Top Tips for Playing Blackjack

Online blackjack combines strategy with luck and understanding a few key tips can make each hand feel more in your own control. A solid approach to the game can help you play quickly and effectively. Here are six straightforward ways to improve your blackjack online experience at Ivy Casino:

  • Know When to Stand or Hit: Knowing the basic strategies for when to hit or stand is essential. For example, if your hand totals 12 to 16 and the dealer shows 2 to 6, it’s often best to stand.
  • Utilise Doubling Down Carefully: Doubling down can be useful when you have a strong starting hand, like 10 or 11. However, make sure the dealer’s card makes it a safe choice to avoid quick losses.
  • Manage Your Budget Wisely: Set a clear limit before you start and stick to it. This will mean you enjoy the game without overspending. Budgeting can keep the experience stress-free.
  • Avoid the Insurance Bet: While insurance may seem appealing when the dealer shows an Ace it generally offers lower long-term returns. Stick to your initial bets instead.
  • Practice with Free Games First: Ivy Casino offers demo versions of blackjack, which are perfect for learning or practising strategies before betting real money. Take advantage of this feature to build confidence.
  • Play at a Comfortable Pace: Blackjack doesn’t need to be rushed. Take your time between hands to make decisions, ensuring you’re playing thoughtfully each round.

Free vs. Real-Money Online Blackjack

Playing free blackjack and real-money blackjack each have unique benefits and let you enjoy the game in different ways. Free blackjack gives you the chance to practise strategies and explore game rules without any risk. This is a great option for beginners, as it allows you to understand the game fully before placing real bets. Free play also lets experienced players try out new approaches without affecting their budget.

In contrast, real-money blackjack adds excitement with the possibility of actual wins. Real bets can heighten your thrill and make each hand feel more engaging. Real-money games often include additional features like bonuses which give you an even greater chance of a large payout.

Blackjack FAQs

Here, we answer some of the most common questions we get on our blackjack games. From understanding the rules to exploring different game options, these FAQs cover the basics and more. They’ll help you to learn how to get started with blackjack:

What is the main goal in blackjack?

The goal in blackjack online  is to get a hand value as close to 21 as possible without going over. You’re playing against the dealer and if your total is closer to 21 than theirs, you win. If you go over 21, you lose the round automatically.

Can I play blackjack on my mobile at Ivy Casino?

Yeah, Ivy Casino’s blackjack games are fully optimised for mobile devices. You can play from a smartphone or tablet with the same high-quality graphics and smooth gameplay. This means you can enjoy blackjack wherever you are without any drop in experience.

How do I win in blackjack?

To win in blackjack online, you need a hand closer to 21 than the dealer’s without going over. You can also win if the dealer goes over 21 which is called a “bust.” Your decisions on hitting, standing, or doubling down can help improve your chances.

What is a “push” in blackjack?

A push happens when both you and the dealer have hands of the same value. In this case, it’s a tie, and you don’t win or lose money. Your original bet is returned and you can play again without any loss.

Are there betting limits for blackjack at Ivy Casino?

Yes, Ivy Casino provides blackjack tables with a range of betting limits. We have options for both low-stakes players and high rollers. Check each table’s details to find the right betting range for you.

What is “insurance” in blackjack?

Insurance is a side bet that protects you if the dealer has a blackjack. If the dealer’s face-up card is an Ace, you can take insurance which pays out if the dealer’s other card is a 10-value card. It can help recover your bet if the dealer wins with blackjack.

Can I play free blackjack before betting real money?

Of course, Ivy Casino offers free blackjack options so you can play without betting real money. This lets you practise and learn the game’s rules before placing real bets.
