Blackjack 21 – the name of the game
In blackjack, players play against the dealer to build a hand with the closest value to 21 without going over, or bust, as it’s termed. A popular table game the world over, it’s relatively easy to pick up the rules and play.
Historical fact: When blackjack first became popular in casinos, bonuses were offered to players whose hands consisted of the Ace of Spades and a black Jack.
How to play blackjack online in Canada
Putting together a winning strategy is slightly more complex than just playing according to the basics, which aren’t difficult to learn.
To start, player and dealer both receive two cards. One of the dealer’s cards will be showing. The player must decide if the cards they’re holding are strong enough to beat the dealer’s hand, based on that one visible card.
It’s essential to know the value of the cards to play a game of backjack. Cards from two to ten are valued as they appear, picture cards (Jack, King, Queen) are valued at ten and the Ace is the game changer in blackjack, as it can be valued at either one or eleven, depending on how the player requires it to be valued.
The player works out the value of the two cards initially dealt and compares that to the potential value of the hand held by the dealer, of whose hand only one card is visible. Based on this, the player may choose to add more to their hand to get closer to 21 – a score as close as possible and higher than the dealer’s hand (also risking going bust). An initial hand dealt with a score of 21 is a perfect blackjack.
Mastering blackjack is the next step: being able to guess when to stick (stay with the value of your hand as it is) or to ask for a ‘hit’, or another card. You can keep choosing to hit, but, should your hand exceed 21, you’ll go bust. Once every player has either gone bust or chosen to stick, the dealer reveals their hand. If their total is 16 or less, the dealer must draw cards until the total reaches 17 or higher. The hand closest to 21 wins.
Players at All Slots Casino have a wide selection of online blackjack games to choose from and can play in varying formats across desktop to our mobile casino, making it a convenient game to play either at home or anywhere the player has a device and internet access. There are slight variations in the rules depending on the blackjack casino game chosen, but the general game remains more or less the same.
Progressive jackpot blackjack – how to play
Now that you’ve got an understanding of the basic game, you may want to find out more about a popular format of online blackjack – progressive jackpot blackjack. This version of blackjack is a great perk for the online casino enthusiast: the jackpot in a progressive jackpot game increases every time the game is played without the money being won. Eventually, the accumulated pot is won, and the game reverts to its original, predetermined jackpot amount. Then, the prize starts to accumulate all over again.
There’s no set limit to the final amount, so progressive jackpots can be a highly entertaining way to play the game of blackjack online at All Slots Casino.

A: The group of rules based on what players hold in their hand vs. what the dealer holds and how that can affect play is called the basic blackjack strategy.

Q: Should I hit or should I stand?
A: Standing or hitting in blackjack depends on the hand held by the payer and what the player guesses could be held by the dealer.
