This is our first blackjack game and trainer and I'm proud to finally add our version 2 with enhanced graphics and the ability to learn how to count cards to my website. The game is mostly self-explanatory. If you make an inferior play, the game will warn you first. I recommend that before you play for real money both online in person that you practice on the game until you very rarely are warned you a making an inferior play. If doubling or splitting is mathematically the correct play, but you don't have enough chips, the game will give the best advice for what you can afford to do. Do not change rules mid-hand. If you do, the change will not take effect until the next hand. The advice is based on my own analysis and basic strategy tables for one, two, and four+ decks. The deck(s) is(are) shuffled after every hand.

If you find any bugs, please contact me. A screenshot would be appreciated if you claim the game is misplaying a hand. I get a lot of incorrect reports that the advice given is incorrect. This usually can be explained by the user not using the correct basic strategy for the rules selected. I have also had many comments about the advice on a player 16, composed of 3 or more cards, against a 10. As a rule of thumb, the player should stand in that situation. However, that is a basic strategy exception. The game only knows basic strategy. Also, please note that it is a standard blackjack rule that split aces get one card each. If one of them is a ten, it is not a blackjack, it is just 21 points. That is how blackjack is usually played.

I would like to thank JB for his outstanding work on this game, and Dingo Systems for the cards.

Blackjack Online FAQ

Q1: What are the rules in online blackjack games?

A: As in land casinos, they vary. Online help files are notoriously badly written and incomplete. The Wizard of Odds, we try hard to keep an accurate listing of rules for every brand of software and live dealers. You may find such rules, for every game, in our Software Review section.

Q2: Generally speaking, are the rules better in land or online casinos?

A: All things considered, I would say they are better online. For one thing, you almost never see a blackjack (ace and 10) pay 6 to 5 only online, while this is becoming the norm in land casinos in the United States.

Q3: What are the typical rules at live dealer casinos online?

A: Live dealer rules are very similar to what you would see in a land casino. The typical rules are:

• Eight decks
• Dealer stands on soft 17
• Dealer does NOT peek for blackjack
• No surrender
• Player may double on any two cards
• Player may double after a split
• No re-splitting

Be careful double or splitting if the dealer has a ten or ace showing. At most live dealer brands, you will lose everything if the dealer gets a blackjack. Under this 'no peek' rule, the only time you should put more money out on the table against a potential dealer blackjack is to split two aces against a dealer 10.

The house edge under the rules above is 0.61%.

Q4: When are the cards shuffled in online blackjack?

A: In a fully electronic game, they are probably shuffled after every hand. In a live dealer game, they are usually shuffled about half way through the shoe.

Q5: Oh really?! Even with only 50% penetration, what is to prevent me from counting cards against a live dealer?

A: I've asked this question of some people in the business. Nobody would tell me exactly how they protect their game against counters, but they assured me that they do. If I ran a live dealer casino, I would run a test of every player to see how their bet size is correlated to the true count. Then I would carefully examine the play of such players with a strong correlation.

Q6: How do 'probably fair' casinos accomplish so-called in blackjack?

A: It is rather involved, but here is typically how it is done:

1. The casino will generate a random long string of characters, called a Server Seed, hash it, and give the hashed result to the player BEFORE he makes a bet.
2. The player chooses a string of characters himself, called the Client Seed, or accepts a random default provided by the casino.
3. The client and server seed are combined and hashed.
4. The hashed result from step 3 will be parsed somehow, with the hexadecimal characters converted to base 10 and then mapped to specific cards if in a desired range.
5. The game will deal cards according to their order in the hash from step 3. This hash should be long enough that running out of cards would be almost impossible.
6. After the hand, the casino should reveal the Client Seed, which the player may verify hashes to the result provided before the bet. It is then a tedious process above to do all the math to convert the hash to actual cards, but the player may do that if he wishes.

I go into this in greater depth for a particular brand in my page on Blackjack (Encrypted Version).

Q7: I don't want to bother jumping through all those hoops to verify fairness in an encrypted game. Do you think that just the ability to verify fairness is enough to keep the casinos honest?

A: No. Encrypted or not, a casino could cheat the player in any game, except sports betting, any time they wished. In the case of an encrypted casino, the operator could choose a Server Seed that causes the player to lose after the bet is made. If the player catches them in a hash mismatch, which I think very few players bother to check, the casino can simply ignore the accusation or deny it without comment. This is exactly what happened to me at Wixiplay.

Q8: Your story aside, how common is cheating at blackjack, or any game, online?

A: In my opinion, it is quite rare.

Q9: How can I improve my odds of not being cheated?

