Note: Where changes in the house edge due to changes in the rules are stated in percentage terms, the difference is usually stated here in percentage points , not a percentage. Blackjack rules are generally set by regulations that establish permissible rule variations at the casino's discretion.

Most of the house's edge comes from the fact that the player loses when both the player and dealer bust. The house edge for games where blackjack pays 6 to 5 instead of 3 to 2 increases by about 1.

Player deviations from basic strategy also increase the house edge. Each game has a rule about whether the dealer must hit or stand on soft 17, which is generally printed on the table surface.

The variation where the dealer must hit soft 17 is abbreviated "H17" in blackjack literature, with "S17" used for the stand-on-soft variation. Substituting an "H17" rule with an "S17" rule in a game benefits the player, decreasing the house edge by about 0. All things being equal, using fewer decks decreases the house edge.

This mainly reflects an increased likelihood of player blackjack, since if the player draws a ten on their first card, the subsequent probability of drawing an ace is higher with fewer decks.

It also reflects the decreased likelihood of a blackjack—blackjack push in a game with fewer decks. Casinos generally compensate by tightening other rules in games with fewer decks, to preserve the house edge or discourage play altogether. When offering single-deck blackjack games, casinos are more likely to disallow doubling on soft hands or after splitting, restrict resplitting, require higher minimum bets, and pay the player less than for a winning blackjack.

The following table illustrates the mathematical effect on the house edge of the number of decks, by considering games with various deck counts under the following ruleset: double after split allowed, resplit to four hands allowed, no hitting split aces, no surrendering, double on any two cards, original bets only lost on dealer blackjack, dealer hits soft 17, and cut-card used.

The increase in house edge per unit increase in the number of decks is most dramatic when comparing the single-deck game to the two-deck game, and becomes progressively smaller as more decks are added.

Surrender, for those games that allow it, is usually not permitted against a dealer blackjack; if the dealer's first card is an ace or ten, the hole card is checked to make sure there is no blackjack before surrender is offered. This rule protocol is consequently known as "late" surrender.

The alternative, "early" surrender, gives the player the option to surrender before the dealer checks for blackjack, or in a no hole card game.

Early surrender is much more favorable to the player than late surrender. For late surrender, however, while it is tempting to opt for surrender on any hand which will probably lose, the correct strategy is to only surrender on the very worst hands, because having even a one-in-four chance of winning the full bet is better than losing half the bet and pushing the other half, as entailed by surrendering.

If the cards of a post-split hand have the same value, most games allow the player to split again, or "resplit". The player places a further wager, and the dealer separates the new pair dealing a further card to each as before.

Some games allow unlimited resplitting, while others may limit it to a certain number of hands, such as four hands for example, "resplit to 4". After splitting aces, the common rule is that only one card will be dealt to each ace; the player cannot split, double, or take another hit on either hand.

Rule variants include allowing resplitting aces or allowing the player to hit split aces. Games allowing aces to be resplit are not uncommon, but those allowing the player to hit split aces are extremely rare.

Allowing the player to hit hands resulting from split aces reduces the house edge by about 0. Note that a ten-value card dealt on a split ace or vice versa will not be counted as a blackjack but as a soft After a split, most games allow doubling down on the new two-card hands.

Disallowing doubling after a split increases the house edge by about 0. Under the " Reno rule", doubling down is only permitted on hard totals of 9, 10, or 11 under a similar European rule, only 10 or The basic strategy would otherwise call for some doubling down with hard 9 and soft 13—18, and advanced players can identify situations where doubling on soft 19—20 and hard 8, 7, and even 6 is advantageous.

The Reno rule prevents the player from taking advantage of double-down in these situations and thereby increases the player's expected loss.

The Reno rule increases the house edge by around 0. In most non-U. casinos, a "no hole card" game is played, meaning that the dealer does not draw nor consult their second card until after all players have finished making decisions.

With no hole card, it is rarely the correct basic strategy to double or split against a dealer ten or ace, since a dealer blackjack will result in the loss of the split and double bets; the only exception is with a pair of aces against a dealer 10, where it is still correct to split.

In all other cases, a stand, hit, or surrender is called for. For instance, when holding 11 against a dealer 10, the correct strategy is to double in a hole card game where the player knows the dealer's second card is not an ace , but to hit in a no-hole card game.

The no-hole-card rule adds approximately 0. The "original bets only" rule variation appearing in certain no hole card games states that if the player's hand loses to a dealer blackjack, only the mandatory initial bet "original" is forfeited, and all optional bets, meaning doubles and splits, are pushed.

In many casinos, a blackjack pays only or even instead of the usual This is most common at tables with lower table minimums. Although this payoff was originally limited to single-deck games, it has spread to double-deck and shoe games.

Among common rule variations in the U. Since blackjack occurs in approximately 4. Video blackjack machines generally pay a payout for a blackjack. The rule that bets on tied hands are lost rather than pushed is catastrophic to the player.

