Different Types of Blackjack
The rule of Blackjack will vary depending where in the world you are playing it. In Europe, they play a slightly different game than they do in North America. There are a few main differences in the games, but they are quite significant.
One of the biggest differences is the amount of cards that the dealer takes on the initial hand. In North America, the dealer will always take two cards; one card face up and the other face down (called the ‘hole’ card). While in Europe the dealer will only take one card face up on the initial deal.
If you like to play Blackjack then it is always good to try different variations of the game to see which one you prefer. While it may be difficult to do this in many casinos in place like Las Vegas, it can be done by playing at one of the bigger online casinos.
Luxury Casino has over 40 different Blackjack games available to play. So you will be able to play the North American version, with two dealer cards, and the European game with only one card. You will be able to find several variations of each.
If you have ever played at a real Blackjack table you will have experienced that it can be quite an intimidating place at times, especially for the novice player that doesn’t really understand the best strategies to play. But the main benefit of playing online is that you can play at a table by yourself, with nobody shouting at you if they think you have made a wrong decision.
You can also play at low limit tables, which is often very hard to do in real casinos, as many will have nothing under a $25 minimum, which is not a very attractive environment for those that are learning.
