Blackjack

Blackjack is one of those rare games where elegance meets pressure. Two cards are dealt, the dealer waits, and you’re left with a choice that can make or break the round. It’s a dance of numbers where fortune rewards the bold, but caution often pays just as well.

Bitcasino Originals reimagines this timeless classic with modern polish and intuitive design. The heart of Blackjack remains untouched, but the flow is faster, the options more responsive, and the experience sharper. Each hand feels like a fresh duel, stripped down to the essentials.

Bitcasino Originals’ Blackjack Details

Chasing 21: The Bitcasino Originals experience

Bitcasino Originals’ Blackjack follows the traditional goal of reaching 21 without going over. Players can Hit, Stand, Split, or Double, while the dealer must stand on all 17s. With side bets such as Perfect Pairs and 21+3, plus insurance options, the game offers variety alongside its core simplicity.

Card values

• Number cards (2–10) = face value

• Face cards (J, Q, K) = 10

• Aces = 1 or 11, whichever benefits your hand.

The main rules

1. Initial deal: You receive two cards, and the dealer gets two (one face up, one face down).

2. Best hand: A natural Blackjack (Ace + 10-value card) pays 3:2.

3. Gameplay options:

• Hit: Take another card.

• Stand: Keep your current hand.

• Double: Double your bet, receive one more card, and then stand.

• Split: If your two cards are of the same value, split them into two separate hands with an extra bet. (Note: Split Aces get only one extra card each.)

4. Dealer’s rule: Dealer must stand on all 17s.

5. Bust: If your hand exceeds 21, you automatically lose.

Side bets and Insurance

• Insurance: If the dealer shows an Ace, you can place an insurance bet worth half your stake. If the dealer has Blackjack, insurance pays 2:1.

• Perfect pairs: A side bet that pays if your first two cards form a pair:

  • Perfect Pair (same rank & suit) – 25:1

  • Coloured Pair (same rank & colour) – 12:1

  • Mixed Pair (same rank only) – 6:1.

• 21+3: A side bet combining your two cards with the dealer’s upcard to form poker hands:

  • Suited Three-of-a-Kind – 100:1

  • Straight Flush – 40:1

  • Three-of-a-Kind – 30:1

  • Straight – 10:1

  • Flush – 5:1.

Winning and Payouts

• Blackjack pays 3:2

• Standard wins pay 1:1

• Insurance pays 2:1

• Push (tie) returns your stake.

Tips for playing Bitcasino Originals’ Blackjack

Blackjack may be simple at its core, but playing smartly can make a real difference. Here are some useful tips to help you get the most from each hand.

1. Learn basic strategy

Memorise the general ‘hit or stand’ guidelines. For example, always stand on a hard 17 or higher, and hit if you have 11 or lower.

With a soft hand (one containing an Ace counted as 11), you can afford to be more aggressive — hit or double on soft 13–17.

2. Respect the Dealer’s upcard

If the dealer shows a 2–6 (a weak card), you should often stand on lower totals because there’s a higher chance the dealer will bust.

If the dealer shows a 7–Ace, be more cautious and consider hitting until you reach at least 17.

3. Use Double Down wisely

Doubling down can turn a good hand into a great win. The best times to double are when you have 10 or 11, especially if the dealer shows a lower card.

Remember, you’ll only receive one card after doubling, so use it in strong positions.

4. Know when to split

Always split Aces and 8s. Splitting Aces gives you two chances at a strong hand, and splitting 8s avoids being stuck with a weak 16.

Never split 10s or 5s — they’re stronger left together.

5. Be careful with Insurance

Insurance seems like a safety net, but statistically, it favours the house. Unless you’re card counting (not possible in online provably fair play), it’s usually best to avoid it.

6. Manage your bankroll

Decide your betting limits before you play and stick to them. Blackjack is a game of patience, not reckless wagers.

Avoid chasing losses — consistency is key to enjoying longer sessions.

7. Explore Side Bets, but treat them as extras

Perfect Pairs and 21+3 can add fun twists, but they come with a lower RTP than standard play. Use them for entertainment, not as your main strategy.
