How to Play OddsOn Blackjack
The cards are dealt from a deck of cards called a shoe containing 4, 6 or 8 standard decks (depending on blackjack version)
of 52 cards (no jokers) that are re-shuffled after each hand.
The Player competes against the dealer and
the basic rule of all blackjack games is to get a hand higher than the dealer without going over 21 or making the
dealer hand's bust. If the face value of
your 2 cards is 21, you have a Blackjack (also called "natural blackjack", e.g. Ace and a face or 10 card).
If you have a blackjack or
if the dealer's cards are lower than yours you win!
OddsOn's 8 decks blackjack version makes card counting quite
impossible. You can try 4 deck European and Progressive games to benefit from card counting but it's
almost useless, providing the cards are shuffled after every hand.
The default table betting limits are from $2 to $200. The progressive version has the same limites and $1 side bet that
can bring you a 5-figure jackpot - at the time of writing this review the progressive jackpot standed at $194,900 level!
The house edge becomes negative when the jackpot reach about $180.000,
so it's time to hunt for the big one.