Though rarely used in standard blackjack, it is sometimes seen in "blackjack-like" games, such as in some charity casinos. Each blackjack game has a basic strategy, the optimal method of playing any hand. When using basic strategy, the long-term house advantage the expected loss of the player is minimized.

An example of a basic strategy is shown in the table below, which applies to a game with the following specifications: [15]. Most basic strategy decisions are the same for all blackjack games. Rule variations call for changes in only a few situations.

For example, to use the table above on a game with the stand-on-soft rule which favors the player, and is typically found only at higher-limit tables today only 6 cells would need to be changed: hit on 11 vs.

A, hit on 15 vs. A, stand on 17 vs. A, stand on A,7 vs. Regardless of the specific rule variations, taking insurance or "even money" is never the correct play under a basic strategy. Estimates of the house edge for blackjack games quoted by casinos and gaming regulators are based on the assumption that the players follow basic strategy.

Most blackjack games have a house edge of between 0. Casino promotions such as complimentary matchplay vouchers or blackjack payouts allow players to acquire an advantage without deviating from basic strategy.

The basic strategy is based on a player's point total and the dealer's visible card. Players can sometimes improve on this decision by considering the composition of their hand, not just the point total.

For example, players should ordinarily stand when holding 12 against a dealer 4. But in a single deck game, players should hit if their 12 consists of a 10 and a 2. The presence of a 10 in the player's hand has two consequences: [17].

Even when basic and composition-dependent strategies lead to different actions, the difference in expected reward is small, and it becomes smaller with more decks. Using a composition-dependent strategy rather than a basic strategy in a single-deck game reduces the house edge by 4 in 10,, which falls to 3 in , for a six-deck game.

Blackjack has been a high-profile target for advantage players since the s. Advantage play attempts to win more using skills such as memory, computation, and observation. While these techniques are legal, they can give players a mathematical edge in the game, making advantage players unwanted customers for casinos.

Advantage play can lead to ejection or blacklisting. Some advantageous play techniques in blackjack include:. During the course of a blackjack shoe, the dealer exposes the dealt cards.

Players can infer from their accounting of the exposed cards which cards remain. These inferences can be used in the following ways:.

A card counting system assigns a point score to each card rank e. When a card is exposed, a counter adds the score of that card to a running total, the 'count'. A card counter uses this count to make betting and playing decisions. The count starts at 0 for a freshly shuffled deck for "balanced" counting systems.

Unbalanced counts are often started at a value that depends on the number of decks used in the game. Blackjack's house edge is usually around 0. Card counting works best when a few cards remain. This makes single-deck games better for counters. As a result, casinos are more likely to insist that players do not reveal their cards to one another in single-deck games.

In games with more decks, casinos limit penetration by ending the shoe and reshuffling when one or more decks remain undealt. Casinos also sometimes use a shuffling machine to reintroduce the cards whenever a deck has been played.

Sometimes a casino might ban a card counter from the property. The use of external devices to help count cards is illegal throughout the United States. Another advantage play technique, mainly applicable in multi-deck games, involves tracking groups of cards also known as slugs, clumps, or packs through the shuffle and then playing and betting according to when those cards come into play from a new shoe.

Shuffle tracking requires excellent eyesight and powers of visual estimation but is harder to detect; shuffle trackers' actions are largely unrelated to the composition of the cards in the shoe. Arnold Snyder's articles in Blackjack Forum magazine brought shuffle tracking to the general public.

His book, The Shuffle Tracker's Cookbook , mathematically analyzed the player edge available from shuffle tracking based on the actual size of the tracked slug. Jerry L. Patterson also developed and published a shuffle-tracking method for tracking favorable clumps of cards and cutting them into play and tracking unfavorable clumps of cards and cutting them out of play.

The player can also gain an advantage by identifying cards from distinctive wear markings on their backs, or by hole carding observing during the dealing process the front of a card dealt face-down.

These methods are generally legal although their status in particular jurisdictions may vary. Many blackjack tables offer side bets on various outcomes including: [28]. The side wager is typically placed in a designated area next to the box for the main wager.

A player wishing to wager on a side bet usually must place a wager on blackjack. Some games require that the blackjack wager should equal or exceed any side bet wager.

A non-controlling player of a blackjack hand is usually permitted to place a side bet regardless of whether the controlling player does so. The house edge for side bets is generally higher than for the blackjack game itself. Nonetheless, side bets can be susceptible to card counting.

A side count designed specifically for a particular side bet can improve the player's edge. Only a few side bets, like "Insurance" and "Lucky Ladies", correlate well with the high-low counting system and offer a sufficient win rate to justify the effort of advantage play.

In team play, it is common for team members to be dedicated to only counting a side bet using a specialized count. Some casinos, as well as general betting outlets, provide blackjack among a selection of casino-style games at electronic consoles. Video blackjack game rules are generally more favorable to the house; e.

Video and online blackjack games generally deal each round from a fresh shoe i. Blackjack is a member of the family of traditional card games played recreationally worldwide. Most of these games have not been adapted for casino play.

