Blackjack Bonanza

Blackjack fans are spoilt for choice at the online casino games site getminted.com as 9 variations of the game are on offer to online punters!

Power Blackjack, 21 + 3 Blackjack, Double Attack Blackjack, European Blackjack, Blackjack with Hot Streak Bonus, Multi-Hand Blackjack, Multi-Hand Black with 1000x Bonus, Table Blackjack and Top Hat 21 can all be played giving the punters a chance to truly get minted.  These can be played in free mode as well as for cash so players can practice the games before gambling.

For those of you not familiar with blackjack, it is the most-played casino game on the planet.  It is also known as ‘21’ or ‘pontoon’.  It is a simple card game for beginners as the basic rules are easy to understand.  Cards are dealt out to players and the player that’s total value of cards adds up to 21 or, is the closest value below 21, wins.  If your card value exceeds 21 then you lose.  If the value of your cards adds up to somewhere below 21 and the next card dealt may see the value of your cards go over 21 you have the choice of sticking with your cards instead of being dealt another card.  These are the basic rules but the 9 games on offer at Getminted Casino have slightly different rules to make it even more interesting for gamblers.

Getminted Casino’s manager, Stuart Millar said, “Few casinos have the abundance of Blackjack games we have and our 9 games all vary in style. It is tremendous that we have so many table games for our players to choose from.”

Various Blackjack promotions and tournaments are run on the site from time to time.  These include the ‘Back to Blackjack’ weekend tournament run earlier this year where the first prize was £1,000.

Mr Millar added that a blackjack tournament for next month dubbed “September Blackjack Showdown” is currently being planned.

This year’s film “21” featuring Kevin Spacey has given blackjack greater exposure.  It tells the story of a student played by Jim Sturgess who together with his friends gamble at Blackjack in Las Vegas as a way to pay their tuition fees.  They seek the advice of their Maths teacher played by Spacey who devises a winning strategy to beat the casinos.
