At Shazam Casino, our love for Blackjack online is endless. That's why we continually expand our collection, offering more versions to play for real money in our online casino.
We offer both traditional and unique Blackjack games, ensuring there's something for everyone. Whether you prefer real money or free practice play, you'll find versions for both desktop and mobile.
New to Blackjack? Here's a quick overview of the rules and strategy. Blackjack is a card game in which you compete against the Dealer to get a better hand. To win, your hand must have a higher score than the Dealer's without exceeding 21 points. If either you or the Dealer exceeds 21 points, it's called a bust and results in an automatic loss. Conversely, there's also an automatic win: occasionally, you'll be dealt a perfect score of 21 with your initial two-card hand.
Usually, you won't hit Blackjack right away. You'll need to build a competitive hand. There are three to four moves you can make to improve your hand.
Hit: Take another card to increase your points as long as you stay under 22.
Stand: When satisfied with your hand, stand to finalize your score and determine the winner.
Double: Double your bet to receive one additional card.
Surrender: In some versions of online Blackjack, you can surrender your first two cards, get back half your bet, and end the round.
In a real casino, you might find only one or two Blackjack options. Online, however, your choices expand significantly. At Shazam Casino, we offer nine versions of online Blackjack and a live dealer option, ensuring you'll find the perfect game to suit your tastes.
Our top choice is the six-deck game simply named Blackjack. Look for the version with the blue background, which you can customize. You can choose from three card deck styles and toggle sound, music, and labels. The game menu provides rules, and three tutorials are available to help you master Blackjack.
Playing for free is enjoyable, but winning real money in Blackjack, you need to master the best basic strategy. Experts have analyzed every possible hand combination against the Dealer's upcard to determine optimal moves. Memorize the optimal action for every scenario using strategy charts, which are available online and in casino gift shops. Ensure the chart matches the specific Blackjack game you're playing. Actions vary based on the number of decks and whether the Dealer hits or stands on soft 17s. Keep a chart by your computer and use it while practicing online Blackjack in free play mode.
