Online Blackjack at Jackpot City

Blackjack is based on the 18th-century French game Ving-et-Un, which translates to Twenty-one.It was originally played exclusively by the nobility, but it has now spread all over the world, and many different variations of the game exist.
We offer several different variations at Jackpot City, including High Streak, Double Exposure, and Atlantic City Blackjack, but the best place to start your online Blackjack adventures is with the original version of the game.
Once you have mastered the fundamentals, you can start enjoying and understanding the subtle differences among all the different formats. Each of them is worthwhile and will give you insight into all of the others.
In every permutation of blackjack, the main objective is always to beat the dealer and try to get a hand total of 21 on the dot, or as close to this as possible without going any higher. You’ll be playing against the dealer, so the first thing that happens after you have placed your bet is that you and the dealer each get two cards.
The king and queen are worth 10 and whatever their face value is, respectively, while the aces are worth 1 or 11 depending on the value of the rest of the hand they are in. You can see both of your cards, of course, as well as one of the dealer’s. Up until this point, everything about the game was based on chance, but this is where strategy starts to come in.
You need to decide what you want to do next based only on the three face-up cards that you can see. You’ll notice a few differences in the rules of the various blackjack games, but in general, you can split your hand in half and get another card dealt to each half, Hit to add a card to your original hand, Double your wager and then stop betting, and Stand when you're satisfied with your total.You can stand whenever you want, but there are usually specific rules about what the dealer’s hand has to look like before they are allowed to.
When both sides are ready, the hands are totaled to determine the winner. Getting blackjack, or a total of exactly 21, is the most coveted hand in the game and will yield the biggest payout. You also win if your total is less than 21 and the dealer's hand total is more, or if you are both under 21 but your total is higher. This can sound simple enough, but as you play, you’ll see and enjoy the challenging complexities for yourself!
