Blackjack is also known as “21” and that's down to how the game is actually played. The main aim is to collect a hand of 21, before you go bust, or reach over 21 or the dealer reaching 21 before you have.
Blackjack can be played with 1 to 8 decks of cards, depending on the version you’re playing, with the value of each card being represented by its face value. An Ace is valued at 1 or 11, and that’s a choice that you’ll make yourself depending on the hand you’ve been dealt.
If you’re looking to learn how to play blackjack, we’ve got you covered. How it works is that a dealer will set out two cards - one for you and one for themselves. If you’re lucky and you’ve got an ace and a face card, you would have reached the total of 21 and won the round. If you don’t win straight away, you’ll ask to be “hit” and get another round. You can keep asking for new cards until you reach 21, or as close as you can get to 21 without going over. If you’re the first to reach 21 or get the closest to 21, you’ll win that round.
Blackjack rules are as follows:
There are plenty more, but these will be sure you get you started with online blackjack.

Blackjack is one of the simpler card games to pick up. That said, it’s always good to keep a few things in mind when you head to the tables, whether it’s at the casino or to play blackjack online.
Brush up on your basic strategy
Blackjack is a game of luck, sure, but that’s not to say skill doesn’t play a part. Having the right ways to hit, stand, split and double down your hand at your fingertips can go a long way in contributing towards a positive experience. You can even buy blackjack strategy cards to help you memorize what you need to know before you draw your first card.
Start small and stick to your own cards
Especially if you’re a beginner, it’s best not to go in guns blazing. Most casinos have a variety of blackjack tables, and nothing says you have to pick the first one you find. Take the time to observe the dealer and their style of play before sitting down. Especially if you’re a beginner, pick a table with liberal rules.
Once you’ve sat down at your chosen blackjack table, whether online or off, don’t let yourself be distracted. Blackjack is, essentially, a game between you and the dealer. Ignore what other players are doing and focus on your own hand.
Remember to play responsibly
Royal Vegas Ontario offers players a range of options to manage their play, from being able to set temporary blocks on play (from 24 hours to 3 months) to self-administered tests to check if you having a gambling problem to access to links to various responsible gambling sites and resources.
