Playing Blackjack Online
The best game of blackjack to play online has to be Vegas Downtown Blackjack, It is played with just two standard decks of 52 playing cards and these cards are fully shuffled after the completion of every game.
Vegas Downtown Blackjack is known as an American hole card game, which means the Dealer will check for a Blackjack when he is dealt either a 10 or an Ace. If the Dealer discovers he has a Blackjack, the game ends and is over.
The beauty of this variant of blackjack is that it has an expected payout percentage of 99.38%, so make sure you use optimum strategy to be in with a chance of hitting a good run.
The rules are straight forward:
Blackjack will always beat any other hand with a value of 21.
All of the face cards which are; Jacks, Kings and Queens, have a value of 10.
Aces can have a value of 1 or 11.
It is possible but rare to get up to nine additional cards to make a hand of eleven cards, as long as the value of your hand does not exceed 21.
If your hand does not exceeded 21 after receiving eleven cards, your hand automatically Stands, and the Dealer will then play his hand.
The Dealer always has to Hit on a soft 17.

Blackjack Betting Options
Hit - Select the Hit option to make the Dealer give you another card from the deck.
Stand - If you do not wish to receive anymore cards, then choose the Stand button. The dealer will then play his hand and the winner is decided.
