Blackjack at Crypto Games Casino
Earn Bitcoin Playing Blackjack
Blackjack stands as the crown jewel of casino table games, combining elements of luck, chance, and skill. With the perfect blend of strategic play and a sprinkle of good fortune, you could be the next big winner.
At CryptoGames Casino, Blackjack transcends traditional boundaries, allowing bets with Bitcoin. Our game utilizes four standard decks of 52 cards. Each card holds a specific value—cards 2 through 10 tally up as face value, while jacks, queens, and kings count as 10. Aces are unique, carrying a value of either 1 or 11. The ultimate goal? Craft a hand that totals 21, without tipping over, and outscore the dealer. The holy grail—a Blackjack—happens when you land an Ace coupled with a 10-point card, yielding higher payouts than regular wins, whether it's 6:5, 3:2, or another ratio.
Each round kicks off with the dealer dealing two cards to the player(s) and themselves. Players' cards are laid bare, while the dealer conceals one. Players make the first move, choosing to hit, split, double down, surrender, or stand.
Let's break down these actions:
- Hit - Opt for an extra card.
- Split - Available when you're dealt a pair. This action separates the pair into two individual hands, which are then played separately.
- Double Down - An option for any hand, allowing you to double your initial wager in exchange for a single additional card.
- Surrender - Forfeit half your bet and bow out of the hand. Ideal when facing slim odds (like a 16 vs 10 scenario).
- Stand - Conclude your turn without drawing more cards.
Be aware, Blackjack rules can vary, with certain nuances favoring either the player or the house, depending on the casino.
While playing Blackjack is an exhilarating experience, it's crucial to grasp the house rules and arm yourself with fundamental strategies to enhance your winning prospects.
