Mobile Blackjack

More than any other mobile casino game, mobile blackjack is a game that requires thought and strategy, as well as luck, to win. If you enjoy matching your wits against the dealer, you're sure to enjoy playing mobile blackjack on your mobile phone or iPhone at All Slots Mobile Casino.

In the game of blackjack, all of the cards are worth their normal values, except for the face cards, which are all worth 10, and the ace, which is worth 1 or 11, whichever is better for you. The object of the game is to acquire a hand whose value is higher than that of the dealer's hand, but without going over 21.

At the beginning of the blackjack game, after you place your bet, you receive two cards face-up and the dealer receives one card face-up. If your two cards are an ace and any 10-value card, that's a Blackjack, and you win a 3-to-2 payout on your bet.

If you don't get a Blackjack, it's time to play your blackjack hand, which means it's time to make some decisions. You can Hit, which means to take another card. You can Stand, which means to stop with the cards you have.

If your two cards add up to 9, 10, or 11, you can Double Down. That means you double the amount of your bet, receive one more card, and then stand.

If your first two cards are the same denomination, you can Split. That means that your cards are split into two separate hands, a bet equal to the amount of your original bet is placed on each of the two hands, each hand receives a second card, and you proceed to play each hand by hitting or standing in the normal manner.

If the dealer's first card is an ace, you may make an Insurance bet. This is a side bet, equal to half the amount of your regular bet. If the dealer has blackjack, you win a 2-to-1 payout on your insurance bet.

If the value of your hand goes over 21, you Bust and automatically lose. If you stand without busting, the mobile casino dealer receives his second card and proceeds to play his hand. If his hand totals 16 or less, the dealer must hit; if his hand totals 17 or more, he must stand. If his hand goes over 21, he busts and loses.

If you go over 21 and bust, you lose the blackjack game. If you don't bust and the dealer busts, you win the game. If neither you nor the dealer busts, then the hand with the higher value wins at blackjack. If you and the dealer have hands of equal value, that's called a Push and you neither win nor lose.

Winning at blackjack depends a lot on the luck of the draw, but it depends even more on your blackjack strategy decisions. When to hit and when to stand? When to double and when to split? These are the choices that make mobile blackjack such an exciting and challenging mobile gambling game.
