How to Play Free Blackjack Online

Since it was first introduced in online casinos in the late nineties, free blackjack online has become nothing short of a cultural phenomenon. It offers better odds than many other internet games and is popular with international players of all ages. One of the best ways to learn how to play this fun and entertaining game is to play free blackjack online.

When you play free blackjack online, you can see for yourself how the rules govern this simple game. Cards 2 through to 10 retain their face value while 10, Jack, Queen and King are valued at ten each. An Ace is valued at eleven if it is used to make a soft blackjack hand or one in a hard hand. A two card hand that makes 21 is known as a natural and automatically wins the free blackjack game. If a player's hand or a dealer's hand goes over the desired total of 21, it goes bust and the free blackjack game is lost.

Free blackjack online begins when a dealer gives himself and the player two cards each. The player's cards are dealt face up whereas one of the dealer's cards is dealt face down. If the dealer's up card is an Ace, the player can make an insurance bet which will protect him and award him some of his bet back if the dealer has a natural hand. However, this is usually more common in a live blackjack game than in free internet blackjack.

To win a hand in free blackjack online, a player can elect to draw another card (hitting) or to decline another card (standing). He can also split pairs to play multiple free internet blackjack hands and double his original bet after his first two cards and draw a third card.
