Live Blackjack
Live dealer blackjack is the same as going to a brick-and-mortar casino. All you want is to beat dealers at the earliest possibility. The other players’ hands have nothing to do with you.
So, the thought constantly hovering around the player’s mind is, how can one beat a dealer?
Play live blackjack and its variations in Canada
Players taking opart in this famous table game require overlapping skill sets; knowing basic strategy is not enough. This quickfire guide will give you everything you need to know to start playing at our live casino section.
Just as you would find many different types of blackjack games at your local casino, the live online variation also features a range to choose from. This is just a small selection of what you can expect.
American Blackjack (Classic)
This is the version of this table game that is the most widely played and remains the most popular variant at blackjack tables. In the American version of the game, you'll notice that your live dealer will get their hole card (i.e. the one that is face down) before you make a call about your own hand.
European Blackjack
This version differs from its American cousin in that there is no hole card before you make your decision. You play your hand first, and only then will the dealer get a second card.
Another difference is that the dealer will not have a peek at their card when an insurance bet is taken. The hands are played to their conclusion. In the American version, the dealer will take a look at the card, with insurance being paid out and all other bets losing in the case of blackjack.
So how to play live blackjack online?
When you play live blackjack online, you’ll need to approach it differently than the static virtual gameplay you may be used to. You're in total control in virtual blackjack (i.e. no live dealer).
One of the best parts of playing blackjack online is that you can practically find a place at any table. If you need a bathroom break, the game will wait for you. Are you confused about your next move? You can consult basic strategies at leisure. When it comes to the live version of the game, however, the pace is just as quick as it is at a brick-and-mortar casino.
So before you ‘graduate’ to live dealer blackjack tables, consider memorising basic strategy and your bankroll management system. When it’s your turn to hit or stick, you need to make your move without second-guessing yourself. You follow your plan instinctively. That’s how you play blackjack live.
