European Blackjack Game Review

By: Russell Potvin

Playing different variants of favourite online games offers constant fun and excitement and always keeps the player on his toes. When playing European Blackjack, the rules tab is located in the top left corner of the screen. Anytime he needs verification how to proceed, he just clicks on the down arrow for the pane to open up and again for it to close. This is nice and convenient and keeps the player in the know.

With European Blackjack, one of the major changes a player will notice right from the off is how the cards are dealt. Playing the standard game a player will receive his two cards face up and the dealer is dealt one face up and one face down. The face down card is referred to as the 'hole' card. Here in this game the player receives his two cards as normal but the dealer is only dealt one card face up. The hole card is withheld until the player's played his hand.

There are two other differences from the standard game. One of them relates to the 'Double' button which a player uses when he wishes to double his bet or "Double Down". The player can only double his bet when his two cards total 9, 10 or 11. For this purpose the 'Double' button is only lit when this option is available and if the player chooses to do so, he is just dealt one more card before the Dealer's hand is played.

There is one final difference with European Blackjack over American Blackjack. When playing American Blackjack, the dealer must hit when dealt a soft 17. In this European version the Dealer does not hit, he has to stand, thus adding another dimension to the outcome of the game.
