The J, Q and K equate to a value of 10, while the Ace may act as a ‘soft’ 1 or a ‘hard’ 11, depending on which would be more advantageous to you while playing. The rest of the cards are valued by the number on the face of them. A hand that achieves 21 with 2 cards is considered a Blackjack hand.

After bets are placed, you are dealt 2 cards which may be face up or face down, while the dealer obtains 2 cards, one face up and one face down. At this stage, you will be asked if you’d like to ‘hit’, which means being dealt another card, or ‘stand’, which means you choose to be content with the cards in hand. Should the total of the hand exceed 21, the hand is considered ‘bust’ and you are no longer a participant in that round. Once each player has made their choice, the dealer will then reveal his second card which will determine the outcome of the game. Some of our game versions allow you to play multiple hands

While seated at one of our blackjack online UK tables, you’ll notice a number of options available during gameplay. For example, ‘Splitting’ is applicable to a hand of 2 identical cards which may be ‘split’ and played as 2 separate hands. ‘Insurance’ may be taken if the dealer’s first card is an Ace whereby you will only lose half the bet if the dealer reveals a Blackjack hand. ’Doubling down’ involves doubling your bet based on your first 2 cards. ‘Surrendering’ occurs when opting to bow out of the game before obtaining more cards, allowing you to walk away with half your bet.

As an online casino UK player, you may ask if card counting is permitted. Card counting is a strategy whereby players attempt to predict whether the next card to be dealt will be advantageous to the player or the dealer by ‘counting’ the cards and trying to figure out the composition of the cards in the shoe. The legality of this strategy is not in question as card counting is not possible when it comes to blackjack. This is due to the fact that the cards are shuffled after each hand. The shoe may contain up to 8 decks of cards and, combined with the shuffling, will render card counting a fruitless effort.

All of our blackjack games have handy rules to guide you on how the game works. With frequent play, you will find that reference to the rules soon become unnecessary the more you practice.
