Usually there are several blackjack variations at online casinos. American version is among popular versions. Contrary to common assumption, this blackjack type is popular in US as well as in European casinos.
Rules
As well
as other blackjack card games, American version is based on similar set of
rules. Participant with the sum of points closest to 21 or equal to 21 wins.
Online casino customers play against dealer which deals cards and also takes
part in the game.
The
key difference of American version is that casino dealer gets 2 cards at the
beginning of the round, but only one of them is face up. Let's remind that in
classic blackjack dealer is dealt one card and players can see its value.
Despite
this difference seems insignificant it has quite strong effect.
In
cases when dealer's card is an ace, second card will be shown. This is
important aspect because second card can give 10 points and as a result, online
casino dealer would have blackjack combination.
For
online casino players the rule when dealer is required to show his/her second
card is very useful.
If casino dealer would keep second card face down when showing an ace, players would keep making unnecessary moves such as splitting or doubling. And all these moves would make absolutely no sense, considering online casino dealer holds blackjack.
Because
rules require dealer to show both his/her cards when first card is an ace,
players at online casinos don’t waste their money on meaningless bets.
This
way blackjack players feel safer because the risk of losing money decreases
considerably. The game gets more interesting since uncertainty related to
European blackjack disappears.
Optimal
strategy just slightly differs from the one online casino players implement
when playing classic blackjack variation. Since casino dealer has to show
his/her second card when holding an ace, players just wait for the round to
finish without making any bets.