A: There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Internet casinos out there. In the absence of any serious government regulation, the industry has done a pretty good job of regulating itself. Between legitimate watchdog affiliate sites and some common sense, here are some ways to choose a reputable brand to trust with your hard-earned dollar:

• Read the fine print. Most casinos have a good looking main page, but dig around the more obscure pages like terms & conditions. If you see a lot of spelling and grammatical mistakes, that should set off a red flag.
• Ping customer support. If you can't think of your own question, ask anything, for example, 'Do you accept players from Kyrgyzstan?' See how long it takes for them to reply and measure their professionalism and courtesy of their reply.
• Check reputable affiliate sites. Many affiliate sites promote whoever pays the most, but the good ones are picky about who they promote and will intervene in the unlikely event of a player dispute. We would like to think of ourselves as one of the good ones. A good way to avoid the worst of casinos is to check the blacklists of reputable affiliates.
• Smart small. Players should always bet in moderation anywhere, but especially when opening a new account online with an unfamiliar brand. Dink around with a small deposit and small bets until you have built up some trust.

Q10: Any other words of advice before playing blackjack online?

A: Whether playing online or in a land casino, use the appropriate basic strategy for the rules offered. The Wizard of Odds blackjack strategy calculator will give the correct basic strategy for almost any set of rules.
A much greater problem than outright cheating is online casinos faulting players on a technicality in the rules and seizing whatever funds they deem appropriate. This is a particularly a problem with bonuses. The terms and conditions for bonuses can be pages long and very restrictive in terms of allowed games, bet sizes, and types of bets. If the player loses, nobody ever checks, but after a win and withdrawal request, suddenly the play may be subject to careful review for compliance. Never assume that because you were invited to play a bonus via Email that you're eligible for it. Casinos typically blast everybody in their list. An easy rule to overlook is when a bonus is eligible for 'new money' only. Don't expect the casino to enforce this rule when entering a couple code, but do expect it when you actually make a withdrawal and they look for any reason to deny it.
While bonuses can make your money last much longer and increase your chances of winning, they are a minefield in terms of compliance. Read the rules carefully. If in doubt the way you play is compliant, then don't ask for the bonus in the first place.

Live Roulette

Live Roulette is played with a live dealer and a real Roulette wheel*. We use standardEuropean Roulette rules.

*For the tables that have Slingshot in the name, an automated Roulette wheel is used, instead of a live dealer and a real Roulette wheel.

Live Roulette games can also be played in a landbased Casino. The only difference between standard and landbased Roulette is that the latter is played withouta betting timer. Round progress is announced via player notifications. Due to this feature,ignore the reference to betting timer in the betting flow section.

Rules

Limits

Minimum and maximum position limits are applied to all tables, meaning that all your bets on available positions must be within the limits indicated under the Table Limits panel.

The Min and Max sign on the table indicate the limits for a Plein (Straight Up) bet. Some tables also have a minimum and maximum table limit, meaning that the sum of your bets must be within the limits. These limits are also shown on the Limits panel.

Bet types

There are many ways to place Roulette bets in Live Roulette. Each bet type covers a different set of numbers and has a different distribution. The payouts for all bets are listed in the Winnings Table below.

Roulette inside bets

These are the figures on the internal area of the Roulette table layout, where you bet on each specific number.

Roulette outside bets

These are the bet positions on the outside edge of the board, e.g. Even, Odd, Red, Black, etc.

Straight Up (Plein)

You can bet on any number, including zero (0), by placing your chip on the centre of a number. The maximum bet for this wager is indicated under the Limits panel.

Split bet (Cheval)

You can bet on two numbers by placing a chip on the line that divides the two numbers. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by two.

Street bet (Transversale Pleine)

To bet on a row of three numbers (a street), place a chip on the boundary line of the Roulette table, at the end of the corresponding row. A bet on three numbers 0, 1 and 2, or 0, 2 and 3 is a special Street bet. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by three.

Corner bet (Carré)

You can bet on four numbers by placing a chip at the corner where the four numbers meet. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by four.

Basket bet (Transversale de Quatre)

You can bet on the numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3 by placing your chip on the boundary line, where the line between zero (0) and the first row intersects it. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by four.

Line bet (Transversale Simple)

You can bet on two streets (i.e., on six different numbers in two rows, three numbers in each row), by placing your chip on the boundary line of the Roulette table where the line dividing the two rows intersects it. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by six.

Column bet (Colonne)

You can bet on all twelve numbers in a column by placing a bet in one of the three boxes marked as “2 to 1” in regular Roulette, or in any of the empty boxes on the French Roulette table. If any of the numbers in the selected column is hit, you get paid 2:1. Note that zero (0) is a losing number. This bet option has minimum and maximum limits that are not derived from the Straight Up bet and can be found under the Table Limits panel.

