A Glance at Blackjack Online
The premium Blackjack online games available at JackpotCity retain all the classic elements of the card game. Most are single-player editions that pit you against dealers whose moves are determined by the game software.
Your ultimate goal is to gain 21 points in order to beat the dealer. Do not be disheartened if you do not quite reach the magic number, because you can still win with fewer points, provided your score is higher than the dealer’s. That said, one of the best things about playing 21 at our New Zealand casino online on your mobile device is that, just like other versions of the game – it lets you make strategic moves that can help you come out on top.
Classic Game Variations
We hinted earlier that the game that inspired mobile Blackjack was created in Europe, but what we did not mention was that it continued to evolve as it spread around the world. This means there are all sorts of variations available, and you can find the most popular of them at JackpotCity.
The European variant undoubtedly is the favourite of most Kiwi players. Its rules work in your favour, and it puts you on an almost-even footing with the house. The biggest differences between that version of Blackjack online and games based on the American variant are the dealer’s cards. In the European variant, the dealer gets 1 face-up card to start, while you get 2. The dealer’s second card is dealt after your move. In games based on American rules, the dealer is dealt 2 cards, 1 of which is face down. However, the dealer can peek before your move. This gives the variant a higher house edge and ensures the action is fraught with suspense. Find out what we mean when you play at our casino mobile and see if you’ve got what it takes to come out on top.
Understanding the Moves
Learning the different mobile Blackjack moves means you’ll be able to lay a foundation that lets you unfold your strategy into your gaming style at JackpotCity. The moves include Hitting, Doubling, Splitting and Standing.
Hit if you want to improve your score by adding another card to your hand. Double means doubling your initial bet and taking another card, if you think that a higher score will beat the dealer. Split your hand if you were dealt 2 similar cards, and then create new hands by adding fresh cards to both. Stand if you think that your score does not need to be improved.
Playing To Win
When you know the basics of mobile Blackjack, you can enjoy any of the variations available at JackpotCity with confidence. From single to multi-deck games, to those with progressive jackpots, they are all here.
The most important thing to keep in mind though, is that you must not exceed the 21-point maximum and go Bust, and that your hand must beat the dealer’s. When the deal is over, make the move you think will the best one for your hand. Once you have done that, the dealer will either receive a second card, or reveal their hidden card and make any moves necessary. You hand will then be compared to the dealer’s in order to determine who the winner is.
