If there’s one game that any casino player in Ireland is sure to be familiar with, it’s got to be Blackjack. Online Blackjack is one of the most frequently played casino table games at any online casino and land-based casinos too. The game of Blackjack or ‘21’, as it’s still sometimes referred to, is a classic card game that’s been around since the 1700s where the goal is for the player to beat the dealer by having a higher hand than theirs. If you don’t know anything about Blackjack, the most important rule that you’ll want to wrap your head around first is that if you go over the important number ‘21’, you’ll go bust and you’re instantly out of the game. So, the goal is to get as close to 21 as you can without going over it.

Interested in learning more about how to play Blackjack online? Then keep reading this Blackjack online guide where you’ll learn all about this classic casino game and all the variations that you can try out once you’ve got the basics down. We’ll also go over all the basic rules which will help you learn how to play Blackjack online in no time. Finally, we’ll also reveal our top tips for playing Blackjack games online to help you play in the most optimal way possible.

The Basic Rules And Gameplay Of Blackjack Games At Online Casinos

As we mentioned briefly in the introduction to this Blackjack online guide, the simple goal of any Blackjack game is to beat the dealer by having a higher hand value than them. Many times, you’ll read that the goal when you play Blackjack online is to reach 21 or as close to 21 as you can without going over, but in reality, as long as the value of your hand is higher than the dealer’s, you’ll still win the round, so you don’t necessarily need to reach 21.

The number 21 is important because if you do manage to reach a total score of 21, not only will you beat the dealer but you’ll also win the highest payout possible in Blackjack games online. If you exceed 21, you’ll go bust right away and you’ll lose the round.

These are the two most basic rules to keep in mind if you’re interested in playing online Blackjack real money, but there are also several other rules that you’ll want to be aware of if you want a chance to win at Blackjack online. The table below summarises all the most important online Blackjack rules.

Rule No.	Rule	Description
1	Your hand value must not exceed 21.	If you go over 21, this is referred to as going ‘bust’, which means you lose the game.
2	A tie with the dealer results in a ‘push’.	If there’s a ‘push’, you get your initial bet back.
3	Bets are always placed before any cards are dealt.	Once every player has placed their bet on the table, the dealer deals the cards. The same happens in online Blackjack; you select your bet, and the cards will be dealt afterwards.
4	The cards are dealt face-up in Blackjack.	At the start of the game, the dealer deals two face-up cards.
5	The dealer’s cards consist of one face-up card and one face-down card.	One of the dealer’s cards remains hidden at this point.
6	Different card values apply in Blackjack.	The cards from two to nine are counted at face value, while the Ten and the face cards have a value of 10. The Ace is worth a one or an 11, depending on whichever number is most advantageous to your current hand.
7	Once the cards are dealt, you have the option to ‘hit’.	To ‘hit’ refers to the option of receiving a third card.
8	You may also stand when your cards are dealt.	If you’re happy with your initial two cards, you stand.
9	You can double your initial bet if you would like to.	Once your cards are dealt, you have the option of doubling down.
10	Pairs can be split into two separate bets.	There are different rules according to which Blackjack game you’re playing, but in most cases, you can split a pair into two new hands.
11	The dealer stands on 17.	The dealer must keep taking more cards until they reach a hand of 17.

Next, decide how much you want to bet on that round and place your bet.
The cards will be dealt, and you’ll receive two face-up cards.
Now, you’ll need to decide whether you’d like to hit or stand, depending on whether you’re happy with your initial hand or not.
The dealer’s face-down card is revealed at this stage and if they haven’t reached a total of 17, they must hit and take another card. The dealer will only stand once they’ve reached 17.
Whoever is closer to 21, will win the round. If the total of all your cards is higher than the dealer’s (but not higher than 21), you win the round. If you go over 21 or if the dealer has a higher hand than yours, you lose the round.

Tips To Play Online Blackjack For Real Money

Ready to play online Blackjack real money games and put your skills to the test? Before you jump into any Blackjack game, take some time to learn about the top tips to keep in mind when playing Blackjack online for real money. Although Blackjack is predominantly a game of luck, there is an element of skill involved too, so be sure to keep these tips in mind. These include:

Find the right table
Learn the basic Blackjack strategy
Start with minimum bets
Master bankroll management

Find The Right Table

Pick the right table by checking the paytable and the rules of that particular table. The most important rules you should always look out for when choosing a Blackjack table are that the dealer stands on 17 and that a Blackjack pays out at 3:2. There are a few tables which pay 6:5 for a Blackjack, but the house edge is higher in these games, which is why you’ll want to avoid a table with this kind of payout.

Learn The Basic Blackjack Strategy

If you’d like to play Blackjack online with the best odds of winning, you’ll definitely want to consider learning basic Blackjack strategy. This will help you know exactly what to do for the specific hand you’re holding, so if you’re stuck between hitting or standing, you can refer to basic strategy to guide you towards the best move to make.

Start With The Minimum Bets

Playing with smaller bets is the best and most responsible way to get started when playing online Blackjack real money or even live casino Blackjack. If you start betting the maximum right away, you’re sure to eat away at your bankroll within a few rounds whereas if you place smaller bets, you’ll be risking less and potentially avoiding big losses too.

Master Bankroll Management

Besides starting out with smaller bets, knowing how to manage your bankroll well is one of the most vital tips when playing Blackjack online, and the importance of this tip should not be underestimated. Remember, you should never bet any money you can’t afford to lose, and you should always have a budget in mind before you play Blackjack online.

Discover The History Of Blackjack

The origins of the Blackjack game are somewhat mysterious, as there are a few different theories on where the game actually originated from and how it all began. The most widely accepted theory which we’ll be exploring a little bit in this section is that Blackjack was originally invented in France around the 18^th century.

Originally called ‘Vingt-et-Un’, or ‘Twenty One’ in English, it’s believed that the game of Blackjack we know today originated from a little game known as Chemin de Fer, a card game which was played back in 1700 by French royalty.

The game of ‘Vingt-et-Un’ eventually gained popularity all over France, with several variations and versions popping up in the country, and not amongst the elite only. Later in the 18^th century, the game became started to pick up all over America too, appearing in New Orleans when gambling halls were in the process of becoming legalised.

Although the game started becoming more popular around the globe, it wasn’t exactly the Blackjack we know today. In fact, it wasn’t even called Blackjack just yet. Up until much of the 20^th century Blackjack that was particularly popular in Nevada was simply called ‘21’ in America. Finally, the name was changed to Blackjack and the game became pretty much what we know and play around casinos today.

Now that we’ve gone over how to play online Blackjack, a few tips, and even some history regarding how the game came to be, it’s time to check out a few Blackjack tables for yourself. Head over to Platincasino and check out our online Blackjack titles today! Will you be able to beat the dealer?
