Online casinos have taken the world by storm and have made it even easier to play the games you love. Technology has enabled us to find new ways to play the games we already enjoy as well as creating new ones.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is always something new to play at an online casino. One of the newer games on the block is live gaming. We\u2019ll be taking you through live blackjack – what it is, how to play and why you should give it a go.<\/p>

What is live blackjack?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The game of blackjack has been around for centuries and it\u2019s thought to have originated in France. This is due to it being mentioned in a novel called Don Quixote by Cervantes. This novel came out in the late 16th century so it\u2019s been a favourite game for a long time.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In French, it was called twenty one as this is the number that you\u2019re aiming for in the game. This game was also called Pontoon <\/a>in the UK when it was played extensively in World War I.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The difference between a normal game of online blackjack and live blackjack<\/a> is that live blackjack is hosted in a land based casino. There is a real life dealer in a real casino who live streams the game that you can play along with at home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The game pretty much stays the same, there\u2019s just one new element to enjoy. We\u2019ll take you through how to play live blackjack so you know what to expect if you want to try it out for yourself.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to play live blackjack <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Playing live blackjack is easy as there aren\u2019t too many complicated rules to remember. And the game is played the same way whether you play the live version or the regular version of blackjack.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When you\u2019re playing live blackjack, you need to find the game you\u2019d like to play on the site. You might also need to make a monetary deposit before you can enter the game, but this will be dependent on the site you\u2019re on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve entered the game, the dealer will deal out one card to themselves and one card to you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The next card they deal to you will be face up on the table so you and the dealer can see what you have. The dealer will then deal themselves another card but this one will be face down.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Looking at your cards and the one card that the dealer has that you can see, you need to work out which of the two of you are more likely to have cards that add up to 21. If you think you\u2019re in with a chance, you can stick to your bet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you think the dealer is more likely to have cards adding up to 21, you can fold and start another game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s as much a game of chance as anything else and is very simple to play. Hopefully the odds will be in your favour!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why play live blackjack online?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Playing live blackjack online has many benefits. One thing that you lose when you\u2019re playing at an online casino is the human element.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As blackjack is played just with you and the dealer, if you can\u2019t see the person there in front of you, it might not be as fun to play. But lots of people are too far away from land based casinos to play whenever they like.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Live blackjack eradicates this issue as you can see the real dealer in front of you. There is a more real feel to the game which can make it more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to play your favourite game<\/a>, not just at home, but also when you\u2019re out and about. You can play live blackjack via an app which makes it even easier to get a game in.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can bust any sight of boredom in an instant by playing live blackjack via a gaming app.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019re also more likely to get some form of bonus or promotion when you\u2019re playing live blackjack online.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Online casinos are everywhere so they\u2019re all in competition with each other. This means that they\u2019re all trying to get players to play on their site through offers and promotions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s great news for players as they can play more games for less. This also means that the chances of winning are higher as the more you play, the bigger your chances of a win are.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a fun new game to play, live blackjack could be the answer to all your prayers. This game is easy to play and brings you the best of both worlds when it comes to the ease of playing online and the human element of a live dealer.<\/p>\n
