How to Play Live Webcam Blackjack

By: Bob Tharten Webcam Blackjack is perhaps one of the most challenging yet most popular of all online casino games, besides Poker. The point of playing Blackjack is not just about getting blackjack on the first hand or on any hand for that matter. It’s about betting wisely and deciding for yourself if you should take a chance and play on or to fold. It’s about playing the perfect game based on the cards you were dealt, just like in real life. Black Jack rules can be kind of confusing when you start, and can quickly become second nature once you get a good head start. There are many things to consider when playing this game. Each player is playing fro themselves, they are not playing against the other players at the table. That’s important thing to recognize, when your playing at a live blackjack table and find yourself with others at the table. You get a better chance of seeing the cards that are dealt when other players are at the table. If you are playing by yourself, then you won’t get a chance to see the face cards played. As you can imagine this increases your chances a little but. If someone at your table loses then the game continues. On the other hand if they win, you get to see them collect a big win!

Here’s how live black jack is played. The dealer places one card face down and then one card face up. Never show your face down card until the very end. The dealer will show their cards so you can see all along what they have. The face value of the cards are pretty simple, the number 2 through the number 10 are face value at what they are, the jack, Queen and Kings are worth ten points. The Aces are worth either a one or an Eleven. You can chose which one is which. That is one benefit to this game is that if you get an Ace and any other card you cannot go bust or lose because you can use a 1 or an eleven. It makes it easier for you to get a blackjack. The winner is determined by who has the better hand, you or the dealer. If for whatever reason both players have the same exact card values then no one wins (delaer and player) it is called a push.

Once your initial hand is dealt then you have 4 options that you can chose from. The first option you can do is to "Hit". This pretty much means that you want another card. The next option you can do is to "Stand", which means that you don’t want another card, and you will be playing the cards you currently have. Another option is to "double down" which means you can double the wager and then take one more card and then stand. You can also Split, this is when you double the bets because you are splitting the cards you have in your initial hand.
