Cryptologic online casinos offer Blackjack according to Atlantic City rules.
Otherwise called Atlantic City Blackjack, this version offers some of the
fairest odds and payouts of the many blackjack derivatives out there.
One of the characteristic differences of Cryptologic's Blackjack from some other
blackjack games is that re-splitting of pairs is not allowed. Initial pairs are
allowed to be split once, but that's it. In terms of what this does to the
Casinos Edge, many players say it is negligible. However, serious players will
take as much as they can get. Splitting two hands brings the edge
down to .58%, while being allowed to split three hands brings it down to .55%
and splitting four hands brings it down to .548%.
Otherwise, playing Atlantic
City Blackjack at a Cryptologic online casino will give you the most
advantageous rules in getting the House Edge Down, including having the dealer
stand on all 17's and permitting doubling down on all cards, including split
hands. Surrender is not allowed, which would be a big plus considering this rule
helps bring the House Edge down to .24% or .39%. No other software developers
offer Surrender on their Atlantic City Blackjack, so this is considered
standard.
The dealer is allowed to check his card if showing a ten value card.
Therefore, Insurance is allowed, and as customary pays 2 to 1. Blackjack pays 3
to 2. Games are played with eight standard fifty-two card decks, with all
cards being reshuffled into the deck after every hand. The betting interface is
very realistic and consists of a Settings tab, Log viewer and standard playing
buttons, such as Deal, Hit, Stand, Double Down, Split, Re-Bet and Pull Bet.
Depending on the casino, Cryptologic's Atlantic City Blackjack will accept bets
as little as £1 and up to £2,500. Chip
denominations are selected with the mouse, and bets are made by clicking in the
betting circle. A turbo option can be selected to speed the rate at which hands
are dealt and played. There are no auto-play features that allow players to set
a predetermined number of hands to be played using default basic blackjack
strategy.
