Blackjack Online

Online Blackjack Ontario

Blackjack is one of the most iconic casino classics of all time and a staple at any casino, rivalling poker as the most played game. At Betiton Ontario, we’re committed to offering our members the best real blackjack online games available.

Whether you’re a newbie to blackjack or have already played a few hands, this guide will give you some valuable insights. Discover the best titles at our online casino, dive into important terminology and rules, and get our best tips for the game.

Online Blackjack Explained

Before playing blackjack, every player should know a few basic rules and facts about the game. Remember, blackjack requires skill and strategy to play optimally, so it’s not just about luck.

Blackjack takes some practice to master, so we also allow our players to play for fun before playing for real money. Let’s review the basic rules of this online casino game:

• The aim of blackjack is to beat the dealer. The way to do that is to get a hand that’s as close to 21 as possible.
• If you exceed 21, you lose the game. This is referred to as ‘busting’.
• You get two cards on the initial deal, and you’ll then need to decide whether to keep your hand as it is or take additional cards.
• If the dealer’s hand has a higher value, you lose the game.
• If your hand and the dealer’s are of equal value, this is called a ‘push’. In this case, your original bet is refunded.
• When you’re playing real money games, betting limits always indicate the minimum and maximum bets allowed.

Types of Online Blackjack You Can Play at Betiton Ontario

Betiton Ontario offers different types of blackjack casino games, so you’re not limited to the classic version. Here are some options you’ll find on our site.

Classic Blackjack

This is the most standard blackjack game our casino has to offer. In this version, the dealer gets two cards, one dealt facing up and one facing down. When every player has made their move, the face-down card is revealed.

European Blackjack

European blackjack has the same rules as classic blackjack except for one important difference. The dealer initially gets one card, and the second is dealt after every player has played their hand.

Live Blackjack

As the name suggests, live blackjack is the live version of virtual blackjack. This game is played with a professional dealer and live-streamed from a casino studio in real time.

Online Blackjack Card Values

Learning the card values is necessary to determine the value of your hand and decide whether to hit, stand, or double down. Learning the values below should be the first step in learning the game.

Online Blackjack Card Variations and Payouts

According to the blackjack rules, only one bet is necessary to play the game, which is known as the main bet. However, several side bets are offered in most games, which you can try out for a chance at additional payouts.

The most common side bets are the Perfect Pairs and the 21+3 side bets, explained in the table below:

Online Blackjack Bet Types

The first step to playing blackjack is to place the minimum bet (or higher) to start the game. Once your cards are dealt, you’ll have a few more bet types at your disposal. The rest of the blackjack bet types are described in the following sections.

Double Down

If you’re dealt a strong hand, your best strategy might be to double down rather than hit. Most online casinos allow you to double down on any hand, but you should always follow a strategy chart to double on the right hands.

Splitting Hands

Blackjack casino games also allow you to split your cards if you’re dealt a pair. However, that doesn’t mean that you should split any pair. For example, Aces and Eights should be split, but a pair of 10s should never be split.

Insurance

If the dealer’s upcard is an Ace, you’ll be offered the option to take Insurance. This will cost you half of your original bet, and if the dealer gets a blackjack, you get a payout of 2:1. If they don’t, you lose the insurance bet blackjack.

Surrender

If allowed, you can surrender a bad hand with which you know you can’t beat the dealer. If this option is available and you take it, you will get half of your stake back and sit out for that round.

Side Bets and Payouts in Online Blackjack

Before your cards are dealt, you can also play additional side bets, and you’re not limited to just the 21+3 or Perfect Pair side bet blackjack. The side bets described below offer some of the biggest payouts in the game, but you should also be aware that the blackjack odds aren’t favourable for these bets.

Online Blackjack Strategies

Below is a brief look at the best strategies you can try, whether you want to practice blackjack online for free or for real money.

• The Martingale Strategy – A strategy that states you should double your stake after every loss and keep doing so until you hit a win.
• The Fibonacci Method  – Using the Fibonacci number sequence to size your bets accordingly. This sequence comprises a series of numbers where each is the sum of the two preceding it.
• Blackjack Bet Behind – A strategy is commonly used in live and land-based blackjack. Instead of playing your hand, you bet ‘behind’ a player sitting at the table, and you don’t make the decisions in the game.
• Bet Spread System – The blackjack bet spread method is a way of managing your bankroll by setting your minimum and maximum bets (which can’t exceed the game’s betting limits).
