Play Vegas Strip Blackjack on the Internet
Get all the excitement and fast-paced action of the Vegas Strip when you play Vegas Strip Blackjack in the
Internet casino. Vegas Strip is one of the most popular versions of
Internet blackjack, and with good reason. It is an
Internet casino game that has good rules, good odds, and good chances to win.
Hitting Twenty-One in Vegas Strip Blackjack
As in all versions of
online blackjack, the goal in Vegas Strip Blackjack is to have your hand total higher than the dealer's without going over twenty-one. If you are dealt an Ace and a ten value card (a King, Queen, Jack, or ten), then you have a natural blackjack and automatically win unless the dealer matches your hand with his own blackjack. In that case, the round is a push and your bet is returned to you.
What Makes Vegas Strip Blackjack Different
Internet Vegas Strip Blackjack is played with only 4 decks of cards. This means that the odds of hitting certain cards increase on the single-hand version. That also means that in the Multi-Hand version of Vegas strip blackjack, you have far less odds of hitting certain cards, but can play several different hands to give yourself the advantage.
Splitting Hairs (and Aces)
When you split an ace in Vegas Strip Internet Blackjack, and then receive a 10-value card, it counts as 21 and not Blackjack. This means that if the dealer does have Blackjack the dealer will win the hand. On the other hand, a rule in your favour is that the dealer must stand on any 17. This means that you have a better chance for your 18+ hand of winning.
How To Play Blackjack To Win
Of course, as in any game of Blackjack, the secret is in knowing when to seek another card and when to hold. In traditional blackjack with many decks of cards, the idea of predicting which card has a greater chance of being drawn next is almost impossible. But with a four-deck limit, you can slightly improve your odds by noticing which cards are in play. Of course this will only change the odds slightly so your best bet is to pick a strategy and stick with it. One popular strategy for
playing blackjack on the Internet has you holding at eighteen unless the dealer is showing a fifteen or sixteen. The dealer must draw again and has a high degree of going bust so you would win even with a low card total.
