Blackjack is the hot favorite of gamblers because one can win truckloads of money with their intelligence and skill. Online Blackjack is considered to the most profitable games among all the online casino games, this is clear as new affiliate sites and sites dedicated to live casino games appear daily.

The players are allotted cards. Each card has a different value. In online Blackjack an ace can have the value of 1 or 11. If the value of ace is considered to be 11, it is called soft hand. If the ace value is considered 1, it is called a hard hand. The Jack, King and Queen have 10 points each. The hand total is the sum of the values of cards in that particular hand.

The games aim in Blackjack TV is similar to normal games in that the player has to have a total of 21 or more than that of the dealer. The score should not go over 21, which will make the dealer the winner. The game of online Blackjack starts with the players placing their bets. The dealer gives two cards to the players and to himself. Each player has to place the two cards with their face upwards. Only the dealer has one card facing downwards. This card is called the hole card.

From the very first hand, the players have to decide if they want to stand, hit, split, double, or surrender. If the player wants to stay with the cards he/she has, he or she can call for a stand. If the player wants an extra card, he/she calls for a hit. If the player wants to separate two same cards, he or she calls for a split. By breaking same cards the players can create an extra hand. The player has to place a bet of the same amount on the new hand that the split created. The players are not allowed to surrender in all the online Blackjack games. The players use ‘double’ and double up the amount of the bet and ask for an extra card.
