Real Money Online Blackjack Ontario

At Jackpot City Ontario, we aim to provide the broadest possible variety of casino games, including the world’s most popular card game: Blackjack. This page has the all information on blackjack rules and gameplay that you need to play blackjack online in Ontario.

Part of what makes blackjack so much fun is all the different types, each with subtle differences to keep things interesting. Here are some popular variants to explore when you play blackjack online in Ontario:

• Classic Blackjack: A single-deck variant where the dealer stands on all 17s.
• European Blackjack: A single-deck variant where the dealer stands on soft 17.
• Atlantic City Blackjack: An eight-deck variant where the dealer peeks for blackjack on 10 or 11. This means they look at their burn card. If they have blackjack, they show their hand and the round ends.
• Vegas Strip Blackjack: Similar to Atlantic City Blackjack, but the dealer only peeks for blackjack on 10.
• Vegas Downtown Blackjack: A two-deck variation where the dealer hits on soft 17.
• Premier Blackjack with Side Bets: Classic Blackjack with eight decks and two side bets. The 21+3 side bet pays if your first two cards and the dealer’s first card form a poker hand, from 5:1 for a flush to 100:1 for suited three of a kind. The Perfect Pairs side bet pays out up to 25:1 if your first two cards are a pair.
• Multihand Blackjack: Play multiple hands of blackjack at the same time in popular variants like Multihand Classic Blackjack, Multihand Atlantic City Blackjack, and Multihand Vegas Downtown Blackjack.
• Live Blackjack: Jackpot City also has a live dealer section where you can enjoy real live blackjack in Ontario. These games have HD graphics and real-life dealers to create an authentic casino atmosphere.

Let’s take a look at blackjack gameplay, scoring, and bet types.

Gameplay

Players and the dealer receive two cards each. Players' cards are face up, while one of the dealer's cards (called the hole card) remains face down. Players can then choose to hit or stand. Once all players have completed their turn, the dealer reveals their hole card. The dealer then follows specific rules for drawing additional cards based on the casino's rules (e.g., hitting on 16 and standing on 17). Finally, the winning hand is determined. The hand closest to 21 wins. If a player exceeds 21, it's a bust, and the dealer wins.

Card Values and Scoring:

• Numbered cards (2-10) are worth their face value.
• Face cards (King, Queen, Jack) are valued at 10.
• Aces can be worth either 1 or 11, depending on the player's choice and the hand's requirements.

Different Bet Types

Side Bets: Side bets are placed before the game starts and aren’t affected by the main game (you can  go bust and still win a side bet). Many variants have their own specific side bets. In Premium Blackjack With Buster Blackjack™, for instance, you can bet on the dealer going bust.

Insurance: When the dealer's face-up card is an Ace, players can bet that the dealer has blackjack. Winning insurance bets pays 2:1.

Doubling Down: After receiving the first two cards, players can double their original bet, after which they must stand. Different variants have different rules for doubling down. In Switch European Blackjack, for example, you can double down on 9, 10 or 11, while you can double down on any hand in American Blackjack.

Splitting Pairs: A player whose first initial two cards are a pair can split them into two separate hands. The player places an additional bet equal to their original wager on the second hand and plays each hand separately.