Furthermore, the casino game development industry actively produces blackjack variants, most of which are ultimately not adopted by casinos. The following are the most prominent and established variants in casinos. Examples of local traditional and recreational related games include French vingt-et-un 'twenty-one' and German Siebzehn und Vier 'seventeen and four'.

Neither game allows splitting. An ace counts only eleven, but two aces count as a blackjack. It is mostly played in private circles and barracks. The popular British member of the vingt-un family is called "pontoon", the name being probably a corruption of vingt-et-un.

In , professional gamblers worldwide were invited to nominate great blackjack players for admission into the Blackjack Hall of Fame. Seven members were inducted in , with new people inducted every year after.

The Hall of Fame is at the Barona Casino in San Diego. Members include Edward O. Thorp , author of the s book Beat the Dealer ; Ken Uston , who popularized the concept of team play; Arnold Snyder , author and editor of the Blackjack Forum trade journal; and Stanford Wong , author and popularizer of "Wonging".

Simply put, the formula can be expressed as the given odds multiplied by the probability of winning, subtracting the probability of a loss and that total divided by the odds. The essence of the Kelly Criterion betting is to wager a portion of your bankroll based on your edge in a given wager.

However, in casino games, this becomes impractical due to the inherent house edge present in these games. Unlike skill-based betting, where the player can have an edge, games are designed to give the house an advantage.

This approach is especially well-suited to making sports bets. If you manage to properly provide values needed for applying the Kelly Criterion formula, you should always get an optimal percentage of your bankroll needed for the bet to be profitable.

Here are some examples of how you can use it in different sports. When betting on football, the odds and probabilities can vary significantly depending on the matchup, league, and other factors such as team form, injuries, and historical performance.

This result suggests that you should bet approximately Basketball betting, with its dynamic odds and frequent scoring, presents unique opportunities for applying the Kelly Criterion.

Suppose you find a game where the odds are 2. Let's say you're betting on a tennis match. If we use these numbers for the Kelly formula, we get:. These variations help in smoothing the volatility in your bankroll while still adhering to the principles of the Kelly Criterion.

Here are a couple of reasons why bettors choose to employ this strategy. For those looking to get serious about this strategy, Kelly Criterion calculators are a valuable tool. They simplify the process of determining the optimal bet size, eliminating the need for complex manual calculations.

To use a Kelly Criterion betting calculator, you typically need to input the odds of the bet, your estimated probability of winning, and sometimes the total bankroll you are willing to bet. The calculator then uses the Kelly formula to determine the optimal bet size as a percentage of your bankroll.

A key feature in many of these calculators is the Kelly multiplier. This is an adjustable factor that allows you to bet a fraction of the amount suggested by the pure Kelly Criterion, often used as a way to reduce risk.

As mentioned above, this multiplier can be half, a third, or a quarter. For the full Kelly Criterion number, use a multiplier of 1. The method is primarily aimed at enhancing the long-term growth of your betting bankroll, simultaneously working to reduce the risk of depleting all your betting funds.

By using this criterion, bettors make informed decisions and align their betting strategies with the goal of long-term profitability while avoiding the pursuit of immediate, high-risk gains.

Understanding the percentages in Kelly Criterion betting is crucial for effective application. The formula's result, expressed as a percentage, indicates the recommended portion of your bankroll to wager. A positive value implies favorable odds and suggests that a bet is advisable. The higher the percentage, the stronger your edge is perceived, indicating a larger bet.

Conversely, a negative or zero value signifies unfavorable odds, advising against placing the bet. The Kelly Criterion betting approach stands as a beacon for bettors seeking a balanced method of managing their bankroll.

This formula is not just about maximizing returns; it's equally focused on minimizing risk, ensuring you don't put your entire bankroll at stake. Its application in betting scenarios, especially in sports betting, is relatively straightforward, making it accessible even for those who are new to this concept.

So, if you're looking to optimize your betting strategy while keeping risks in check, consider implementing the Kelly Criterion to your next wager. It's a step toward more disciplined, calculated, and potentially profitable betting experiences. São Paulo. Cape Town. Popular Types of Blackjack Content Team 1 year ago.

But before you dive in, it's essential to understand how these matches work and what strategies can help you succeed. This article will cover the blackjack tournament strategy to become a true winner.

How to Play Blackjack Tournaments? For Blackjack tournaments, players pay an entry fee to participate and aim to collect the most chips within a set amount of time or to outlast all opponents via a series of knockouts. They have become increasingly popular in both land-based and online casinos.

Although blackjack matches are ultra-competitive, they offer minimal risk because the player only risks losing the entry fee.

Some contests may submit a free entry, but larger prize pools come from paying the entry fee. During the round, players compete against each other rather than the casino.

All participants start with the same amount of chips and play the same number of hands, with the player who has the most chips at the end of the round advancing to play against other table winners.

To succeed in a tournament, having more chips than the opponents at the end of each round is crucial. This requires not only knowing how to play blackjack but also how much to bet and how to react to opponents' chip counts. Progressing in a match with relatively few chips is possible if they are more than the opponents'.

