Playing Video Blackjack / 11. June 2006
Blackjack is just one of a number of games that can be played on video machines. These machines often house other games such as poker, keno and slots.

Playing video blackjack is basically the same as regular blackjack but the rules will vary from machine to machine and this can greatly affect the outcome of your game.

The biggest advantage of playing video blackjack is that it is possible to make much smaller wagers, for example many machines accept 25 cent wagers. This allows novice gamblers to practice and not worry about parting with too much cash. The downside is that machines generally pay out player blackjacks at even money instead of 3-2.

The video blackjack machine uses a random number generator to deal its cards and generally uses a single deck of cards. This increases the players' advantage, so the video blackjack machine gets round this by varying the rules such as doubling only on 10 or 11.

When choosing a video blackjack machine check the rules to work out roughly what the house edge is. If the machine only gives odds of even money on blackjack, avoid this machine and find one that offers 3-2 instead. If you find one offering 3-2, make sure that you bet even amounts of money. If you bet odd amounts, the machine will often short change you as they round down to the nearest figure.

Even though you are playing against a machine, play with a basic strategy according to the rules of the video blackjack machine. It may seem pointless but a basic strategy will lower the house edge slightly.

If you have a player card make sure to use it as you can rack up points for your play.

Most video blackjack machines uses a single deck of cards and the deck is shuffled after each round. However, if you are adept at card counting, it is possible to find some machines that use multiple decks which are shuffled after half of them have been played. If you find a machine that does this, then this can be an effective strategy to cut down the house edge.

Video blackjack machines are a great stepping stone before playing at a regular blackjack table, as they allow you to practice without gambling too much money and also give you good variations of the rules.
