Traditionally, in Vegas-type casinos, if a card-counter is detected, he is escorted into an office and cheerfully informed that if he ever returns they will break both his legs. I was wondering if Indian casinos have continued this tradition. For those unaware, card-counting, based on the “tens strategy”, beats the house at blackjack.

When you want to play at online casinos, there are a lot of things you should know first. For one, you need to determine which online casino is better than the other. You have to look into the game selection and the services that it offers. Next, you should know what software is being used to run the casino. Checking into the software application of casinos will allow you to know whether you will be provided with a great gaming experience or not. Lastly, you have to determine which casino offers the best bonuses. When a casino provides you with great bonuses, this will allow you to cash in more than what you have deposited.
In order for you to gather information regarding online casinos, you should read reviews. While you can read reviews in magazines and newspapers, the reviews that are being offered over the Internet are more complete. Other than reviews on top online casinos, you will also be provided with other data. Examples would be casino checklists, beginners’ guide to online gambling, current casino news, and best online casinos. There are a lot of websites which put up this kind of information; and one of these is Online Casinos Directory. This is a site which offers more than just reviews on top casinos over the web. It also supplies a guide for casino games. Through this guide, you will know how to play your favorite game online.
Other than a guide on online casino games, Online Casinos Directory also supplies a guide on various casino bonuses. The bonuses that are being provided to online players are different from what are being offered in casinos based on land. These are provided in order to welcome interested gamblers, and to keep them returning. There are also bonuses which serve as rewards to those who decide to put in their initial deposit. When you return to a certain online casino, you will be given an incentive for doing so. When you are offered with an online casino bonus, you have to know that there are specific requirements which you have to comply with.
One of the greatest bonuses that a casino can offer to its players is one which allows you to play without making a deposit. If you do not have money and you want to play blackjack online, this type of bonus is appropriate for you. Since you are given the privilege to play without depositing money, you have to abide with certain rules. One of these is putting in higher wagers. When you want to withdraw money, the amount that you can get is also limited. If ever you win, you may be allowed to cash it out. However, you have to use this money as deposit for another game. Since you are able to deposit your own money already, there are new requirements to meet. But the best thing is that you can get a higher amount from your winnings.
Other than this online casino bonus, there are still several other bonuses which you might want to know more of. In order for you to get the most detailed information, you should check out onlinecasinosdir.com.

Real casinos provide Black Jack players with different sets of rules plus different bonuses. Can on-line casinos compete with real casinos in respect of game variety? Normally, every on-line casino has Black Jack with its sets of rules. For example, casinos with Microgaming and Cryptologic software offer players up to eight different variations of rules. However, some on-line casinos offer various special games based on Black Jack rules. You will find interesting to familiarize and try these games, moreover the advantages of casinos compared to them are very weak.
Double exposure Black Jack
Double exposure Black Jack is available in Microgaming and RTG software on-line casinos. In this kind of Black Jack both cards of a dealer are dealt face up to compensate this advantage of the player, the dealer wins all ties except for Black Jack. The rest of the game based on the rules of Black Jack, and variations may exist in respect of the number of splits, combinations allowed to double, etc.
The advantage of casinos with the standard rules of this game is about 0.7%.
Pontoon
Pontoon is available in Cryptologic and RTG software on-line casinos. In contrast to ordinary Black Jack the player has much more opportunities to double plus the rule of five cards with double paying works out, on the other hand, the dealer’s cards are dealt face down therefore indefiniteness rises and ties are not in the favour of the dealer. More detailed rules of the game are the following: The is played with pack of 52 cards, the nominal value of cards is the same as in Black Jack. The hierarchy of combinations is the following:
1. Pontoon ( the same as Black Jack);
2. Five cards combination (five cards without bust);
3. Combination of cards comprising not more than 21 points, the closer to 21 the better
4. Bust (more than 21 points);
The dealer deals two cards face up to the player and two cards to himself face down with pontoon check. The game of the dealer is the same as his game in Black Jack: he should take up to 17 and remain on 5 cards or over 16 (except for soft 17).
The player has more opportunities: splits are left enabling to one re-split. An opportunities arises for doubling with any quantity of cards, at the same time, the player can continue to buy even after doubling. In contrast to Black Jack the player should buy a card (double) while having not less than 15 points.
As in Black Jack after taking cards the player and dealer compare hands. If the player has extra cards, he loses the game automatically. Pontoon or Five cards combination in case of gain is paid 2:1, other winning combinations are paid 1:1. In case of a tie the dealer wins. There is no insurance or by-bets.
