Blackjack is one of the oldest casino games that are still played commonly across the world, dating back all the way to the time of the French revolution when even the casinos themselves were radically different from how they are right now, believe it or not. Back then, the people you were playing blackjack with were other players instead of dealers employed by the casino, and as such you could come up with various tricks and strategies in order to defeat them. And while the game of blackjack doesn’t really change, there are two things that do – its name and the people you play against. Just like how, over hundreds of years, casinos gradually began employing dealers to play against the players, today we’re faced with yet another revolution as we see these very same dealers gradually becoming obsolete and being replaced by AI in online casinos.
Interestingly enough, while blackjack is, objectively speaking, the only casino game that can be beaten for an almost certain profit (by counting cards, like in the movie “21”), its transition online has completely destroyed the hopes and dreams of any potential card counters. And while there’s several guides online about how to succeed at online blackjack, such as this example, the truth of the matter is that, at the end of the day, it all relies on pure luck. Maybe you’ll get a blackjack, or maybe you’ll go bust immediately. With the deck being shuffled before each hand, there’s no accurate way to predict what will come next. All you can do is minimize your losses and wait for that big lucky break.
So, how do you do that? Well, there’s a couple of ways. First and foremost – bet small! Unless you can really, seriously afford it (and I doubt that you can, if you’re reading this), high rolling online is mostly not worth it. No matter what, you’re going to be losing more than you’re winning – the trick is to make it so that you cut your losses and maximize your winnings in order to turn in a profit at the end of the day, and that just doesn’t happen with high rolling. Another thing you should also always be looking out for are the odds – AI, unlike a real dealer, can be pretty dumb, and you should take full advantage of it! Sometimes it’s set to hit on a 17, or split tens every time – find those holes in its programming and exploit them!
At the end of the game, despite what many sites online will tell you, there’s no surefire way for you to win at online blackjack – the system was simply designed by people who specifically wanted to and did everything in their power to prevent that from happening. All you can do is make sure you maximize your winnings and minimize your losses. Don’t expect to become a millionaire… But if you do it right, you just might be able to get a little extra dough in your pocket!
Online casinos have numerous types of bonuses they give to reward new players for joining. That could mean a no deposit bonus, a one-time deposit bonus or a bonus pack. But for you to be able to make an informed choice as to what type of offer will agree with you, you need to know more about all of them. So, let’s see what are the good and the not-so-good characteristics of the two deposit bonus types.
We spoke last time briefly about the different types of casino bonuses and the wagering requirements attached to them. But there is another important aspect that I promised we will cover in the second part of this lesson – game contributions. Let me explain.
Online casinos give players different types of bonuses – some upon registration, some for their first deposits and some don’t even require a deposit in the first place. But almost all of them have wagering requirements and if you are not familiar with them, these bonuses may do more harm than good. To prevent that from happening, I have decided to create a small guide, in which I will explain how these bonuses work and how to play through them like a pro. Let’s begin!
If there is one thing that I love about online casinos, except the obvious – games, it’s bonuses. I love how you sometimes get more than you bargained for and get to play with up to 5 times your deposit or even without having to make one in the first place. But wait! Where are my manners? First of all, hello and thank you for visiting my site. I will skip the rest of the formalities, you don’t need to know my name and where I am from, you can just call me Danny. Now that we got that out of the way, let me tell you a few things about what this site will feature and why I decided to create it.
