BlackJack is a simple game. The rules and strategy card are given below. The house edge is razor thin. A little bonus like the "three 7 of spades $5000 prize" is enough to push the payout over 100%. I suspect Commmodore casino will stop offering it when they realize this...

online gambling strategy - BlackJack Payouts:

In general, when you play blackjack based on the tables below, the payout is around 95%. The 2:1 payout on blackjack pushes the odds closer to 98%. The "Three [3] – 7’s of Spades" bonus is like an extra 3.5 cents/hand. If you're playing $1.00 hands, the "Three [3] – 7’s of Spades" bonus increases the odds by 3.5%. The total odds become 101%!

So playing Blackjack is good online gambling strategy. What this means is this. If you play BlackJack with $1.00 hands, and play according to the table above, eventually, you should make money. The thing that puts the odds over the 100% barrier (and makes it good online gambling strategy) is the Three [3] – 7’s of Spades bonus. In order to get this bonus, you'll have to play a fair number of hands. Still, it means that eventually, you'll come out ahead.

BlackJack Card - online gambling strategy

To understand the following online gambling strategy tables, remember an ace can count as either 1 or 11. *A "soft" hand is a hand, which contains an ace that counts as 11. Therefore, a "soft 17" is a hand that contains an ace and a 6. A player with an ace has the advantage of being able to change the ace's value to count as 1 after drawing another card. When a hand contains an ace that counts as 1, it is called a "hard hand".