Therefore, participants must watch opponents' bankrolls to know if they are ahead or behind in the chip count as the round progresses. Tournament Blackjack VS. Casino Blackjack One significant difference between a contest and regular online blackjack is the amount of money at risk.

Depending on their luck and strategy, a player can lose considerable money in a single night in traditional blackjack. On the other hand, in competitive blackjack, players only risk their entry fee and play with chips. In the contests, participants aim to collect more chips, but players tend to earn money in standard blackjack.

Participants in contests can earn up to a six-figure prize. On the other hand, regular players can rarely win that enormous amount of money. Players should know how to outplay opponents, while in the regular game, it's essential to have specific techniques, such as shuffle tracking and card counting.

The player's losses are limited to the competition entry fee in competition. However, You can always buy more chips if you lose your entire bankroll in standard blackjack. Types of Blackjack Tournaments There are different types of blackjack games, but there are also other types of contests.

Each competition format has its regulations and objectives. Therefore, players must study the specific blackjack tournament rules before entering a game.

Understanding the differences in formats can help players choose which games to join. We'll go through each type and explain how it works.

Traditional Elimination Tournaments are the most popular format, where players compete only against those at their table. The table winners advance to the next round, and the others are eliminated.

Players can pay a re-buy fee in most elimination matches and play again if eliminated. Tournaments with Elimination format was made famous by the televised Ultimate Blackjack Tournaments. After a certain number of hands, the player with the lowest chip count is eliminated. Non-Elimination or Accumulation Tournaments allow players to compete against each other to win the most chips after several rounds in this format.

The leaders are often posted on a leaderboard, so players know how much they need to win to overtake the leaders. They are usually held weekly in land-based casinos and often daily in online casinos.

Major Tournaments have higher entry fees, take more than one day to complete, and have a sizable prize pool, often six figures. Casinos that offer major contests usually hold them over a weekend, offer the contestants free or discounted rooms, and typically include a banquet and gift.

Live-Money Tournaments require players to purchase the chips, which can be exchanged for cash at the end of the tournament. So in live-money tournaments, players risk their own money. Sit 'N' Go Tournaments are continuously running matches that begin once six players have been assembled.

In addition, sit 'n' Go contests have become popular on internet sites that offer blackjack contests. Required Skills for Blackjack Tournaments Players must possess skills beyond basic knowledge to succeed in a match. Developing a solid set of skills takes practice and dedication.

However, the primary set of skills to be a victorious opponent in the competition include: Deep understanding of the game's regulations, cards, and odds associated with different hands.

Strong observation skills to keep track of the opponent's chip counts and make betting decisions based on the insight. Quick thinking is crucial during the gameplay, as you must calculate the potential outcomes of your opponents' bets.

Calculate a player's game balance depending on their bet's outcome and determine their possible outcomes. Knowing the basic blackjack strategy and when and how to deviate from it is also essential.

Blackjack Tournament Strategy Implementing the right strategy for the blackjack tournament is critical to becoming a successful player. In competition, you must consider many factors when betting and deciding whether and when to double down, hit, stand, or split.

So, we'll go through the necessary steps to implement a winning blackjack strategy. How to Win Blackjack Tournament To win a blackjack match, it is crucial to have a good strategy in place.

At the end of the tournament, placing a large wager, often recommended as half of your chip stack can give you an advantage. If you receive a pair, you can split it, and if you have enough chips left, you can double down on a two-card total that justifies it. When you reach the final table, your first rule should be not to bust out early.

Instead, you should wait and see how other players bet before making big wagers. In the final hand, most of your opponents will go all-in, so you should do the same but keep one chip to advance in case the dealer wins. Keep your chances close to what your competitors are making, but be prepared to raise them slightly if necessary.

Hands are critical hands in the final table, as they can make or break your chances of winning. If you are leading, keep the pressure on with the same bets you have been making. If you are close to the pack, bet up to one-third of your stack.

If you need to catch up, bet half your stack. Hand 19 is a significant hand, as it can be the difference between winning or losing the tournament. If you are not leading, try to bet up to half your stack. The higher payoff for first justifies busting out here and taking a lower profit.

Hand 20 is the tournament's final hand, and you want to be the chip leader after this. Set your bet accordingly. That should be considered if most participants are close, and you can guarantee a second-place finish with a sure bet.

Otherwise, bet the maximum. You should also consider that all players may lose the last hand while playing. If this happens, will you have enough chips to take first? When six or seven participants are still competing for first or second, and each is making the maximum wager, you may have a better chance of making a little bet, keeping more in reserve, and hoping the dealer has a killer hand.

Do this if there is no way for you to get first, second, or third unless the dealer beats everyone. Betting Strategy for Blackjack Tournament One of the critical things to keep in mind is to avoid betting more than your bankroll. While it may be tempting to bet big to increase your bankroll quickly, it is a risky strategy that can result in losing everything in your first hand.

Instead, bet conservatively and adjust your bets accordingly as the progresses. When you are not leading, it is advisable to bet slightly less than the chip leader. This will allow you to stay in the game without risking too much of your bankroll.

