What is Blackjack?
Online Blackjack is also sometimes called 21 and the object of the game is to get a value of cards equal to or as close to 21 as
possible while beating the total of the dealer’s cards. Blackjack must not be mistaken for the Australian game of Pontoon, which is a
vastly different game to the English variant. Individual games of Online Blackjack have different sets of rules governing them
(although the basic game play remains the same). Please check the individual game rules in the Online Casino Software before playing
an Online Blackjack game for the first time.
Online Blackjack Terminology
Online Blackjack (and offline Blackjack) has a few words that are used during the course of the game that are unique to it. We have listed these Blackjack terms below for your convenience:
Hit: Calling for a Hit means that you request another card from the dealer. You can only request a Hit once you have received your opening 2 cards in the hand and cannot request another if you go Bust (see below).
Stand: If you Stand you are telling the dealer that you do not want to receive any more cards (see Hit above).
Bust: If the value of the cards you receive totals more than 21 you have gone Bust and the dealer wins. The dealer will also go Bust if he/she receives a total over 21 and in that case the players win.
Bankroll: A Bankroll is the total amount of money you bring into the casino before placing a bet. Many players have individual Bankrolls for specific games. In this case your Bankroll would be for Blackjack only.
Betting limits: The Betting Limit at the Blackjack table is the maximum or the minimum amount you may bet at that table at a given time. At an Online Casino these Betting Limits seldom or never change for a specific table.
