RTG Online Casino Games - Las Vegas Style Blackjack
by Mike Harrison, Strategy and Games Writer

Real Time Gaming online casinos offer Las Vegas style Blackjack as well as several "21 Games", which are various offshoots of Blackjack, including Pontoon, Super 21, Caribbean 21, Face Up 21 and Match Play 21. We shall first talk about their standard blackjack offering and revisit the various hybrids later.

The standard rules you should know about for Real Time Gaming blackjack are that Doubling Down is allowed on any two hands, splitting hands is permitted, split Aces only get one card dealt to each new hand, and the Dealer hits on a Soft 17.

In regards to Splitting, only the first two cards are permitted to be split. In other words, there are no re-splits. Although this raises the House Edge a bit, the fact that players are permitted to split Aces helps to balance the Edge back out. However, allowing the dealer to hit on a Soft 17 is more favorable to the Casinos Edge. The dealer hits on any total of 16 or less and must stand on any total of Seventeen or more.

Another rule to be aware of is that Blackjack does indeed pay 3:2, but only on the player's initially dealt hand. Surrendering is not allowed but taking Insurance is, which pays out the standard 2:1 if taken and the dealer is holding Blackjack. All other winning hands pay even money.

The playing interface is very fast and user-friendly, and employs striking graphics.  Chip denominations range from 1 to 500, and betting limits are displayed on the table, just as they would in a real casino. Split, Double, Stand, Hit and ReBet buttons are prominently displayed and light up when they become viable options. Keep in mind that the Rebet button places the bet and commences the next deal. So, only make sure you press the rebet button if you are certain you want to play another hand.

A great thing about Real Time Gaming Software is that is offers an AutoPlay feature allowing bettors to program stopping times based on a number of factors, including balance amounts and/or win amounts. Gaming controls are highly customizable, allowing players to see the online casino in full screen mode, include dealer voices and ambient sounds, as well as a change the card speed.
