As a staple of casino gameplay throughout history, blackjack has a small learning curve with a potential for big wins for any casino game advocate. Understanding blackjack rules is crucial for the best gaming experience. The goal of blackjack is to hit the closest point total to 21 without going over for either the player or deal, which brings along excitement and a layer of strategy involved in gambling techniques.
Beyond the extensive collection of Blackjack games available on Stake, there is a variety of casino games available including slots, live casino, baccarat, roulette, pachinko and many more for the dedicated Stake Casino bettor.
One major advantage of playing blackjack online is the relatively small house edge, improving the RTP for the player and maximising the winning potential for as many players as possible.

The house edge is available in all casino games in the description tab (i.e. Edge: 0.57%) to provide full clarity of the house edge for each game, regardless of provider.

How to Play Blackjack Online
With its simple rules, easy-to-understand payouts and high-stakes action, our Blackjack range is one of the most popular in casino games in the world, and is a favorite game amongst both amateurs and high rollers.
Blackjack is played between two players, each trying to beat the dealer's hand by getting closer to 21 than his opponent without going over. The object of the game is to get as close to 21 as possible while your opponents do not exceed 21.
In Blackjack, cards are broken down as natural (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), face cards (Jack, Queen, King) which are treated as a 10 as well as Aces can count as 1 or 11. The special dual property of Aces is useful if the player or dealer exceeds a count of 21 if the Aces value is 11, but remains under 21 if Ace's value is 1.
The blackjack dealer deals two cards to each player/hand and the dealer, with the dealer turning one card face up. The player can choose to hit (draw another card to add to their total) or stand (sit on their hand and allow the dealer to play). Depending on the rules of their particular blackjack game the player might have additional options that can protect their losses from blackjack or multiply their hands based on their current cards.
If the player hits blackjack (21), they will likely win outright and force the dealer to show their hand, otherwise, they can 'stand' on their current count aiming to be as close to 21 as possible. The dealer is then forced to draw cards until they get a count of at least 17 or they go 'bust' by exceeding 21.
In games with multiple players or hands, the players with hands weaker than the dealers lose out.
Blackjack comes in many variations and depending on the rule set the betting options may vary. Blackjack gameplay mechanics may include, but are not limited to:
Insurance: A side-bet offered if the dealer's 'up' card is an Ace - providing insurance in case the dealer's hand is a 'blackjack' (Ace + 10 or Face card)
Double Down: Double down occurs after the first turn of play and it provides the player with an opportunity to double their initial bet based on the current strength of their hand.
Split Pair: If the two cards the player receives are the same count, they may have the option to 'split' the hand into two and receive additional cards for each hand. Splitting is a useful strategy in blackjack to put the player in an advantageous position (Aces) or to prevent a bad position (8s).
Pair Side-bets: The player makes these side bets at the blackjack table for an extra payout if the initial hand dealt results in a pair. Bets are made before hands are dealt with the odds and payout varying depending on the number of decks used and type of pairs.
Mixed pair: Cards have the same value but are different suits and colours
Coloured Pair: Cards have the same value, are different suits but share the same colour
Perfect Pair: Cards have the same value and suit. This is the most unlikely scenario with the highest payout,
3:2 Payout: Hit blackjack to get an extra payout - for every 2 units bet you receive 3 units in return. This type of Blackjack payout ensures a low house edge and high RTP for the player.
21+3 Side Bet: This popular side bet combines Blackjack with Poker in which the first two cards in the player's hand and the face-up card from the dealer match a three-card poker hand
Flush: Three cards in the same suit
Straight: Three cards of consecutive values, with Aces being either high or low
Three of a kind: Three cards of the same value or face (Any suit or colour)
Straight flush: Three cards of consecutive values that have matching suits
Suited Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same value/face card and the same suit. This is the rarest combination and can lead to major payouts.
Blackjack is a simple game but the variety of betting options during live gameplay makes it one of the most fun and engaging casino games available on Stake.
