The best part is that there are various formats to choose from. So, whatever your skill level, you’re sure to find a blackjack game to keep you entertained.
Let’s learn all about the different kinds of blackjack available at Mr Bet for our Indian players and some basic betting strategies. But first, we should go back to basics with the general blackjack rules.
Online blackjack: rules explained
Also known as online black jack or twenty-one, the rules are pretty straightforward and easy for anyone to catch on to. The object of the game is simple: beat the dealer by getting your hand total as close to 21 as possible without going over.
Using several standard 52-card decks, the card values are the key to the game.
- Each number card holds its reflected value
- Face cards are worth 10 points each
- Ace is worth either 1 or 11 (you choose, depending on your hand)
The dealer gives each player two cards, both facing up. The dealer has one facing down. You’ll then place bets based on what you think the value of the dealer’s hand is and if you think you can beat it.
The highest hand ranking hand in blackjack is an Ace and a 10-value card (10 or face card).
Varieties of blackjack at Mr Bet India
Variety is the spice of life. So why would you expect anything less when you play blackjack online? While the general rules remain the same, each variation of blackjack brings its own unique excitement to the table games casino.
Here are the most common types that you’ll find at Mr Bet India.
Blackjack switch
Unlike playing regular blackjack in our online casino, in switch, you’ll receive two hands instead of one. You also have the option to switch the top two cards between hands.
Pontoon blackjack
Using 2–8 card decks, you’ll receive two cards facing up. Though played like regular blackjack, in the pontoon variation, the dealer may peak at their cards.
Double Exposure blackjack
In this variation, the dealer received both cards facing up. While this style gives the player a better advantage, it has lower payouts in order to maintain the house edge.
Basic betting strategies for online blackjack with real money
Whether playing online blackjack for real money or free from versions, betting strategies are a useful tool. If you’re new to the casino games, they’re especially handy to help you learn the ropes.
As useful as they are, though, it’s essential to note that betting strategies aren’t a guarantee that you’ll win. They’re simply a tool to help you make smart betting choices.
Here are the three more common betting strategies used in online or live blackjack.
Splitting pairs
When you have two cards of the same denomination, you have the option to split them into two separate hands. This doubles your wager, splitting it between the two hands.
You’ll then first play the hand on your left by opting to stand or hit, then continue to the right.
When splitting Aces, you’ll receive only one card for each.
Double down
If the hand you’re dealt totals 9, 10, or 11, you have the option to double your bet. When this bet is placed, you’ll receive a card facing down, which cannot be opened until all betting is settled.
When your original dealt cards are two fives, you have the option to split, double, or play the hand regularly.
