Online Blackjack is easily the most popular online casino game.  The rules are straightforward and the game is easy to play, the player has a lot of control over the game and compared to other games, the house has a relatively low edge and the player is automatically at an advantage.

This is even truer for online blackjack as opposed to regular casino blackjack because not only does the player have control, they also have control over their environment.  One of the things I find most nerve-wracking and distracting in a real casino are the crowds, the hordes of strangers watching and the pressure that comes along with it.  Some people feel the thrill is stronger in that kind of environment but personally I prefer peace and quiet and the game in my control.

Online blackjack also comes with what I like to call “general online casino benefits” which in addition to being able to play at your pace in your own privacy, you also get the generous casino bonuses that online casinos offer.   It used to be that in order to cashout the bonus you had to meet wagering requirements that didn’t include blackjack but now (thankfully) most online casinos have changed that rule and online blackjack counts towards wagering requirements.

While I don’t like card counting, I have a lot of friends who do and they say that one of the best places to practice out new strategies and skills in by playing online blackjack as naturally the “suspicion factor” is much lower online where casino employees can’t monitor your play as opposed to offline where that’s all they do! ?