With the game based on optimal strategy which is simpler than that of Black Jack. The total advantage of on-line casinos is 0.17%.
Caribbean 21
Caribbean 21 is so far available only in RTG software on-line casinos. The is played with one pack of cards, in contrast to Black Jack:
1. Ace is always one point;
2. The combination of an ace and two 10 points cards is called Caribbean 21 and is paid 3:2 to the player for the primary bet (but not for the double bets);
3. The player can double on any cards as many times as he wants after doubling it is possible to buy several times;
4. The player can split any two cards;
5. The player can give in at any time at the same time losing the half of available bets;
6. The dealer wins all ties;
7. Initially the dealer deals himself only one card face up;

With the game based on optimal strategy advantage of on-line casinos is not more than 0.2%.
Spanish 21
Spanish 21 is so far available only in RTG software on-line casinos.
The game is played with six-eight “Spanish” packs of cards, 10 are removed from a pack (only 10s, queens, jacks and kings are left). As the less quantity of 10s in a pack is in favour the dealer, the player has the following bonuses:
1. 21 of the player always wins, as well as Black Jack of the player beats Black Jack of the dealer;
2. The player can double with any number of cards;
3. The player can double and buy after split of aces;
4. The player can give in after doubling;
5. 5-cards 21s are paid 3:2;
6. 6-cards 21s are paid 3:1;
7. 6-7-8 and 7-7-7 different suits are paid 3:2, of the same suits are paid 2:1 and spades are paid 3:1;
With the game based on optimal strategy advantage of on-line casinos is not more than 0.4%.
Super Fun 21
Super Fun 21 can only be found in RTG and Microgaming software on-line casinos. The game has a range of positive differences from standard Black Jack in favour of the player, to compensate it casinos pay Black Jack to the player 1:1. The difference is the following:
1. The player can split up to 4 times;
2. It is possible to double with any number of cards, including after split;
3. After split of aces it is possible to split, buy and double them;
4. The player can give in at any time of the game for a half of a bet (including after split);
5. 20 or less points of the player with 6 cards win automatically if there were no splits;
6. 21 points with 5 cards are paid 2:1 if there were no splits;
7. Black Jack always wins;
8. Black Jack of diamonds is paid 2:1 (all the rest are paid 1:1)
With the game based on these rules the advantage of on-line casinos is not more than 0.75%.
Black Jack Switch
Black Jack Switch is available in PlayTech software on-line casinos
In contrast to the standard Black Jack the player makes two similar bets and he gets at the same time two hands, the dealer gets two ordinary cards. The player can switch upper cards between hands (for example in one hand we have 6, 10 and in the other hand we have 10 and 5. We change place of 10 and 5 and we get instead of two bad hands two good hands: 6,5 and 10,10). The basic rules are the same as in standard Black Jack: there is doubling on two cards, one split and it is possible to double after split. To compensate the change advantage of the player the dealer gets the following bonuses:
1. The dealer does not make Black Jack check;
2. Black Jack of the player is paid 1:1;
3. If the dealer gathers 22, it is considered a tie against any not fired hand of the player, except for Black Jack;
The basic strategy of the game is rather complicated, however, if the player follows these rules, he diminishes the advantage of on-line casinos to 0.05%.

Online casino players know that the latter ones offer various bonuses. “Free-load” looks attractive, however, are they really useful these bonuses? Are they profitable for gamblers? The answer to this question depends on a lot of conditions. Mathematics will help us answer this question.
Let’s begin with an ordinary bonus on deposit: you transfer $100 and obtain $100 more, which it will be possible to get having staked $3000. It is a typical example of bonus on the first deposit. The sizes of a deposit and bonus can be different, as well as the required stake rates, but one thing remains unchangeable – the amount of the bonus is accessible for withdrawal after the required wager. Till this moment it is impossible to withdraw money, as a rule.
