Frequently asked questions

• When Should You Play the Insurance Bet in Blackjack?

It is never advisable to play the optional side bet known as the Blackjack Insurance bet. This option – where available – allows the blackjack player to guard against a Dealer Blackjack. If the dealer’s upcard is an Ace, the player may be given the option of Blackjack Insurance. If the dealer has any 10-value card face-down, the dealer wins. However, with Blackjack Insurance, the player can win 2:1. However, the odds of this bet winning are extremely low and it’s not a good idea to play it.

• What’s Better: 6:5 Blackjack or 3:2 Blackjack?

If you play 6:5 Blackjack games you get paid $6 for every $5. This means that a $10 bet will get paid $12 in total. At a 3:2 Blackjack game, you get paid $3 for every $2 bet. That means a $10 bet pays $15 on Blackjack. Clearly, the 3:2 Blackjack option is the better option.

• What’s the Difference Between Splitting, Hitting, and Doubling in Blackjack?

Blackjack actions determine the types of plays you make. If you wish to receive another card, you simply ‘Hit’. You can continue ‘Hitting’ until you reach your desired hand total, or until you bust – whichever one comes first. ‘Splitting’ is available on pairs. You can ‘Split’ a pair of 7s for example or a pair of 8s. When you ‘Split’ you play 2 x separate hands in Blackjack. The rules for ‘Splitting’ will vary from one online casino to the next. ‘Doubling’ is a unique action in Blackjack games. When you ‘Double’, you double your bet and take one final card. Whatever the outcome of that card is your final hand tally. You cannot hit after ‘Doubling’.

• Why Does Everyone Want to Count Cards in Blackjack?

Card counting was popularized in our cultural zeitgeist through Hollywood Blockbusters like the movie 21. Card counting is an intricate process where experienced blackjack players maintain a running count of the cards. The goal of this is to anticipate the likelihood of winning in blackjack. Basic card counting assigns values of +1 to groups of cards and -1 to other groups of cards. If the running count is high positive it means there is a greater possibility of the player winning. A lower running count is favorable towards the Blackjack Dealer.

• Is It Better to Play Blackjack with 1 Deck of Cards or 6/8 Decks of Cards?

If possible, always opt for Blackjack games like ‘Classic Blackjack’ where a single deck of cards is used. It is much easier to keep a running count with a single deck of cards and the RTP is higher with just one deck in play. The more decks there are, the more difficult it is to implement various strategies. In fact, Single Deck Blackjack has a house edge of just 1.5%. To improve your edge, look for Blackjack games where the dealer stands on soft 17s and ‘Doubling Down’ is permitted on cards 9 – 11.
