How do free blackjack games work?

Free blackjack works just like regular blackjack, with the same rules as when playing for real money. It's just important to note that the money won when playing free blackjack is fake money for practice. You can't cash out any winnings made in this mode.

Blackjack is played using multiple, standard decks of 52 cards (no jokers). In the game, each player receives two cards to start with. The dealer also receives two cards; one facing up and one facing down.

The aim of the game is to beat the dealer's hand. You win if your cards add up to a total value that is closer to 21 than the dealer's, or if the dealer goes bust (more than 21). When the dealer's hand value is closer to 21 than yours or you go bust, the dealer wins.

Card values

In blackjack, the suits of the cards have no meaning in the game – it is all about the numerical value. Face cards (King, Queen and Jack) all equal 10, while Aces can count as either 1 or 11 depending on the hand. Normal cards from 2 to 10 retain their face value.

If you play a hand without an ace, it is known as a hard hand since it only has one value. However, if your cards include an ace, you have a soft hand. Holding an ace allows players to get more cards without going bust, as the value can be 1 or 11 depending on what works best for the hand as a whole.

Actions

After you've been dealt your first two cards, you can choose how you would like to continue the round based on your hand. Standard actions include the following:

• Hit: Players use this action to draw another card to add to their hand. When playing in person, you simply need to tap on the table to hit.
• Stand: Once you are satisfied with the cards you have received, you can choose to stand (not receive any more cards).
• Split: If your two initial cards are the same (for example 8 of Spades and 8 of Hearts), you normally have the option to split your hand into two. This will create two new hands with one 8 and a new card added to each, allowing you to wager two hands at the same time.
• Double down: A popular bet that can be placed directly after your initial two cards have been dealt. If you are confident with your hand, you can double the value of your initial bet for a higher return when you win/the dealer goes bust. With this bet, you have to stand after taking a maximum of one more card.

Benefits of playing blackjack online for free

There are many benefits to playing black jack and other casino games for free online, the most significant of which is the absence of any financial risk. Blackjack demo games don't require players to risk their money. Instead, you are playing with a demo balance that you can spend without any risk.

Another perk is that players can try different games and find their favorite – again without spending any real money in this "testing stage". There are many versions of online blackjack so in order to find the best option for you, it is a good idea to try some different ones.

When playing for free, you can also put into practice any newly-learned strategies that you would like to try. This way, you can try different ways of wagering and see what you prefer before spending any real money on actual bets.

Lastly, free blackjack games can simply provide a lot of fun. You don't always have to spend money in order to get entertained, and if you only want to play something, you might find it just as rewarding for free as when playing for real money. It's also easy to get started right away, as you won't have to register any account to play for free here at Casino Universe.
