Strategies for playing online blackjack are not very different from those developed for brick-and-mortar casinos. However, each type of gaming software has its own rules, and you have to learn what these rules in order to apply the correct strategy. The major software companies include: Playtech which offers a six-deck game where you are allowed to double your bet after splitting and with any two cards; Microgaming, which was the first software developer to create a fully-working online casino system, has European and Regular blackjack games; Boss Media, which offers both single-deck games and six-deck games; Realtime Gaming (RTG) offers games that use between 4 to 8 decks; and Cryptologic, which has an eight-deck game.
Although online casinos that offer single-deck blackjack games are becoming scarcer, you should play at these casinos if you can find them, since these games favor the player over the dealer. Since six-deck games seem to be the norm online, however, here are some strategy tips for this type of blackjack game:
· If you have a hard 18 or 17, you should always stand; if your hand is a hard 13 to 16, stand if the dealer’s face-up card is six or lower; if it is higher, then you should hit. On the other hand, if you have a hard seven, you should always hit.
· If you have a hard ten or eleven, you should always double if the rules allow it unless the dealer’s face-up card has a value of ten or higher; then you should hit.
· If your hand has an ace and the second card is six and below, always stand; if the second card is eight and above, then stand. But if you have two aces, always split.