If you are leading, however, you should consider betting slightly more to maintain your lead and stay ahead of the competition. It is essential to pay attention to the other players' betting patterns and adjust your bets accordingly.

For example, if most players are betting aggressively, it may be wise to bet conservatively to avoid losing your chips. Similarly, if most participants are betting conservatively, you should take a more aggressive approach and bet more to gain an advantage.

When in doubt, saving one chip and waiting for the next hand is always a good idea. This will allow you to stay in the game and open your options.

Knowing when to split while playing blackjack is essential. Splitting pairs and doubling down is also crucial in matches. Generally, you should split pairs when you have a couple of eights or aces and double down when you have However, you should also consider the other players' cards and adjust your strategy accordingly.

By following these tips and knowing when to split pairs and double down, you can increase your chances of winning the match. Blackjack Tournament Tips Participating in a blackjack contest can be an exciting experience.

Here are some tips to improve your chances of success: Read and understand the regulations, including the number of rounds and hands per round, updates on the leaderboard, and gameplay practices such as betting limits and surrender options. Pay attention to your opponent's cards, actions, and the leaderboard while playing, and adjust your betting and decision-making accordingly.

Consider your position in the betting rotation and adjust your blackjack tournament betting strategy. Be aware of the time and chip count, and adjust your bets. If you're lucky to be near the top of the leaderboard, manage risk to maintain your lead, and don't be reckless.

Most importantly, have fun. Remember, the game's goal is to be entertained; if you don't win, there is always another chance.

Conclusion Participating in a tournament requires a different strategy than regular online blackjack. Participants must understand the game's rules and odds and develop observation and quick-thinking skills to succeed.

Implementing the right betting strategy and knowing when to split pairs and double down is also crucial in increasing the chances of winning the game. Remember, while the goal is to win, the main objective is to have fun and enjoy the thrilling experience of a blackjack tournament.

They provided reliable developers such as Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Blueprint Gaming, Big Time Gaming, etc. So before taking a decision is almost mandatory to check all the casino credentials, and no one can make it but you since it was your choice to play there.

The essential thing to keep in mind is that you should only go for a safe and secure website. Increase Your Stake Immediately After a Free Spin Bonus Many experienced gamblers could have noticed that a significant number of Megaways slots when spinning immediately after a free spin bonus, may roll the scatter symbols one more time and give them back-to-back bonus rounds.

However, that might seldom occur; if Megaways gamblers answered if that happened to them, then probably many of them would answer yes, or they probably know someone who has seen that happen. What gamblers could decide could affect their game, but it is recommended to up the stake for only a spin after the bonus round has finished.

However, it could take several free spin bonus rounds; sooner players get back-to-back features, with certainty the second bonus being at a major stake.

Choose Your Bet Size and Get Spinning! Concluding, it is time to commence spinning those wonderful Megaways games. The first action to perform is to choose your bet size and to get it on your budget.

Extra Chilli Genie Jackpots As expected, the non-stop success of those Megaways Slots has resulted in many releases, which means that players can have a good time in several games supported by Megaways engines.

On the other hand, you must know more about the games, and it is always a good idea to try free demo versions to get a better background about what you are dealing with. How Does the Megaways Mechanic Work? Once you enter the Megaways slots world and start playing, you may get some doubts about how your winnings will be defined, but actually, it is easier than you think.

Overall, the first thing to keep in mind for everyone interested in entering this world is that when Big Time Gaming has released the Megaways mechanic, its main target was to wipe out fixed pay lines. It means that in a classic video slot, you would only win when you would have a winning pair conform of three or more symbols that are together in the same straight line—usually beginning from the leftmost reel.

With Megaways Slots, though, a winning combination could be made up of neighboring symbols commencing from the leftmost reel but not directly along with the other symbols. At the highest capacity, which is exactly seven symbols on every one of the six reels, you would get , Megaways.

Nevertheless, in general, you will not get seven symbols on every one of the six reels. Therefore, knowing the number of Megaways modifies after every spin, the game must multiply the number of symbols.

Overall, to get the exact number of Megaways, we multiplied all the obtained symbols 7 × 3 × 6 × 6 × 4 × 5 and finished with a total of 15, Megaways, which is the number on display at the top of the game. Keep in mind that if you are wondering when a Megaways slot has an extra horizontal reel, all you must do is add every symbol in the horizontal reel to the number of symbols in the correct vertical reel.

Megaways Features The best Megaways slots do not only have more paylines, but also some astonishing features that will blow your mind. Some of them are: Cascading Reels The large majority of Megaways slots have the Cascading Reels feature. This feature sees every symbol in a winning mixing that is replaced by more symbols mechanically, and the player will not need to spin again.

Indeed, what this, in other words, means is that you can have more than one victory for the same amount. Free Spins In addition, free spins are another relevant and popular universal, astonishing characteristic.

That is essentially what is mentioned on the tin, and they are commonly activated by getting three or more Scatter symbols wherever on the grid. In many games, the Scatter symbol will be something that is related to the game.

