Online Blackjack Games at Bodog

Bodog offers a comprehensive selection of online blackjack games, including single deck and multi-hand blackjack games, each presenting unique gameplay elements such as side bets to keep the experience engaging. Here’s an overview of some popular variants:

• Standard Blackjack: This six-deck game allows players to manage up to three hands at once, while the dealer is restricted to a single hand per round. The multi-hand option adds a strategic dimension, enhancing the complexity of each round.
• Classic Blackjack: This variation is played with six decks, with the decks being reshuffled after each hand to maintain fairness. One key feature of the Classic game is the dealer’s requirement to hit on a soft 17 (a hand including an Ace valued as 11). This rule affects the dealer's chances of busting and influences how players should approach their own hands.
• Double Deck Blackjack: The dealer is required to stand on soft 17, providing a potential strategic advantage for players. The game also permits doubling down, splitting pairs, and taking insurance, a side bet that pays 2:1 if the dealer holds a natural 21. This variant is a popular choice among seasoned players.
• 22 Blackjack: When playing 22 Blackjack, if the dealer’s hand totals 22, all bets are returned as a push unless the player busts. This rule offers a safety net in situations where the dealer has a strong hand, providing players with a chance to avoid losing their bet under certain conditions.

Aside from the previously mentioned Blackjack games, our selection at Bodog also includes Single Deck and its Classic version, 21 Burn, Perfect Pair 21 + 3, Dragon Blackjack Guarantee, European Blackjack, Perfect Pairs, Pirate 21, Pontoon 21, Super 7, and Zappit, ensuring a rich and varied gaming experience.

Live Blackjack in Canada

For those seeking a more interactive experience, live blackjack in Canada offers the thrill of real-time play. The games are streamed from a professional studio, with real dealers facilitating the gameplay. With 32 tables available, players can choose their preferred betting limits, ranging from $5 to $50,000.

The Live Dealer section allows players to view all available tables, complete with dealer information, betting limits, and available seats. The 'Unlimited Bet Behind' feature enables players to place bets on another player’s hand, even if no seats are available. This feature ensures that players can participate in the action without having to wait for a spot at the table.

Side betting is another feature of our live version, allowing players to place additional bets alongside their main hand. For example, the Rummy side bet offers a 9 to 1 payout if the player’s two cards and the dealer’s up-card form a three-card flush, straight, or three-of-a-kind. The Pairs side bet pays out 11 to 1 if the player’s first two cards form a pair.

Blackjack: Rules and How to Play

Understanding the rules of blackjack, and what tables to choose is crucial for maximizing your chances of winning. The primary objective in the game is to achieve a hand value closer to 21 than the dealer, without exceeding 21. If the player or dealer exceeds 21, it results in a bust, leading to an automatic loss.

Understanding Blackjack hands

Blackjack is a game of strategy where understanding different hand types is crucial for success. The ultimate hand is a natural Blackjack (an Ace and a 10-value card), which typically offers the highest payout. Other strong hands include pairs of 10s, hard 11, and pairs of Aces. Conversely, hands like hard 16 and the "trouble trio" of 13, 14, and 15 are considered the most challenging to play profitably. You also need to understand the differences between soft hands (containing an Ace that can be counted as 1 or 11) and hard hands (without an Ace or where the Ace must be counted as 1). Soft hands offer more flexibility and often allow for more aggressive play, while hard hands require more caution.

A natural "Blackjack" occurs when a player is dealt an Ace and a ten-value card (10, Jack, Queen, or King) in the initial deal, paying out 3:2. Most hands, however, require strategic building to reach a winning total. Key actions include:

• Hit: Request an additional card to increase your hand value, with the goal of staying under 22 points.
• Stand: Choose to keep your current hand value and end your turn.
• Double Down: Double your initial bet for the opportunity to receive one additional card. Double down option is typically available when your starting hand totals 9, 10, or 11.
• Surrender: If you choose to surrender at the start of your turn, you forfeit half of your bet and the hand immediately ends.
• Split: If you’re dealt a pair, you have the option to split the cards into two separate hands, effectively doubling your bet by placing a second wager equal to your original one. For instance, splitting Aces or 8s can improve your chances of drawing strong hands. Keep in mind that different blackjack variants may have specific rules regarding splitting Aces, so it’s important to review the blackjack guide for the version you’re playing.
• Insurance: When the dealer’s upcard is an Ace, you can choose to take “insurance” as a side bet. This bet protects against the dealer having a 10-point card as their hole card, and if they do, the insurance pays out at 2 to 1.

You should follow basic strategies. These involve using a set of guidelines based on mathematical probabilities for making optimal decisions. For example, always hit if your hand totals 8 or less, and stand on 17 or higher. Basic strategy charts are available and can guide your decisions based on your hand and the dealer’s upcard.