Dozen bet (Douzaine)

You can bet on a group of twelve numbers by placing a chip on the area marked as “1st 12”, “2nd 12” and “3rd 12” in regular Roulette; and “D12”, “M12” and “P12” in French Roulette. If one of your 12 numbers is hit, you are paid 2:1. Note that zero (0) is a losing number. This bet option has minimum and maximum limits that are not derived from the Straight Up bet and can be found under the Table Limits panel.

Red/Black,Even/Odd (Pair/Impair) , Low (Manque or 1-18) / High (Passe or19-36) and the La Partage rule

You can place a bet in one of the boxes along the long side of the table that covers half of the numbers on the Roulette table (excluding zero). Each box covers 18 numbers. You win even money (1 to 1) on all these bets. In regular Roulette, if the outcome is zero (0), player loses their bet; in French Roulette they get half their bet back (see theLa Partage rule). This bet option has minimum and maximum limits that are not derived from the Straight Up bet and can be found in the Limits panel.

Special bets

Following bets can be placed using the Racetrack, My Bets and Special bets panels.

Straight Up bets

Place Straight Up bets on all the numbers belonging to a specific bet type.

Complete bets

This is a bet on all the different inside bets that have been made on a specific number.

Half-complete bets

This is a bet that covers the same positions as Complete bets but excludes Street and Line bets.

Voisins du Zéro

A bet on the neighbours of zero (0) on the Roulette wheel that covers every number on the wheel between 22 and 25, covering nearly half of the wheel, along with the zero (0).

The Voisins du Zéro bet places nine chips on the board: two chips on the triplet 0/2/3, two chips as Corner bet on 25/26/28/29 and one chip each as Split bet on 4/7, 12/15, 18/21, 19/22 and 32/35. The total of the Voisins du Zéro bet is 9 x the selected chip value.

The payout is as follows:

Tiers du Cylindre

Tiers du Cylindre or Tiers means 'one third of the wheel', since this is as close to 1/3 of the wheel as one can get. This bet covers the twelve numbers which lie on the opposite side of the wheel between 27 and 33, together with 27 and 33 themselves. The series is 27,13,36,11,30,8,23,10,5,24,16,33 (on a single zero wheel).

The bet places six chips, where one chip is placed on each of the following splits: 5/8; 10/11; 13/16; 23/24; 27/30; 33/36.

Orphelins(Orphans)

These numbers make up the two slices of the wheel outside the Tiers and Voisins. They contain a total of eight numbers, comprising 17,34,6 and 1,20,14,31,9.

• Orphelins en Plein : Places one Straight Up bet on each orphan’s position.

The payout is as follows:

Jeu 0 - Zéro

Jeu 0 (Jeu Zéro) is smaller version of the Voisins du Zéro bet. It covers the number in between (and containing) 12 and 15 on a Roulette wheel. One chip is placed on number 26 and one chip on each of the splits: 0/3; 12/15; 32/35.

Jeu7/9

This bet covers all numbers ending in 7, 8, or 9. One chip is paced on 19 and 27 as Straight Up bets and one chip on each of the splits: 7/8; 8/9; 17/18; 28/29.

Finales en Plein

This is a bet on all the numbers on the Roulette wheel that have the same last digit, e.g.: 'Final 5' means a bet on the numbers 5, 15, 25, 35.

This bet places four chips when 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 is selected as the last digit - one chip on each number as a Straight Up bet. If the spin result is one of these numbers, the payout is the regular Straight Up bet win on that number. Thus, your profit is 35 + 1 - 4 chips = 32 chips.

However, the bet places three chips when 7, 8 or 9 is selected as the last digit - one chip on each number as a Straight Up bet. Thus, your profit in this case is 35 + 1 - 3 = 33 chips.

The table below gives a brief overview of the number of chips that are placed on the game table with each special bet, and which Roulette wheel positions the bet covers.

Note: You can place bets that involve two, three, or even four numbers. For example, using the zero, you can place bets on: 1+0, 1+2+0, 2+0, 3+0, or 1+2+3+0.

Winnings table

Although the payout ratios are fixed, the return depends on the number of chips involved in the bet. For example: in case of the Neighbours bet, the winning number always pays 35 to 1. If, for example, the bet is placed on five consecutive numbers 11-30-8-23-10, it involves five chips. If one of the numbers is hit, the return is 35 + 1 - 5 = 31 chips.

Winning number display

The winning number display shows the results of the previous spins.