If you are going to play in the online casino for a long time and rather insistently, this bonus will help you, it can really be considered free money. If you play slots with 95% pay-outs, a bonus will allow you to make on average extra 2000 $ of stakes ($100/(1-0,95)=$2000), after that the amount of bonus will be over. But there can be complications, for example, if you simply want to have a look at a casino, without playing for a long time, if you prefer roulette or other games, forbidden by casinos’ rules for winning back bonuses. In the majority of casinos you won’t be allowed to withdraw money or will simply return a deposit, if a wager is not made on the games allowed in the casino. If you are keen on roulette or blackjack, and a bonus can be won back only by playing slots, make the required $3000 of stakes, in the course of 95% of pay-outs you will lose on average $3000*(1-0,95)=$150. As you see, you not only lose the bonus but also take out of your pocket $50, in this case it is better to refuse the bonus. Anyway, if blackjack and poker are allowed for winning back the bonus with a casino’s profit only about 0,5%, so it can be expected that after winning back the bonus you will have $100-3000*0,005=$85 of the casino’s money.
The “sticky” or “phantom” bonuses:
More and more popularity in casinos is gained by “sticky” or “phantom” bonuses – the equivalent of lucky chips in real casinos. The amount of bonus is impossible to withdraw, it must remain on the account (as if it “has stuck” to it), until it is completely lost, or annulled on the first withdrawal of cash means (disappears like a phantom). At first sight it may seem that there is little sense in such a bonus – you won’t get money anyway, but it’s not completely true. If you win, then there is really no point in the bonus, but if you have lost, it may be of use to you. Without a bonus you have lost your $100 and that’s it, bye-bye. But with a bonus, even if it is a “sticky” one, $100 are still on your account, which can help you worm out of the situation. A possibility to win back the bonus in this case is a bit less than 50% (for that you only need to stake the entire amount on the chances in roulette). In order to maximize profits from “sticky” bonuses one needs to use the strategy “play-an-all-or-nothing game”. Really, if you play little stakes, you will slowly and surely lose because of the negative math expectancy in games, and the bonus will only prolong agony, and won’t help you win. Clever gamblers usually try to realize their bonuses quickly – somebody stakes the entire amount on chances, in the hope to double it (just imagine, you stake all $200 on chances, with a probability of 49% you’ll win neat $200, with a probability of 51% you’ll lose your $100 and $100 of the bonus, that is to say, a stake has positive math expectancy for you $200*0,49-$100*0,51=$47), some people use progressive strategies of Martingale type. It is recommended to fix the desired amount of your gain, for example $200, and try to win it, taking risks. If you have contributed a deposit in the amount of $100, obtained “sticky” $150 and plan to enlarge the sum on your account up to $500 (that is to win $250), then a probability to achieve your aim is (100+150)/500=50%, at this the desired real value of the bonus for you is (100+150)/500*(500-150)-100=$75 (you can substitute it for your own figures, but, please, take into account that the formulas are given for games with zero math expectancy, in real games the results will be lower).
The cash back bonus:
There is a seldom encountered variant of a bonus, namely return of loosing. There can be singled out two variants – the complete return of the lost deposit, at this the returned money usually is to be won back like with an ordinary bonus, or a partial return (10-25%) of the loosing over the fixed period (a week, a month). In the first case the situation is practically identical to the case with a “sticky” bonus – if we win, there is no point in the bonus, but it helps in case of losing. Math calculations will be also analogous to the “sticky” bonus and the strategy of the game is similar – we risk, try to win as much as possible. If we are not lucky and we have lost, we can play with the help of the returned money, already minimizing the risk. Partial return of the losing for an active gambler can be regarded as an insignificant advantage of casinos in games. If you play blackjack with math expectancy – 0,5%, then, having made stakes on $10 000, you will lose on average $50. With 20% of return $10 will be given back to you, that is you losing will amount to $40, which is equivalent to the increase in math expectancy up to 0,4% (ME with return=theoretical ME of the game * (1-% of return). However, from the given bonus can also be derived benefit, for that you need to play less. We make only one but a high stake, for example $100, on the same stakes in roulette. In 49% of cases again we win $100, and 51% – we lose $100, but at the end of the month we get back our 20% that is $20. As a result the effect is $100*0,49-($100-$20)*0,51=$8,2. As you see, the stake then has positive math expectancy, but dispersion is big for we’ll be able to play this way rather seldom – once a week or even once a month.
I will allow myself a short remark, slightly digressing from the main subject. On a casino forum one of the gamblers started to claim that tournaments were not fair, arguing it in the following way: “No normal person will ever make a single stake within the last 10 minutes of the tournament, which 3,5-fold surpasses the prize amount ($100), in nomination of a maximal losing, so as to win. What is the point?”
