Playing Blackjack Face-to-Face

Apr 26th 2007

By casino blackjack we mean the face-to-face game you play at land based casinos. By online blackjack of course we mean the software you use to play at an online casino. Now you are wondering if there is any difference. The rules for a casino or online blackjack casino game are the same but the environment is the one who makes the difference.

The casinos in Vegas and all over the world (at least the good ones) spend enormous amounts of money to create an environment that is perfect for them, not for you and I say for them because they know that if the player is feeling good in their casino he will most likely spend much more time in there and that is advantageous for them in the end and perhaps not for you. You should remember that the house edge on many games is calculated and more consistent over a longer period of game play, and as such the casinos are more likely to keep more money if you play for an extended period. So, from the complete lack of clocks, windows, or outside intrusions, to the fresh oxygen pumped in so you never feel groggy, Vegas has such complete control over your environment that they can manage to keep gamblers in one place for hours at a time ... and increase their odds of winning. Besides, when walking in a casino you will take notice of the fact that there are no other places to sit than the ones in front of a machine or table.

While in a casino you will find a manipulating environment, playing online you will be the one whose in control and decide on everything and no tip required. The great advantage of online gambling is that you can play for as long as you want, no formal dress code required, you can take an hour between bets to look up a table for basic strategy reference or to call an expert friend or you can simply play for fun or practice with the free games offered. In casino blackjack, you need to be able to react very quickly and you're not given time to think. This is the greatest advantage the casino could possibly have over you. And now all of a sudden, with online blackjack, it's the greatest advantage you could possibly have over them.
