Blackjack’s Rich Background
This century’s card game is the evolution of the old game called Vingt-et-Un, which translates from French to “twenty one”. Although the true origins of this popular casino game are largely unknown, the first iterations of the game as we know it today were first played in French casinos during the 1700s.
The first known reference to the game was made by the Spanish author, Miguel de Cervantes, in a short story he penned. The years that followed saw the game’s popularity grow and it gradually spread throughout the world, evolving with the times until it became the Blackjack we know these days.
The goal of the game has however remained the same. To win, the player needs to have a hand of 21 or as close as possible and their hand must be greater than the value of the dealer’s hand without exceeding 21!
Mummys Gold Blackjack Basics
Unlike the frivolous fun of Pokies, Blackjack is not strictly a game of chance. Although highly entertaining and relatively easy to learn, Blackjack requires some level of skill and strategy – especially if you’re in it to win it!
Players are dealt two cards during the opening round. If the sum of your hand does not exceed 21, you can decide the best way forward with your next move. You can either split your hand, double down or make other classic moves. Once you’ve settled on your decision and placed your bet, the dealer will reveal their card and the winner will be revealed.
Online Blackjack Tips
One of the reasons why Blackjack is arguably one of the world’s favourite online casino games is that it allows the player some level of control. You can’t rely on Lady Luck alone and there are various tips and strategies that you can use to improve your chances of beating the dealer. Use these helpful tips to take your online Blackjack gaming experience to a whole new level:
Always split Aces and 8s.
If the dealer has anything other than a 2 and you have an Ace, double down. Be sure to use the same tactic if you have a hand that is valued at 10 or 11 points.
Be sure to stand and play your hand as you have it if you find yourself in the following scenarios:
- Your hand is worth 17 and the dealer has a 7;
- If you have a 12 and the dealer has a 5 or 6;
- If your total is 13 and the dealer has a 2 or 3.
