Play Blackjack online

Get as close to 21 as you can without going over and beat the house with chips to bet.

Playing Blackjack online

House Blackjack is played against the bank, which rotates between players rather than being fixed. It seats 2 to 7, and the host decides how many chips everyone starts with.

It is the fastest game to set up and the easiest to explain to somebody who has never played any of this: hit or stand, and do not go over 21.

This is a simplified version: no splitting pairs and no insurance against a dealer blackjack. There is no real-money play; chips are only the game’s scoreboard.

What gets settled before the deal

The host picks how many chips everyone starts with - 200, 500, 1000 or 2000 - and that is everything there is to configure. It is also what decides the length of the game: the fewer the chips, the sooner it ends.

On a public table no host decides this: everyone votes for the option they want and the tally shows on each button.

Your first game

Everyone bets at the same time at the start of the hand, not in turn. The game never stalls waiting for each player to decide their bet, which is the thing that usually makes online blackjack drag.

This is a simplified version: no splitting pairs and no insurance against a dealer blackjack. Hit or stand is the whole repertoire, which is why it is the easiest game here to explain to somebody who has never played any of this.

There is no real-money play and nothing can be bought with money: the chips are the game’s scoreboard and they end with it.
