BASIC STRATEGY BLACKJACK

H	HIT
S	STAND
SP	SPLIT
D	DOUBLE

The object of the game of blackjack is to beat the dealers without exceeding 21 or "busting your hand". You begin by recieving 2 cards and you must decide on what move to make stand, hit, double or split. The dealer recieves one card and based on your 2 cards plus the dealers cards use the table to dictate what move you should make.

Note the dealer must always draw to 17

Payouts are straightforward as this is an even money game meaning you win the equivalent of your bet, except for blackjacks which payout 3:2.

Why play online blackjack?

Many online casinos offer sign up bonus promotions but often these come with wagering requirements. Blackjack being an even money game with one of the lowest casino advantages, less than 3% means it is often the best game to play to take full advantage of the casino sign up bonus.