Mystery Symbols While Megaways video slots are still on their run to progress, new characteristics get to the games frequently. However, these modifications try to reveal other symbols from the paytable. Their target is to provide you with a much better and bigger win. As a matter of fact, frequently, all Mystery Symbols that get to the grid at the same time turn into the same symbol to provide you with better winning potential.

Bonus Games A great amount of Megaways slots have extra bonus games. Those often work linked to the free spins. Buy a Bonus The biggest wins on Megaways slots can only occur during the free spins option. However, waiting for these to be activated can take some time.

That is frequently done by using a Bonus Buy button, with the free spins having a cost of x your stake. Related to RTP, Megaways slot games are famous for having a bigger percentage than the industry usually has; it could seem that there are higher chances to get more earnings for playing Megaways slot.

But unfortunately, it seems like classics are still the gold standard. Megaways Slots Demos Among the many reasons, people have to enjoy Megaways slots games for free. We could find some relevant ones, such as video slots can be totally fun even if you do not win any actual money; at least you are not losing anything.

A second thing that deserves mention is that they are an excellent way to learn the ropes and realize if you want to place your own cash on the game.

More Ways to Win Than Ever Before These slots truly live up to the name by offering countless ways to win. Some of them feature up to , ways or more.

Como se describió anteriormente, si el crupier tiene un blackjack, los jugadores con un blackjack logran un Empate, mientras que todos los demás pierden.

Arriba están descritas las reglas básicas del blackjack. Además, hay numerosas reglas adicionales que permiten realizar estrategias más complejas a la hora de apostar.

Estas normas secundarias solo se pueden utilizar inmediatamente después del reparto y antes de Pedir más cartas. No puedes, por ejemplo, tomar una tercera carta y luego decidir Duplicar.

Cuando la carta descubierta del crupier es un as, cada jugador tiene la oportunidad de apostar si el crupier tiene un blackjack o no. Esto se hace antes de cualquier otra apuesta del jugador. La apuesta del Seguro iguala tu apuesta original y se utiliza para anular la posible pérdida de ésta.

Una apuesta ganadora del Seguro se pagará a , y se pierde la apuesta original. Si el crupier no tiene un blackjack, recogerá la apuesta del Seguro y la original.

Así, en cualquier caso, el jugador siempre acabará perdiendo. Por ello, las guías de estrategias suelen aconsejar no pedir Seguros. Si se tiene una mano mala en comparación a la del crupier a juzgar por lo que se puede ver de la misma , puede renunciarse a la mano y reclamar la mitad de la apuesta.

El casino se queda la otra mitad sin opción a réplica. Se necesita una mano realmente mala para que la renuncia sea rentable, como por ejemplo 16 puntos contra una del crupier que muestra En algunos casinos no está permitido rendirse si el crupier tiene un blackjack lo que se comprueba inmediatamente después del reparto.

Si el crupier tiene un blackjack, no se concederán renuncias y se perderá toda la apuesta — a menos que también se tenga un blackjack, en cuyo caso se trata de un Empate. Si al jugador le llegan dos cartas iniciales del mismo valor se tiene la opción de Dividir la mano en dos.

Se coloca otra apuesta del mismo tamaño que la apuesta original y se juega con dos manos. Hay que tener en cuenta que es legal Dividir cartas de 10 puntos, incluso si no son iguales — por ejemplo, se puede Dividir una Jota y un Rey.

Cuando se ha decidido Dividir una mano, el crupier reparte inmediatamente una segunda carta para cada mano. Ahora bien, si se obtiene de nuevo dos cartas iguales algunos casinos permiten Dividir la mano de nuevo, mientras que otros no lo hacen.

Cuando se haya terminado de Dividir, cada una de las manos se tratará por separado, lo que significa que se pedirán cartas para la primera mano hasta Plantarte o Pasarte, y después se continúa con la siguiente mano.

Si se Dividen ases se recibe como de costumbre una segunda carta para cada mano, pero no se permite tomar ninguna carta adicional a menos que se reciba otro as y se Divida de nuevo. Todas las manos resultantes de la división de ases permanecen como manos de dos cartas. Si la segunda carta repartida a un as Dividido es una carta de 10 puntos, no se recibe la bonificación de blackjack para esta mano.

Sin embargo, sí se gana contra un 21 hecho con más de dos cartas. Si el crupier tiene también un blackjack, el resultado de esta mano, como de costumbre, es un Empate. En muchos lugares se juega con la misma regla no hay bonificación por un blackjack y se aplica si un as se reparte como segunda carta para una de 10 puntos después de dividir.

Si el jugador está bastante seguro de que su mano va a ganar al crupier, puede Doblar su apuesta original. A veces se permite hacerlo con cualquier cantidad hasta el importe de la apuesta original. En la mayoría de los casinos se puede Doblar en cualquier mano, pero algunos casinos requieren una mano inicial con valor de 11, 10 o 9 puntos.

Con las reglas adicionales arriba explicadas en funcionamiento, la secuencia de sucesos en cada ronda después de repartir es la siguiente:. Cuando se hace uso de ella, el jugador que consiga con una mano de cinco cartas dos cartas más tres Pedidas no Pasarse es recompensado con dinero, independientemente de la mano del crupier.

