Introduction to blackjack

Blackjack is a card game that is often found at land-based casinos. There might be several players seated around the blackjack table, but in this game, it is all about the dealer only. When playing blackjack, the dealer is your only opponent and your goal is to beat him. It is a game that is quite easy to get started with, but more difficult to become really good at. That's because this is a game where strategy and tactics are key.

In its essence though, the game is very straightforward: You get dealt two cards and can after that decide if you want more cards or not. The dealer also starts with two cards, where you can see one of them. All numbered cards are worth their face value, picture cards (J, Q, K) are all worth 10, and ace (A) can be used as 1 or 11. The aim is to get a total of 21 or as close to 21 as possible (without going over) on your hand. If you have a better hand than the dealer, you win, and if not, the dealer wins.

How online blackjack works

Due to its quick and simple gameplay combined with the possibility of strategically beating the dealer, blackjack has become a very popular game at both land-based and online casinos. Playing the game online works exactly the same way as when playing it in person.

You can either play video-generated versions with virtual cards or live casino versions where you play against a real dealer, streamed in real-time. The overall aim is still the same (to get 21/beat the dealer) but with modern online versions, there are many different blackjack variants available – all with their unique twists and quirks, such as side bets or other features.

How to play blackjack for free online

If you want to play blackjack at an online casino, you have to register an account and deposit real money to play with. But luckily there are also websites where you can play 100% for free – and you don't have to look far to find it! That's because you can find an abundance of free blackjack games right here at Temple of Games.

With free blackjack games online, you are playing in a so-called "demo" or "free play" version. In these games, you play using virtual chips that don't have any real value. That way, you can place bets for free and enjoy the game just as it is developed for real-money play too.
