 Microgaming BJ Software Review (Full Review)
Here we present Black Jack game that you can find in Blackjack Ballroom and other MicroGaming online casinos. 1 Deck is used and you can easily keep track of the cards via card counting. However, the cards are reshuffled after every hand. The house edge is about 0.1%. Blackjack Ballroom Casino also offers a multi-hand Black Jack game with the same rules, except 5 decks instead of 1. This increases a house edge to 0.57%.

Today major Microgaming-powered casinos offers the following extra versions of Blackjack: Vegas Strip, Vegas Downtown, Atlantic City Blackjack, European, Spanish, High Limit and Tripple Sevens Blackjack (click the links on the left menu bar to see corresponding rules and optimal strategies for each of the games).

In basic BJ version the dealer must stand on A-6 which is standard. Doubling down is allowed only on 9, 10 and 11, but not allowed after you split a pair though. You may split pairs to 2 hands only; split Aces may be re-hit. The dealer does not check for Blackjack until all players are finished, so if the dealer does have a Blackjack then all players will lose the total amount they've bet (called European hole card rule) which is very advantageous for the casino. No surrender is available. Insurance is offered if you think the dealer might have a Blackjack.

Keep general strategy while playing Microgaming Blackjack. Note that starting from May 2003 more and more MGS casinos offering new enhanced Viper games. With a new Viper software you can play in Expert Mode and get help when you should draw... Some other casinos offering similar MicroGaming Blackjack games (new Viper software): BlackjackBallroom,  Golden Tiger (up to £/€/$250 free) and Crazy Vegas (£/€/$1,000 free & 60 minutes to play and keep winings). General Microgaming blackjack strategy ensures good odds but you should look at the more detailed strategy cards for each of the individual blackjack game variation to have the best payouts while playing online, observe 10 games and corresponding strategies on BJ 101.

 Slotland Casino Black Jack Games (Full Review)
Slotland Casino offers a unique variant of online blackjack game where players are dealt 3 hands to play with but cannot play each hand separately, so after drawing or doubling down a new card is added to all of player's hands. Slotland casino pays out 3 to 1 for a Blackjack even if the dealer has a Blackjack!

4 decks are used and the cards are reshuffled each round which makes it quite impossible to keep track of the cards. You can bet up to $20 on each of your hands. Since you always are dealt 3 hands the max betting limit is $60. The actual house edge is very low, just about 0.2%!

The best strategy in this game will be playing the max bet ($20) on hand 1 and the minimum bet ($1) on hands 2 and 3. The players should focus entirely on hand 1 and let the other 2 win or lose, without much worry. Moreover, for extra 10% of a basic $20 bet ($2 side bet), you will have a chance to win a large progressive jackpot. Slotland now offers exclusive 100% bonus with your first deposit up to $100.
 Short Review Of Playtech BJ Software (Full Review)
PlayTech online casinos (Casino Tropez, Europa Casino,..) offer a blackjack variant called Blackjack Switch, which allows the you to trade cards between two hands. You make 2 bets of equal size and are allowed to switch the second card dealt to each hand. If played correctly this can lower the house edge to 0.05%! Despite the fact that PlayTech casinos use 6 decks (thus limiting your ability to count cards), you would hardly find an online casino offering such a good blackjack odds.

First, you must make 2 bets of the same size. You may switch the 2nd card dealt to each hand. The dealer hits on soft 17 (Ace-6). Doubling down is allowed on any first two cards. You can double down after you split pairs which is better than what land based casinos offer. You may split pairs to 2 hands only. The dealer does not check for Blackjack until all players are finished. A dealer total of 22 will push against any player total of 21 or less but a player's "Blackjack" will beat a dealer's 22. See also Blackjack rules variations and how they influence the odds.

 CryptoLogic (InterCasino) BJ Game (Full Review)
With InterCasino's blackjack you can play only one hand at once in basic version or play Multi-Hand blackjack game. There is also a multi-player version of blackjack. The dealer stands on all 17's (Ace-6). Doubling down is allowed in this version on any first 2 cards and you can double down after you split pairs. You may split pairs to two hands only in this game. Split a pair of Aces receive only one more card. When the dealer's face-up card is a 10 or an Ace he peaks under the face-down card to show you if he has a "Blackjack".

InterCasino uses 8 decks which is making card counting quite impossible. However, there is a Single deck version too. The table limits are ranged from $5 to $300. I.e. you cannot bet less than $5 per hand which simply makes your bankroll disappear much faster and makes this blackjack game suitable for a high roller player. Nevertheless, InterCasino is the biggest online casino (over 1,000,000 players are welcomed) that offers regular bonuses each month (up to $100) and good Comp program giving you 1 - 3 points per each $10 bet. Frequent tournaments gives you a chance to win extra cash playing your favorite game on a monthly basic.