And really does it make sense? The situation is very similar to the variant with return of losing. If a stake has won – we are already in the black. If it has lost – we’ll get a tournament prize of $100. So, the math expectancy of the above-mentioned stake amounting to $350 is: $350*0,49-($350-$100)*0,51=$44. Yes, we may lose $250 today, but shall win $350 tomorrow, and over a year playing every day, we’ll accumulate pretty 365*$44=$16 000. Having solved a simple equation, we’ll find out that stakes up to $1900 are profitable for us! Of course, for such a game we need to have thousands of dollars on our account, but we certainly can’t blame casinos for dishonesty or gamblers for being foolish.
Let’s come back to our bonuses, to the most “free-load” ones- without any deposit. Of late one has been able to notice more and more advertisements promising up to $500 absolutely free of charge, without any deposit. The pattern is the following – you really get $500 on a special account and limited time for play (usually an hour). After an hour you get only the amount of your gain, but still not more than $500. The gain is transferred on a real account where you must win it back, like any bonus, usually having run it 20 times in slots. $500 free –it sounds attractive, but what is the real price of the bonus? Well, the first part – you need to win $500. Using a simplified formula, we can see that probability of winning is 50% (in practice, it is certainly even smaller). The second part – we win the bonus back, you need to stake $10 000 in slots. We don’t know the rates of pay-outs in slots, they are not published by casinos and make up on average about 95% (for various kinds they fluctuate about 90-98%). If we get at an average slot, then till the end of the wager we’ll have $500-10 000*0,05=$0 on our account , not a bad game… If we are lucky to choose a slot with high pay-outs, we can await $500-10 000*0,02=$300. Even though the probability to choose a slot with high pay-outs is 50% (you have listened to the opinions of other gamblers since by random choice this probability will make up hardly more than 10-20%, for there are few generous slots), in this case the value of a generous deposit free bonus amounts to $300*0,5*0,5=$75. Much less than $500, but still not too bad, though we can see that even with the most optimal suppositions the final amount of the bonus has decreased seven-fold.
I hope, this excursion into mathematics domain of bonuses will be of use to gamblers – if you want to win, you simply need to think a little and make calculations.

It’s easy to find an online casino with live dealer blackjack. Blackjack is one of the most popular casino games, so it is understandable that it was one of the games used in pioneering the latest online gambling rage. The concept of playing blackjack online is not a dry one. It is actually a very exciting way to play the world-famous game. Instead of just playing with a computer, online casinos now allow you to play with a live dealer, even as you sit back and relax at home.
Blackjack is a very exciting game, made even more so by high stakes and the suspenseful motion of the game. The beauty of a blackjack game lies in the very action of the cards being dealt one by one. The climax of the game, wherein the dealer reveals his second card, is the part that also provides the thrill. With the fully electronic versions of the blackjack game as offered by traditional online casinos, the mechanical movement of the cards does not provide any space for suspense and thrill at all. But with the live dealer feature, you will certainly be holding your breath. This is one of the best reasons why the live dealer version of blackjack is by far better than the traditional online version.
Another good thing about playing live dealer blackjack online is the early payouts that are offered by some live dealer casinos. VueTec Ltd. has come up with the early payout option for blackjack, thus making the game even more enticing for players the world over. By offering payouts at different parts of the game, players have more chances of taking home some winnings even without winning the full game. The early payout offered amount depends on the probabilities that surround the outcome of the game, based on the cards that have been revealed so far. If players feel that there is a very good chance of losing to the dealer because the dealer’s face up card potentially looks like half of a blackjack, they can simply exit the game as winners by accepting the offer of the early payouts. With the early payout option, you can easily become a winner.
One more reason why you should play at online casinos with live dealer blackjack instead of at traditional online casinos is that there is much controversy surrounding online blackjack minus the live dealer. Since these games are completely computer-generated and simulated, there is no guarantee that the results are genuine and are not programmed. There is no way to tell whether the game is not rigged, and blackjack happens to be a game that is quite easy to manipulate, since its very essence lies in the dealing of cards, which can easily be programmed. Thus, for a game like blackjack, the live dealer feature makes a world of difference.
Aside from the excitement, the early payouts, and the security of the game, playing live dealer blackjack online is also s must because of the extra bonuses and promotions that can increase the number of chances that you have of winning in different games. The bonuses and promotions can win you extra credits that you can use to play more. More games equate to more chances of winning, naturally.
If you are looking to play some blackjack, do it the live dealer way. Log on to an online casino with live dealer blackjack and play as if you are in a real casino. High stakes, guaranteed winning chances, and excitement, all rolled into one.

