The Thrill Of Online Blackjack

Blackjack has remained as one of the world’s most enduringly popular casino games. This classic card game requires skill, and a good dose of luck to clinch amazing wins.

Referred to as “the game of 21”, this exciting online casino game has been a staple at casinos the world over since its origins in France in the early 1700’s. Now, the game comes to life on your computer or mobile device, with our excellent collection of online Blackjack titles here at Vegas Palms Casino New Zealand. You’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to selecting different, exciting variations on this iconic game – so even if you are a seasoned Blackjack player, you are bound to find a new and intriguing experience.

Racing to 21

Blackjack is one of the few casino games that requires a good deal of skill – but if you are a beginner, don’t let that intimidate you. The rules of the game are simple enough to learn, and in no time you will get the hang of figuring out your odds in the game. If you’ve ever played Blackjack, you will know that the main objective of the game is to, ideally, get your hand’s value to equal 21 – the game’s magic number.

Failing that, you will need to have your hand’s value be higher than that of the dealer’s, without the total value of the hand exceeding 21. Before the cards have been dealt, you will be required to make a wager. Then you will be dealt two cards, facedown. The dealer also receives two cards, with only one being visible to you. This is where the excitement begins!

Know Your Options

After the cards have been dealt, you may then choose to:

• Stand: Keeping the cards you were dealt and playing on.
• Hit: Exchange your cards – you may keep changing cards until you are happy with your hand.
• Double Down: Here you can double your bet, receive one extra card, and then stand.
• Split: If you receive two cards of the same value, you may select this option. You will then double your bet, but receive two extra cards, meaning that you are now playing two different hands simultaneously.
• Surrender: This option is only available in some Blackjack games. Here, you may choose to surrender if you feel you have been dealt a hand that is impossible to play. You will only lose half your bet in this scenario.
