Blackjack IG - Game Description
There’s a reason Blackjack is such an iconic casino game. Going by several names like “pontoon” or simply “21,” the game is easy to get a feel for, but hard to master. People have spent hours learning tricks, how to leverage their odds, and thinking of ways to win, but sometimes, it just comes down to how the cards are played. Pull up your virtual chair and get a glimpse of the gameplay space and you’ll instantly recognize the fundamentals of Blackjack.
Your chips and wager sit in front of you while the virtual dealer deals the cards. The smooth interface and easy-to-follow flow of the game make it an enjoyable experience whether you’re new to Blackjack or you’re an experienced card shark. Buttons with actions such as “hit,” “stand,” “split,” and “double down” are clear and the clean user interface makes the whole game a joy to play through.
How to Play Blackjack
Once you learn the basics, blackjack is a pretty easy game to get a feel for. At the start of the game, players make their bet and are then dealt two cards and are given options to “hold,” “hit,” “double down,” or “split.” Players play against the dealer who also has two cards, one of which is visible to the player. The aim of the game is to score higher than the dealer or reach 21 as the sum of your cards. Need more in-depth strategies for blackjack?

Tips and Tricks
Tips and Tricks
Bet What You Can Afford: It might seem tempting to bet it all on one hand, but betting within your means is the smart way to play. Splitting your money into several smaller increments allows you to win a little at a time, and makes it easy to recoup losses if you lose a little at a time.
Play Smart: When a dealer is showing a 7, it might be best to stand if you have a pair of 9s. Considering that Jacks, Queens, and Kings count as “10,” there are 4x as many 10 value cards in a deck. If a dealer is showing a 7, it’s likely they’re at 17.
When to Double Down: When you have a “hard 11.” (A hand without an Ace). Doubling down has to be done before you initially “hit.”
Choose Your Tables: No matter how experienced you are at blackjack, there’s always an element of luck involved. Set a limit before you start, and don’t go over it. Different tables have different betting limits. If you’re just getting started, consider low-limit tables to get a feel for the game. Knowing when to walk away when you’re ahead will keep you feeling like a winner.