Blackjack game at online casinos makes you believe that some of the gambling games are meant to win easy money. Popular as one of the easiest games to play at a casino, Blackjack requires little understanding of some basic rules and betting ideas. The most important factor to play online casino Blackjack is the selection of right table.
Blackjack, also popular with the name of Twenty-One’, is an exciting game to make big time profits out of gambling. For the first time casino-goers, Blackjack is an ideal game to play, considering the lower level of complexity it offers as compared to other games. The discussion below should inform you about basic rules of how to play blackjack.
Objective of Blackjack
The former name of the game should make more sense to understand the objective of playing Blackjack. To say it in a simple way, the objective of a Blackjack player is to obtain a hand higher than the dealer’s hand, without passing the value of 21, which is popularly referred to as busting. Once you cross 21 or bust, you lose the game.
Choosing the Right Table
Blackjack table should be selected on the basis of betting limits. One can find Blackjack tables with betting limits from as low as $1 to as high as $5,000. While selecting the betting limit, make sure that you are confident to play and have enough money to accommodate a beat. In order to learn the game, you can find casinos to play free Blackjack online.
Value of Different Cardsbn
The cards from 2-10 have the value equal to their face value. Interestingly, the face cards also have the value of 10. One or eleven can be assigned to the value of an ace. It is important to mention here that suits of the card have no role to play in Blackjack.
How Does It Start?
The session of Blackjack at online casino begins when all the players place their individual bets using the chips. After this, the dealer distributes two cards to each player and keeps two cards with himself. While the cards with each player are hidden, one of the cards of the dealer is revealed to the players.
On the basis of cards possessed and one car displayed by the dealer, each player moves ahead in the game. Here are some of the important moves a player can make:
Stand: No more cards are demanded by the player.
Hit: The player can demand for another card from the dealer.
Split: The player can split the same value cards into two hands and then a second card is dealt onto each hand.
Double Down: This move allows the player to double his or her original bet.
While you have just read the basics of playing Blackjack, your strategies for the game starts building with practice.

Earning a Living in an Online Casino
There are people who would raise their eyebrows about earning a living by playing blackjack. They would say that earning money is far cry from playing a blackjack game. These people would even argue that when you gamble, you actually place your money at risks. This is different from working. Working requires that you exert effort and you devote your time to a fruitful endeavor and you get money in return; however, you do not place your own money at risk. You will not lose any single cent unlike gambling where you could be a millionaire overnight or you could lose your lifesavings overnight.
But is there a way for you to earn money online by playing blackjack? Experienced and expert blackjack players would argue in the affirmative. There are people who are professional blackjack players. These people are experienced and oftentimes, they have been playing for decades.
You cannot really expect to win steadily when you play blackjack online. You could win if you are a good player. If you are lucky, you could also win a lot of money to sustain you for a few months or years. However, you should not expect to have a steady flow of winnings by playing blackjack online. You still could lose. You could, however, earn enough money for extra cash.
How to Win Money in Online Blackjack
It is undeniable, however, that there are people who truly make a lot of money by playing online. So, if you love blackjack and is considering playing the game online to earn extra cash, then it would be prudent to look for casinos that give a high payout rate for the game. Look for casinos where the blackjack odds are in your favor. This would place you in an advantage – a better position – so you?d have more chances of winning the game.
You should also look for casinos that offer the best blackjack bonuses. Learn to take advantage of these bonuses so you?d win more money. However, do not abuse these bonuses. You might get banned from your favorite casino. Do not join casinos just to get the bonuses. You should also play some games. Therefore, you should choose your casino well. So you would enjoy your game while you earn some extra cash. And if you?re good, you could earn enough cash to live by.
It would be also a great idea to look for casinos that offer affiliate programs. You could also earn some extra cash by promoting a casino or recommending a casino to someone else.

Blackjack was invented in Europe over three hundred years ago. It is still one of the most popular casino games today, even in online casinos. The relative simplicity of the game, combined with the possibility of making strategic choices and the added glamour of its historical nature help explain the popularity of the real casino game, and the added bonus of convenience makes the online blackjack game even more appealing.
Since it is relatively easy to learn, no beginners will possibly shy away from playing this fantastic card game online.
In real casinos, strict rules need to be followed during a Blackjack game. It is important to play according to the etiquette of the casino otherwise the player will get frowned upon and might not get served.
