gaming Supermarket develops systems for online blackjack market, a student, who studies in The UK, has produced software that he says will aid the combat of combat card counting at land based casinos.
The recent news article, distributed via the BBC, tells us that a college student, who studies in Dundee, has produced a PC programme that can monitor blackjack casino tables with such precision that it can indentify card counters or errors made by the dealers. The PC programme monitors the dealers actions and judges the decisions that are made by people at the table.
