Crypto Blackjack

Crypto BlackJack

The start of Blackjack is still unknown but historians who are experts on the matter believe that it was created around the 1700s in French casinos. Vingt-et-un is a French word that translates to twenty one which is a popular name of Blackjack. The game could have also been derived from the French game Chemin de Fer which was gaining popularity around that period. Blackjack was played at every casino and was even the most popular game in the French Royal Court in which King Louis XV was a regular player. Today the game is commonly referred to as twenty one, as that is the amount of points each player hopes to obtain.

Many changes have been introduced to the game as casinos needed a better way to promote Blackjack. It wasn’t until many years ago that casinos started to offer bonus payouts to help intense people to play. If you’re dealt Blackjack you’re often given 1.5X your bet automatically.

 

Traditional Rules and elements of BlackJack

  1. The player sits down at the table and has to place a bet that can not be taken back.
  2. The dealer gives the player 2 cards and places 1 card face down and the other face up.
  3. (You need to understand the values of the hand now) All cards have the value assigned on the card. So a 9 is a 9, 8 is an 8. Jacks, Queens, and Kings are all assigned with a 10 value and aces are 11 or 1. You have to add both card values to determine the value of your hand.
  4. Now the player must decide on standing, hitting, surrendering, double downing or splitting.
  5. The dealer is the last person to play and must hit on 16 or less. The dealer must also stand on 17 or any amount it lands on after that.
  6. If the players hand is greater than the dealers, then the player is paid 100% of the bet placed. If the Player goes over 21, and the dealer goes over 21, the player loses.
  7. If the dealer and player show the exact same total, then the bets are returned which is known as a “push”.

 

Bitcoin Black Ace values

An ace is assumed to hold an 11 value unless it would make your hand go bust. If an ace would make your hand exceed 21, then you should count it as 1.

 

How does insurance work in Black Jack?

 

When the dealer shows an ace as the face up card, players will have an option to make an insurance wager. If the dealer has Blackjack, then the player will lose 100% of the bet, however the insurance allows the player to forfeit half the bet and be taken out of the hand. So, in the event the dealer shows a 10, you will only lose half your bet instead of the entire thing. It is basic strategy that you should not accept insurance.

 

BTC provably fair

When you’re looking for an online bitcoin casino to play on the internet, one of the most prolific things to look at is whether the game has a provably fair option. Provably fair is a popular gambling phrase that refers to the authenticity of the game. When you’re playing a game of chance with real money, you don’t want to be scammed which is why the casinos offer a way to prove the legitimacy of the games. When you play a Crypto Blackjack game, you will be given a seed phrase after each game that can be searched into an algorithm that will verify that the random number generator was working properly. The outcome of the game can not be predicted or changed in any way. A new seed phrase is given to the players after a shuffling of the deck. Without BTC Blackjack games this would not be possible, because you would need an immutable seed phrase to verify games.
