Or secondly, you can download the free casino software and before registering a real account, you can play in practice mode (guest player) in the casino software. It’s your choice.

Before you start, you need to learn how to play blackjack and the rules of blackjack. Since there are so many different kinds of blackjack games available online, we will concentrate on the basic rules that apply to all of the different versions of blackjack.

To increase your chances of winning, following these simple rules:

The aim of the blackjack game is get cards that add up to a points total that is as close to 21 without exceeding that total. If you tie with the House, it is a push (draw), no one wins and you get your money back. So to be the winner you have to beat the dealer without going bust. You are bust when your cards total over 21.

Before receiving any cards you must place a bet. You are given 2 cards face up. The dealer gets 1 face up, 1 face down. You then have to decide to stick with the cards or to ask for more cards. Once that is done and if you haven’t gone bust, then the dealer turns up the down card to see who has won.

Basic blackjack rules :

- If the dealer gets 17 or higher, then the dealer must stick.

- If the dealer gets 16 or lower, then the dealer must draw another card.

- If you get a total of 21 with the first 2 cards, you win. This is called 'Blackjack'. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! If you have Blackjack, you are rewarded one and one-half times your bet unless the dealer also has Blackjack, in which case it is a Push or a Tie and you get your wager back.

Other wagering options are available online such as Insurance, Surrender, Double Down, Even Money and Split.

Insurance : You can have a side bet to cover if the dealer gets 21 (only if the face up card is an Ace). This bet goes up to half the original bet. If the dealer has a 10 face down and makes a blackjack, insurance pays at 2-1 odds, but loses if the dealer does not.

Surrender : In this option, you can give up your hand and lose only half the bet. Surrender is allowed before the dealer checks for blackjack. The dealer will first verify to see if he has blackjack. If he does, surrender is not allowed.

Double Down : You can Double Down your initial wager that is double your bet and receive one card face down following the original 2-card deal.

Even Money : The term Even Money is used when you can cash in your wager immediately at a 1:1 payout ratio when you are dealt a natural 21 and the dealer's face up card is an Ace.

Split Hand : Is an option used to split the original 2-card hand into 2 and play them separately. This is allowed only when the 2 first cards have the same value. The gamer can then use each card as the start to a separate hand and place a second wager equivalent to the first.

Hard Hand : A Hard hand is a hand in blackjack where there is no Ace or the hand has an Ace but with the value of 1.

Soft Hand : A hand that has an Ace counted as 11 is called a Soft Hand. Here the Ace can be valued as 1 or 11.

Nobody succeeds in this game without practice. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to take advantage of free play options before playing for real cash or just play the game above. Once you get experience and you feeling more confident, then play for real and win some good earned cash.