Blackjack 21 Introducción Equipamiento Blackjack casero Apostar y ganar Objetivo del juego Los turnos de los jugadores El turno del crupier Momento decisivo Reglas adicionales Introducción El Blackjack es un juego de cartas americano de casino muy popular que hoy en día se puede encontrar en cualquier parte del mundo.

Equipamiento El Blackjack se juega con una baraja internacional de 52 cartas sin comodines. Apostar y ganar Cada jugador en la mesa de blackjack tiene un círculo o caja donde colocar sus apuestas. Cada mano resultará para el jugador en uno de los siguientes supuestos: Perder — la apuesta del jugador se la queda el crupier.

Ganar — el jugador gana lo mismo que ha apostado. One such bonus was a ten-to-one payout if the player's hand consisted of the ace of spades and a black jack either the jack of clubs or the jack of spades.

This hand was called a "blackjack", and the name stuck even after the ten-to-one bonus was withdrawn. French card historian Thierry Depaulis debunks this story, showing that prospectors during the Klondike Gold Rush —99 gave the name blackjack to the game of American vingt-un , the bonus being the usual ace and any point card.

Since blackjack also refers to the mineral zincblende , which was often associated with gold or silver deposits, he suggests that the mineral name was transferred by prospectors to the top bonus hand.

He could not find any historical evidence for a special bonus for having the combination of an ace and a black jack. In September , Roger Baldwin, Wilbert Cantey, Herbert Maisel, and James McDermott published a paper titled "The Optimum Strategy in Blackjack" in the Journal of the American Statistical Association , [9] the first mathematically sound optimal blackjack strategy.

This paper became the foundation of future efforts to beat blackjack. Ed Thorp used Baldwin's hand calculations to verify the basic strategy and later published in Beat the Dealer. At a blackjack table, the dealer faces five to nine playing positions from behind a semicircular table.

Between one and eight standard card decks are shuffled together. To start each round, players place bets in the "betting box" at each position. In jurisdictions allowing back betting, up to three players can be at each position.

The player whose bet is at the front of the betting box controls the position, and the dealer consults the controlling player for playing decisions; the other bettors "play behind". A player can usually control or bet in as many boxes as desired at a single table, but an individual cannot play on more than one table at a time or place multiple bets within a single box.

In many U. casinos, players are limited to playing one to three positions at a table. The dealer deals from their left "first base" to their far right "third base".

Each box gets an initial hand of two cards visible to the people playing on it. The dealer's hand gets its first card face-up and, in "hole card" games, immediately gets a second card face-down the hole card , which the dealer peeks at but only reveals when it makes the dealer's hand a blackjack.

Hole card games are sometimes played on tables with a small mirror or electronic sensor used to peek securely at the hole card. In European casinos, "no hole card" games are prevalent; the dealer's second card is not drawn until the players have played their hands.

Dealers deal the cards from one or two handheld decks, from a dealer's shoe or from a shuffling machine. Single cards are dealt to each wagered-on position clockwise from the dealer's left, followed by a single card to the dealer, followed by an additional card to each of the positions in play.

The players' initial cards may be dealt face-up or face-down more common in single-deck games. The object of the game is to win money by creating card totals higher than those of the dealer's hand but not exceeding 21, or by stopping at a total in the hope that the dealer will bust.

On their turn, players choose to "hit" take a card , "stand" end their turn and stop without taking a card , "double" double their wager, take a single card, and finish , "split" if the two cards have the same value, separate them to make two hands , or "surrender" give up a half-bet and retire from the game.

Number cards count as their number, the jack, queen, and king "face cards" or "pictures" count as 10, and aces count as either 1 or 11 according to the player's choice.

If the total exceeds 21 points, it busts, and all bets on it immediately lose. After the boxes have finished playing, the dealer's hand is resolved by drawing cards until the hand achieves a total of 17 or higher.

If the dealer has a total of 17 including an ace valued as 11 a "soft 17" , some games require the dealer to stand while other games require another draw.

The dealer never doubles, splits, or surrenders. If the dealer busts, all remaining player hands win. If the dealer does not bust, each remaining bet wins if its hand is higher than the dealer's and loses if it is lower.

A player total of 21 on the first two cards is a "natural" or "blackjack", and the player wins immediately unless the dealer also has one, in which case the hand ties. In the case of a tie "push" or "standoff" , bets are returned without adjustment. A blackjack beats any hand that is not a blackjack, even one with a value of Wins are paid out at even money, except for player blackjacks, which are traditionally paid out at 3 to 2 odds.

Many casinos today pay blackjacks at less than This is common in single-deck blackjack games. Blackjack games usually offer a side bet called insurance , which may be placed when the dealer's face-up card is an ace. Additional side bets, such as "Dealer Match" which pays when the player's cards match the dealer's up card, are also sometimes available.

After the initial two cards, the player has up to five options: "hit", "stand", "double down", "split", or "surrender". Each option has a corresponding hand signal. Hand signals help the " eye in the sky " make a video recording of the table, which resolves disputes and identifies dealer mistakes.

It is also used to protect the casino against dealers who steal chips or players who cheat. Recordings can also identify advantage players.

When a player's hand signal disagrees with their words, the hand signal takes precedence. A hand can "hit" as often as desired until the total is 21 or more.

Players must stand on a total of After a bust or a stand, play proceeds to the next hand clockwise around the table.

After the last hand is played, the dealer reveals the hole card and stands or draws according to the game's rules.

When the outcome of the dealer's hand is established, any hands with bets remaining on the table are resolved usually in counterclockwise order ; bets on losing hands are forfeited, the bet on a push is left on the table, and winners are paid out.

If the dealer shows an ace, an "insurance" bet is allowed. Insurance is a side bet that the dealer has a blackjack. The dealer asks for insurance bets before the first player plays.

Insurance bets of up to half the player's current bet are placed on the "insurance bar" above the player's cards. If the dealer has a blackjack, insurance pays 2 to 1. In most casinos, the dealer looks at the down card and pays off or takes the insurance bet immediately.

In other casinos, the payoff waits until the end of the play. In face-down games, if a player has more than one hand, they can look at all their hands before deciding.

This is the only condition where a player can look at multiple hands. Players with blackjack can also take insurance. When this happens, it is called 'even money,' as the player is giving up their payout for a payout when taking insurance with a blackjack, under the condition that they still get paid if the dealer also has a blackjack.

Insurance bets lose money in the long run. The dealer has a blackjack less than one-third of the time. In some games, players can also take insurance when a valued card shows, but the dealer has an ace in the hole less than one-tenth of the time. The insurance bet is susceptible to advantage play.

It is advantageous to make an insurance bet whenever the hole card has more than a one in three chance of being a ten. Card counting techniques can identify such situations. Note: Where changes in the house edge due to changes in the rules are stated in percentage terms, the difference is usually stated here in percentage points , not a percentage.

Blackjack rules are generally set by regulations that establish permissible rule variations at the casino's discretion. Most of the house's edge comes from the fact that the player loses when both the player and dealer bust.

The house edge for games where blackjack pays 6 to 5 instead of 3 to 2 increases by about 1. Player deviations from basic strategy also increase the house edge. Each game has a rule about whether the dealer must hit or stand on soft 17, which is generally printed on the table surface.

The variation where the dealer must hit soft 17 is abbreviated "H17" in blackjack literature, with "S17" used for the stand-on-soft variation. Substituting an "H17" rule with an "S17" rule in a game benefits the player, decreasing the house edge by about 0. All things being equal, using fewer decks decreases the house edge.

This mainly reflects an increased likelihood of player blackjack, since if the player draws a ten on their first card, the subsequent probability of drawing an ace is higher with fewer decks. It also reflects the decreased likelihood of a blackjack—blackjack push in a game with fewer decks.

Casinos generally compensate by tightening other rules in games with fewer decks, to preserve the house edge or discourage play altogether. When offering single-deck blackjack games, casinos are more likely to disallow doubling on soft hands or after splitting, restrict resplitting, require higher minimum bets, and pay the player less than for a winning blackjack.

The following table illustrates the mathematical effect on the house edge of the number of decks, by considering games with various deck counts under the following ruleset: double after split allowed, resplit to four hands allowed, no hitting split aces, no surrendering, double on any two cards, original bets only lost on dealer blackjack, dealer hits soft 17, and cut-card used.

The increase in house edge per unit increase in the number of decks is most dramatic when comparing the single-deck game to the two-deck game, and becomes progressively smaller as more decks are added. Surrender, for those games that allow it, is usually not permitted against a dealer blackjack; if the dealer's first card is an ace or ten, the hole card is checked to make sure there is no blackjack before surrender is offered.

This rule protocol is consequently known as "late" surrender. The alternative, "early" surrender, gives the player the option to surrender before the dealer checks for blackjack, or in a no hole card game. Early surrender is much more favorable to the player than late surrender. For late surrender, however, while it is tempting to opt for surrender on any hand which will probably lose, the correct strategy is to only surrender on the very worst hands, because having even a one-in-four chance of winning the full bet is better than losing half the bet and pushing the other half, as entailed by surrendering.

If the cards of a post-split hand have the same value, most games allow the player to split again, or "resplit". The player places a further wager, and the dealer separates the new pair dealing a further card to each as before.

Some games allow unlimited resplitting, while others may limit it to a certain number of hands, such as four hands for example, "resplit to 4". After splitting aces, the common rule is that only one card will be dealt to each ace; the player cannot split, double, or take another hit on either hand.

Rule variants include allowing resplitting aces or allowing the player to hit split aces. Games allowing aces to be resplit are not uncommon, but those allowing the player to hit split aces are extremely rare.

Allowing the player to hit hands resulting from split aces reduces the house edge by about 0. Note that a ten-value card dealt on a split ace or vice versa will not be counted as a blackjack but as a soft
